It is too early to give them away. Wait till them are at least 8 weeks, 10-12 is what we recommend, but 8 isnt too bad, if you cant held them longer.  Earlier just if there is an crash emergency like dying mom, or something like that, for example, kittens from a ferale mom, and there are adoptions home waiting: they are easier to socialize when they are small.

Good they can eat now on their own, and you use wet food. It is better than dry.  But learn them to eat dry too, if their new owner are dryfood- freaks.   :)

Good luck!

 Nothing really to add.  6 weeks is too soon; 12 is ideal, 8 is okay in a total pinch.

Good luck.

Good she is going soon to be spayed.  The danger of new pregnancy soon after delivery is real. It may be even so shortly as a tenday after, they get in heat etc.  If allowed to go out - oops again.

Cats do NOT have the protections of low fertility while they are giving nursing. Humans do, but not cats.

Good luck!
