When to Wean Your Kittens


Kittens can be so fun and exciting. They are so cute with their tiny little eyes, pointed ears, and cotton ball sized bodies. If you’re taking care of kittens, then you may want to talk to your vet about a timeline for these kittens. Yes, they were just born. However, you need to know how to help them grow and mature. For instance, the weaning process should start around four weeks of age. The mother cat will most likely start it on her own. You can start weaning at three weeks of age if there is no mother cat present. The process should transition into completion between six and eight weeks of age. Some experts have stated that a kitten is old enough to be weaned when he can open his eyes, focus, and is steady on his feet. He may also start nibbling the mom’s dry cat food. Contact your vet Aurora, CO for more details and advice.
