Although most of us do not give our beloved cats to others, during the process of raising kittens we inevitably encounter two situations: one is that our own time and energy are limited, and we cannot provide good care for the kitten; the second is that the kitten we raise is a mother cat, and we cannot care for all the kittens that the mother cat gives birth to. So, when we must give kittens to others, at what age should it be done? The following will reveal the correct answer to you!

In fact, at how many months kittens can be given away is a personal choice. For some people, as long as the kitten is given away, that is the right time. But in fact, if we give away kittens that are too young, it may cause psychological trauma to the kitten. Therefore, if possible, it is best to choose to give the kitten away after it is three months old. It is worth mentioning that if the mother cat gives birth to many kittens, we should not give all of them away at once; instead, we can send one away at intervals, so that the mother cat will not feel sad.

Why is it better to give kittens away after three months? There are three reasons: first, kittens under three months have poor immunity and need to get nutrition through mother’s milk; second, cats around three months old can be vaccinated, and their condition improves after vaccination; third, kittens older than three months have stronger adaptability and can settle into a new environment more quickly.

In addition, after giving the kitten away, do not neglect it. Be sure to clearly inform the new owner about the kitten’s food preferences, and remind the new owner to deworm the kitten or perform sterilization surgery in a timely manner. Only in this way can the kitten receive considerate care in the new home; otherwise, the kitten may remain unhappy for a long time after being given away.

In summary, no matter what reason we have for giving kittens to others, it is a rather cruel thing for both the kitten and the mother cat. Therefore, in addition to giving kittens away at the right time, we must not forget to care for the kittens after they are given away!
