Is it ethical to give kittens away at 6 weeks of age?
No, it is generally considered unethical to give kittens away at 6 weeks of age because they are still too young and dependent on their mother for proper care and socialization. Kittens should ideally stay with their mother and littermates until they are at least 8-12 weeks old to ensure they develop properly both physically and behaviorally.
Is it okay to give kittens away at 6 weeks old?
No, it is generally not recommended to give kittens away at 6 weeks old as they are still too young and need more time with their mother for proper development and socialization. It is best to wait until they are at least 8-12 weeks old before separating them from their mother.

How long until a kitten can leave their mother?
Really, the best age to give kittens away is about 12 weeks. You should never give 6 or 8 week old kittens away as they are still too young.

It usually takes 12 weeks for kittens to learn all the vital social behaviours they need to develop into well behaved adult cats, as well as knowing how to groom themselves and use the litterbox.

How will the mother cat act after kittens are taken away?
This really depends what age the kittens were when they were taken away. If the kittens were taken too early (6 to 10 weeks old), she will most likely look everywhere for them and try to figure out why they have been taken away. Sadly, too many kittens are taken away from their mothers too early, usually around 6 to 8 weeks old (some kittens aren't even weaned properly at that age). They have had no chance to learn what behaviour is good or bad, and behavioral problems will become apparent as the kitten gets older which, often, are difficult to correct. Mother cats will teach them many things during 8 to 12 weeks, and by 12-13 weeks most kittens are independent enough to be taken away without too much stress from the kitten or the mother cat.

When do you give out newborn kittens?
You never give out newborn kittens; they are much too dependant on their mother for food, warmth and cleaning. Kittens need to be fully weaned and learned all their social skills before leaving for new homes. Most good breeders never let any kittens go before 12 weeks of age. Sadly, too many kittens are still given away much too early. Kittens six to eight weeks old who have already left their mothers and siblings have not learned any important socialisation or behaviour skills yet, which kittens learn from eight weeks onwards. During this time kittens will learn how to play and interact with their littermates, mother and any other animals and humans in the house. They learn what behaviour is acceptable and what is not from their mother, and will learn how to play and share with their littermates. They will also learn about grooming and litterbox use at this crucial time. Taking a kitten away at this crucial stage of development can cause behavior issues later on in its life as it will not have been taught otherwise.
Where do outside cats normally have kittens?
