I'm getting a newborn kitten in a few weeks, i have questions?

DO NOT take a kitten away from its mother unless its at least 6 weeks. Taking a kitten away from siblings won't affect them either, though they may feel lonely, that's where you come in! :) just love that kitten to death and it'll be fine. And if their old enough for regular food, just take regular cat food and add some warm water so they can chew it

Some people are saying 8 weeks, but that is for puppies, as they need more time with their mom. Kittens can be removed from their mothers at 6 weeks of age. They will be weaned off their mother around 4 1/2- 5 weeks of age, so s/he should already be eating hard/ soft kitten food (that's up to you and the kitten!)

Taking the kitten away before 6 weeks could cause separation anxiety problems, it is very common in stray kittens... they also learn a lot from their mommas, and should be left to learn as much as they can from them first!

it is not hard to get them to eat hard food...if they are seeming to not eat you can make it a little mushy (little water), and put it in the microwave. the smell of the warmed food should make your kitten come running!

vaccinations, not until 8 weeks of age, they will need to get a 2nd set i believe it is 4 weeks later (ask your vet though!) and a yearly booster. dewormer is also a good idea, and flea and tick products monthly (you can get as a collar, or one spot drops!)

you vet can tell you exactly what your cat will need for vaccinations!

Hope this was at all helpful!

The kitten can be taken away from its mother from 8 - 12 weeks, the kitten will have to be left to wander around and get used to its new surroundings to make it more comfortable, it may be a bit scared at first but once it gets comfortable it will be fine. The breeder will have to ween the kittens when there teeth start coming through, the mum will stop letting them feed because it will hurt her teats so it will be easy because they will eat it easily, they should be weened on meat first, not biscuits, that happens when they are a bit older. They will need worming and if you ask a local vet they will tell you exactly what they need, I hope this helps!

First things first: you CANNOT take the kitten until it is 8 weeks old. It will have a lot of developmental issues if you take it before then, both mentally and physically. Go visit it when it is younger, but it must stay with its mom and siblings for 8 weeks. The kitten should be weaned around 4-5 weeks, you should not have to wean it. So it should already be used to kitten food. Take your kitten to the vet as soon as you get it at 8 weeks, and they can help answer all of your questions.

It takes 8 weeks for the kitten to be wiened off mothers milk so it has to be that long at least and they should start off with little kitten food then at around 1 year they can go to big kitten food and they also like kitten milk as a treat.And it doesnt effect them if you take them away after the 8 weeks and Cat nip might be good to and take them to the vet while still milking to make sure they have nothing wrong with them.

you cant take the kitten away from its mother til 8 weeks by animal law.

the seperation would be fine as long as you play with him/her so she doesnt get lonely.

the kitten should already be eating wet or dry food when you take him/her as they start to wean about 5-6 weeks. the vaccinations are cat flu and cat leukemia at 8 and 12 weeks. if you go to your vet itll cost about £50 for the pair of jabs and a microchips.

then a yearly booster of the jabs, plus a neutering cost, also near 50 pounds.

but DO NOT let yourself have the kitten until it is AT LEAST 8 weeks old. as its BAD for the kitten to leave its mother sooner.

Well taking care of kittens isn't that hard. First off get the litter box trained. Second you should also take him/her to the vet to get his/her their shots. You might want to get him/her fixed too. Also, kittens are rather low maintenance. Just keep them from walking close to high places (or close off all the high places as best you can) and give them alot of love. Cats move on quickly so you won't have to worry about speration issues. Also kittens have really good sense of smell so he/she should be able to take on kitten food early on. You can get take you kitten into the vet at any time btw. Doesn't matter just as long as they ain't pregnet or going through heat. But I would recommend after heat since in rare cases cats can change their sex. Trust me. Very annoying. Happened to me twice.

If you are only taking one kitten, do not take it before 10-12 weeks old. They need to be fully weaned and litter pan trained which does NOT occur at 8 weeks old!

Shots should be started at 8 weeks or as soon as you get the kitten at 10-12 weeks old. Rabies at 4 months old and spay/neuter by 3-4 months old.

Like humans the feline immune system is not fully developed for newborns and is given a boost from breastfeeding. Allow time for the kitten to develop with it's mother, especially if the mother is a house cat, about six weeks or so should be enough, if you are anxious to have the pet in your home, but the standard is eight weeks. Vaccinations will depend on where you live and if you intend to let the cat roam outdoors. Feline immune-deficiency virus (FIV) and others ailments are common threats to outdoor cats in some areas. Bring the cat to the Vet at 12 weeks to be checked-out, given flea treatment, heartworm treatment (more prevalent in some areas) spay/neuter Sx, ear mites, etc. At the vet you will be given the opportunity to ask more questions specific to your cat and your area. You may want to write down your questions for the vet beforehand, as one typically draws a blank once in the exam room. Remember that the beginning and end of a pets life are the most expensive times of their lives to care for properly, this animal will be in your care, so I encourage to make it pleasant for the pet and spare no expense in prevention, it's worth a pound of cure.

a million. while will I be waiting to tell what shade they are going to be? precise now there's a lighter colored one and a darker colored one. - you are able to no longer rather tell their coloration till they are 12 weeks previous. in specific situations their coloration can extremely danger while they are below 12 weeks. 2. One is greater than the different, is this widespread and is it ok? - definite, it somewhat is thoroughly widespread. as long because of the fact the smaller kitten is starting to be, and eating milk, and would not look like it somewhat is in misery, it would be ok. 3. while could they open their eyes and ears? - around 11-13 days previous. 4. the great one is pushing the smaller one around greater, will he/she become a bully? - optimistically no longer :) Like I mentioned, if the small one is gaining weight and eating, he could be ok. 5. while will they start weaning? - around 5 weeks, yet weaning isn't finished till ultimately 8 weeks. 6. while will it somewhat is healthful to start giving them away? - between 10-12 weeks of age.
