I just wanted to comment that all those out there telling people that have already gotten kittens too young that the point "A kitten shouldn't leave it's mother before 12 weeks" is moot. It's already happened and a lot of people and shelters out there don't wait that long. So I think, instead of stating a moot point that makes us look like somewhat condescending jerks, just to advise on the problem at hand and leave that out... It's done. It's not going to change. It's not like they are going to take the kitten back to it's mom!!
