Tina - they shouldn't be separated from mom and sibs until at least 10 weeks of age... better to do at 12. seven weeks is kinda young.

OOOK i just looked up when they should leave....
Choose a kitten who is outgoing, friendly and playful. Also make sure he is healthy with no obvious signs of problems. Mum and Dad will help with this. Non-pedigree kittens can be taken away from their mothers at 6 weeks old but if they are pedigrees they must be fully vaccinated before they can leave the breeder which means they will be at least 13 weeks old.

aww! if that's the case, that person really shouldn't have cat's! or he should at least look up on how to look after the kitten's, before taking them away from the mother.

We have had some great cats who were only 5 weeks when we got them, so while it's not the best, 7 weeks is better than 5.

You do have other cats. We ended up with Lucy at 8 weeks since there were problems with the mother. She learned a lot from Much (our older cate) so the kittens may learn from your older ones also.

Still, staying with Mom would be optimal.

I foster, and rescue myself so take in tons of kittens without parents and siblings under that age..they do alright, get raised by my other cats. (Though, most of the time I do have foster kittens their age..)

Atleast there will be 2.
