If kittens are given away in pairs (a member here is adopting two) can they be given away sooner (like 8-9 weeks old?) My momma cat Sophie is pretty much sick of them now that they are 6 weeks old. She is also in heat and trys desperatly to escape every day. Right now they are perfect in the litter box and eat dry kibble. I know ya'll are probably going to tell me to still wait till 10-12 weeks but I was asking just in case.

10-12 is still best.
well, if the kits are weaned... can't she be spayed? that would solve the annoyance issue!

It would be better if you could wait a few more weeks - at least till 10 weeks. But if its a member on this board who has other cats, I suppose adopting 2 kittens from the same litter at 8-9 weeks would be ok
When is mom scheduled to be spayed if she's back in heat?

On average how long do you need to wait after birth to spay the mom? and how long will it be before she goes into heat again? Lord I have a momma and I was a vet tech forever but it was forever ago...and all my cats have been male.....and I didn't want mine to go bonkers on me because my nuetered male is already having a cow to get in there but I don't know her FeLV/FIP status. I will test her as soon as she gets a bit more settled with her kittens and in my house. She isn't used to all the interaction as it is...so separation is what I am doing but a heat cycle would make life grand....umm not!
Some females can go back into heat within days of delivering - others will be nice enough to wait months
I'd talk with your vet on when he/she feels that its a good time. Seems most will wait till the kittens are about 8 weeks old.
