What age is the right age to rehome kittens from their mother?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

Went to see some 6wo kittens today and have fallen in love, the owner wants to rehome them asap, I have somehing pinging in my brain that 8 weeks is about right, but I really want these kittens and I know if I ask her to wait, she'll juts give them to the next person who offers iyswim?

Dliemma, please help.

Does seem pricey but they're totally worth it though.

Last time I bought a kitten (10yrs ago?) they were £25.

Try your local vets, CPL place and also if there is a "country" type store around. My kitty cost a bottle of wine!

Pinot, don't get me wrong I am not kitten averse, but mine was a stray, and I know that CPL only charge about £30 so it just seemed a bit steep.

9 week old kittens

a 10 week old one

older, but has such a sweet wee face

The RSPCA says they have 73 kittens

aaaaaaaaawwwwww though I don't know far away that is, lol

[GrimmaTheNome]

cough...

[PinotMN]

OMG tabulahrasa the one with the sweet face! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh please adopt her Chaos.

Chaos? Where are you duck?

CHAOS!

CHAOS!

OK then I'll have her

[PinotMN]

I know bitter, no worries :)

[tabulahrasa]

She is sooooo sweet pinot...

[PinotMN]

She's almost ridiculously pretty. I love tortoiseshells and she is probably the prettiest one I've ever seen. I feel so sad she's in a rescue centre :(

CHAOS!!!!!!

Also, the Mum to the awwwwwwww linked kitten is available, so Chaos, you could adopt a Mum and her baby girl.

I'm going to turn into Mad Cat Lady when I'm older aren't I

[tabulahrasa]

did you look at the second photo of her? She looks so sad :( Like she was posing, lol

[PinotMN]

She's sad because Chaos refuses to come back to the effing thread and then adopt her.

CHAOS!!

[tabulahrasa]

poor poor noodles...

that's a stupid name, I think I'd call her Jellybean?

I'm here.



Have been in school all afternoon and kinda avoiding the thread a bit as I am burying my head in the sand.

Am on my notsofarking smartphone at the mo, so shall click on the links tonight after they've gone to bed and have a look through.

Thanks everyone for your kind words and sterling research. I actually really appreciate all you sprites.

I am wondering what they would have done if no one had taken them off their hands and if it involves a bath full of water?

Some people eh?

[SecretNutellaFix]

Chaos, I didn't see this yesterday. I'm sorry for you- I'm sure your feline master will be yours someday soon.

Omg I was just checking to see what age is the best age for kittens to leave their mum as I couldn't remember brain is really scatty nowadays lol anyway came across this thread and have to say as a cat owner myself that it disgusts me how some ppl can call themselves responsible pet owners these ppl obviously knew that their queen was pregnant so they should have held off their plans until the kittens were of a right age to leave their mum this to me is selfish sorry but it is but I hope that they all have good homes now would hate it if they took matters into there own hands
