Re: How long b4 kittens can leave mum?

I've always thought 3 months old for kittens, when I went and picked out my kitten (she's 10 now and still called the kitten) they were about 5 weeks old. I knew the queens owner and asked her if she'd keep the kitten until it was 3 months old as I think it's too young at 6 weeks or so, they're still little tiny baby kittens at that age. Out of the whole litter my cat is now the biggest and has had no health problems, I think thats because she weaned naturally from mum, although for the last 6 weeks that she was there she was the only kitten as all the others had been rehomed. I couldn't have taken her if the owner hadn't have agreed to keep her for those extra few weeks as I was out of the country when they were being rehomed, I didn't pay any money for her (she's a common moggie and the owner wanted good homes for the kittens) but I did provide some food and litter towards her upkeep for the extra time she was there.

No didn't keep either of them. They both now have nice pet homes. Yes I have 4 moggies, 2 of them are 1/2 siamese, boy boths, both loud, both full of energy. It's a mad house, but lots of fun!

Sounds like they're typical boys and you wouldn't swap em for all the tea in china

Re: How long b4 kittens can leave mum?

to send a kitten to a new home without any vet checks at 8 weeks is very silly. surely the new owners would want an assurance from a vet that they were healthy before they part with any money? unless you sell for pennies of course.

Re: How long b4 kittens can leave mum?

Not sure-so i may stand corrected but think 8 wks is the norm for moggie kitts-dunno about breed kitts though Catlover Sometimes though not being with mum is a need as opposed to a want-as in sometimes people who foster rescue cats/kittens hand rear to keep kitts alive so in said scenario and some instances you may have to rehome them earlier than you normally would i suppose-never done it and never would with ours
