Kittens must be at least 12 weeks old to be separated from their mother. The should not be taken away any earlier.
'The mother's 'milk contains a fatty acid called DHA. This makes up a large portion of the brain. It encourages healthy mental and emotional development as well as healthy vision. Kitten foods don't contain as much DHA as mama's milk.' So it is VERY Important they stay with their mother till 8-12weeks.
Also, when giving away a kitten or any pet for that matter; Provide information about That type of animal, to the New owner. (a brochure, a list, a website..) Any stranger can take an animal & not understand it's needs and such.
Such as: (Needs, How they behave, what's normal & what is not, what may be poisonous to them..etc.)

∙ 10y agoThe kitten should still be feeding off its mother at 10-11 weeks, so to be on the safe side normal kittens should be sold at 12 weeks.
When you have a litter of kittens they should be able to keep feeding off their mother as well as having wet cat food, usually mashed up thoroughly and, for newly weaned kittens, the food mixed in with a little water. However at 10-12 weeks their food can be slowly changed to more solid food.
Another reason to keep the kittens until 12 weeks is because this allows the kittens to learn how to behave around other kittens and people. Playing with their litter-mates and mother teaches the kittens what is and is not acceptable. Taking a kitten away at this crucial stage of development can cause behaviour issues later on in its life as it will not have been taught otherwise.
