what age kittens can be adopted
6 weeks is too young to be adopted. 8 weeks is the absolute minimum. 12 weeks is ideal. Kittens learn a lot of social skills at that age from their mother and litter-mates such as not to bite, scratch, and play too rough.Most shelters will not let a kitten be adopted till at least 8 weeks old.Good, reputable breeders will not sell a kitten younger than 12 weeks.o NOT adopt these kittens out till they are at least 8 weeks old. Later would be even better. Also do NOT give these kittens away. Ask for a small adoption fee, even $10. Free cats and kittens can meet horrific ends in research labs and as dog-fighting bait.
