Kittens can be safely held from a very young age, typically starting at around 2 to 3 weeks old. It's important to support their bodies properly by cradling them with one hand under their chest and the other supporting their hindquarters. This helps prevent any accidental injuries and allows the kitten to feel secure and comfortable in your grasp. Gradually increasing handling and socialization from a young age is beneficial for their overall development and helps them become well-adjusted adult cats.
