Hello! I know the healthy standard time frame for a kitten to be rehomed is at least 10 weeks, and even better at 12! Well I found an ad with a lady pushing her 6 week old kittens already! all because she said they were litter trained, eating hard foods, etc.... she is definitely not a proper home breeder in regards to having the kittens best interest in mind. The home was clean, kittens were cared for, but I could not explain to them that kittens should stay with mom as long as possible due to language barrier. The 3 adult cats were healthy in regards to weight on coat shine but ones undercoat was very matted when I was petting him. I felt like if I didnt take one of the 3(litter of 6) that someone else would have anyways and who knows what kind if care it would have had! I have taken care of young kittens before that were separated from mom either to situations like this or mom passed away but it's been a while. Kitten is doing amazing for only being 6 weeks. She has used the litter box(we already had an oopsie poopsie butt bath LOL), she has ate, and is exploring and being playful. I plan on calling vet tomorrow to set up first shots and a general check up. She is currently sleeping but I plan on getting a weight on her. She is only a pound at most from my guess. Any advice that anyone could give? I was debating on going to getting some kitten formula today to supplement as I have not seen kitten drink water yet!
