How long b4 kittens can leave mum?

Hi, can anybody lend their opinion into when its ok to allow the kittens to leave their mum and begin new lives away from her elsewhere?
I would like to know all opinions but only if you have followed through the departure and see with your own eyes that they have been ok.
Obviousley kittens get sold or given away and we never hear from them again, but I wanna know that they are ok tho.
Maybe u have recieved a kitten, how was it? How old?
One more question, how long after the pregnauncy do i have to leave it before I get the mum spay'd?

cheers for your help!

Re: How long b4 kittens can leave mum?

Kittens are usually ok to leave mum at 8 weeks,however there are some exceptions to this.If your happy your babies are feeding well,are a good size and weight then they will be fine.(under 8 weeks is to young)as far as mum goes as soon as babes are weaned and gone your vet will spay her,as long as she is strong enough.

100% on this one me dear, lol. 13 weeks! Have the first vaccs at 10 weeks and then the second half at 13 weeks. Works to perfection.........any sooner sickly kitten! Mum being speyed, get the vets advice. C.x.

BTW most vets will not vaccinate at less than 9 weeks old??????

Re: How long b4 kittens can leave mum?

I got my 2 Siamese boys at 14 weeks. I feel that any younger than that they wouldnt have been ready to be away from their mum. They still cried the first night, but settled quickly after that.

Never had a sickly kitten in 5 years! i dont vaccinate my kittens as the whole vaccination thing is very contraversial for my breed.I have had a couple of people who have had very bad experiances after vaccinating,1 of them being fatal(not my kittens i might hasten to add and he was registered so not a byb offspring!))I leave it up to the person buying as to whether they vaccinate or not,have never had any problem with this.
