Hi Nat, please keep her until she is at least 8 weeks. I really don't think kittens, or pups for that matter, should be taken away from their mothers before that. Their mothers need to teach them to be cats and if they are taken away too young, they become too humanised at their expense.

Hi Nat, that's excellent thanks.
I hope you don't think I was having a go at you cos I wasn't. It's just that Pedigree cat breeders aren't allowed to sell their kittens until they are fully vaccinated, which means we keep ours until they are a minimum of 13 weeks old. I could tell with my females that they weren't ready to give up their kittens at 6, 7 or even at 8 weeks, whereas by the time the kittens were 13/14 weeks old the mothers hardly seemed to notice they'd gone! Even if kittens are weaned and appear independent at 6 weeks, it's definitely too young and most queens aren't ready to lose them that early.

Don't know if it'll help, but now is the time to look for non-pedigree kittens. Non-pedigree females don't have seasons in the winter, so you would have had problems finding a kitten before now.
By the time they start having seasons in the spring and then have a 2 month pregnancy, kittens will be arriving any time from now, so now is the time to start seriously looking. Hope you find one!!
