How old do kitten's have to be to get rid of them?

Answers:
I agree with Nightflight on this (though I don't know about dogs lol ) 12 weeks and for the same reasons

Get rid of? You mean seperate them from their mother after you find them a loving home that you have checked out? 8 weeks is the youngest they can be to seperate them from their mother. Please require that all the new owners get them spayed and neutered and do the same with yours. It's sad that there are so many animals that people need to "get rid of".

6 weeks

My mother and I breed and raise himilayans and persians and I am also a junior in Animal Science at Iowa State University. The absolute minimum age that you can wean kittens and puppies is six weeks old. Eight weeks is the norm and better for the kitten, but some circumstances don't allow you to wait until eight weeks of age so six weeks is the absolute youngest. Some people wait until they are 12 weeks to sell them, buy that time the kittens should be fully weaned and taking care of themselves.

8 weeks is healthy age to do that at

At least 8 weeks, but most books say 12 is best. But if the person your giving them to wants to have them get first shots there usually done at 8-9 weeks. Because their immune system is just building then. I just got a kitten today at 9 weeks and two days. Basically they better be eating solid foods to.

"Get rid of" - you're a real piece of work. You sound like you honestly love your cat. I can tell. I mean, you wouldn't put up the cash to have her fixed, and now you just can't wait to "get rid of" the kittens you are ultimately responsible for.

Why do you have a cat?

6 weeks is too young for cats, it's right for dogs though.
At twelve weeks of age, most kittens are weaned or nearly fully so, have had adequate socialization with mother and siblings

They have to be about 6 to 8 weeks old or until they stop drinking from their mother. Or u can make them stop at the age of 6 to 8 weeks and start them on wet food. Just don't force them to eat.

I say 8 weeks to separate them from their mother. Where you live? I want them if you consider just Getting RID of them, you should make sure they go to good homes, and not to someones dinner table (yea that happens around here)
