Re: How long b4 kittens can leave mum?

We rehome at 13 weeks. It's a 'strong recommendation' by the GCCF, but we choose to do it because we can be sure that they have gone through the various danger periods (first days, first weeks, first injections, second injections) and are properly weaned and litter trained. They cannot have their second injections until they are twelve weeks old and you need a week or so to monitor their reaction.

13 weeks + and fully vaccinated and wormed. if for any reason i think a kitten is not ready at 13 weeks it will stop with me until i see them fit to leave, even if thats 16 weeks! get to have kitten cuddles longer then.
Oh do you breed then Fluffy?

I beg your pardon, but my name is not 'Madeline'?? I think you may have confused me for somebody else?

Anyhow, back to your response...

If you cared to have read my post properly, I said that PEDIGREE kittens DO leave at 13 weeks old. The younger age of 8 weeks applied to NON-PEDIGREE kittens and kittens in some overseas countries leave at 9 weeks old and not in the UK. And my kittens do leave at 13 weeks old, I didn't say otherwise. I do not breed non-pedigree kittens

She was just arguing the opposite, Chrissy. Don't let it get to you.

Re: How long b4 kittens can leave mum?

I was actually agreeing but merely stating a fact on the lower ages in different countries.

it is up to each individual whether they home non-pedigree kittens at 8/9/10.... weeks old. Enough said

I personally wouldn't let a kitten go at 8 weeks either so we agree on that!

My name is Rose, so pleased to meet you
