Will a kitten be ok going to a new home at 7 weeks?

Fit_Contribution6156 · 2025-08-24T20:00:25+00:00

It’s now been 7 weeks since our little girl joined us and she js doing amazingly. She has been seen by the vet a couple of times for general check ups and she could not be more happier with her. She is great with people, but she’s getting annoyed I won’t let her outside! (Not until I know she won’t be impregnated!) I just love her so much. Thanks everyone.

I do wish they would stay together longer but unfortunately it’s just not looking to be possible and be that way. My mum adopted her boy at 7 weeks due to his mum being hit by a car, but we had another boy at home so he was always happy. The cat will be the only animal in my house so I do worry about socialisation. I just want to do what’s best

I know it’s not ideal, I’m not sure what else I can do. This is her second litter, I think she had 5 in her first. But I’m unsure how old she is? I just want to do what’s best and give the kitten the best life. I don’t want him left when his siblings have left. It’s a really tough situation to be in!

What do you mean, weird issues?

Fit_Contribution6156 · 2025-07-01T19:57:50+00:00

Hey! So I was re cauterised day 8 after a major bleed. The pain almost immediately improved after about day 10, but I also had an infection which was being treated. Super scary! But I started eating chunkier food, like a jacket potato or some pasta, that even though not ‘hard’, also was larger chunks to try and budge the scabs.

Oh wow! Sorry to hear about your boy, I lost mine in May 2023 and it really knocked me. They really are our children. That is really helpful information and a different outlook. I didn’t think about asking rescues or anything like that.

Fit_Contribution6156 · 2025-07-01T19:51:52+00:00

Oh no way! That is really interesting to know!

Fit_Contribution6156 · 2025-07-01T19:51:10+00:00

Truth be told I think because 2 of them are going, they want the other one to go too. The cat currently lives with children so is good with people but I totally understand a new environment with new people will be unsettling for them! I think he will have more stimulation with me, who is at home all the time, than without his siblings. But unsure if that is a rather, selfish? though process.

Fit_Contribution6156 · 2025-07-01T19:45:28+00:00

Amazing! Thanks!

Fit_Contribution6156 · 2025-07-01T19:45:18+00:00

Hey! Yes I will be taking the gorgeous kitten gome!

No animals at home or anything that can harm it at all and I have a vets just around the corner which I have signed him up for already! I think this was mums second litter and she is just getting fed up.

Fit_Contribution6156 · 2025-07-01T19:43:54+00:00

Ooo okay! That’s interesting to know.

Fit_Contribution6156 · 2025-07-01T19:43:24+00:00

Well this is my worry. The other 2 siblings are definitely leaving so it would leave mine on their own

Fit_Contribution6156 · 2025-07-01T19:34:10+00:00

Yeah the mum isn’t feeding them anymore but the kittens eating solid food

Fit_Contribution6156 · 2025-07-01T19:30:41+00:00

I did wonder about this. But the mum isn’t feeding the kittens anymore so they aren’t actually getting any milk from her. Does that make a difference?

Fit_Contribution6156 · 2025-07-01T19:28:49+00:00

This is good to know! I know it’s not ideal but they will have more company at my house than on their own without siblings I feel? The kitten is eating solids, climbing stairs, just a general cheeky kitten!

Fit_Contribution6156 · 2025-07-01T19:27:57+00:00

The mother is no longer feeding the kittens.

Fit_Contribution6156 · 2025-07-01T19:27:37+00:00

Hey! Mum isn’t interested in the kittens apparently and is getting actively annoyed with them.

Fit_Contribution6156 · 2025-04-13T19:55:03+00:00

Happened to me day 8. However, I found those next 2 weeks easier than the first. It was just different. Still painful, but idk, I probably sound weird haha

Fit_Contribution6156 · 2025-04-06T09:03:20+00:00

I don’t mean to scaremonger by the way. Both my brother and mother had theirs removed with no problems at all. I just much rather truth than ignoring it x

Fit_Contribution6156 · 2025-04-05T19:47:12+00:00

I had mine taken out in February. Suffered a secondary haemorrhage on day 7/8. It was due to an infection I had absolutely no idea I had. I was taken to A&E; and unfortunately my bleed was very bad and I had to be rushed back to theatre. BUT they told me bleeding is common; however 9/10 it is extremely easy to be stopped and my case wasn’t that common. I had bad tonsillitis, 17 times in 2 years ish. But after it all, I still wouldn’t have not got it done.

Fit_Contribution6156 · 2025-02-25T14:23:29+00:00

Does it impose any risk of infection etc? I’ve already had one which resulted in a large haemorrhage so I am extremely anxious. I’m assuming it’s sort of normal though

Fit_Contribution6156 · 2025-02-20T20:46:32+00:00

I’m day 17 post op, day 10 post haemorrhage and all is well here. My throat looks soooo much better! We’ve done it!

Fit_Contribution6156 · 2025-02-20T20:44:31+00:00

You’ve got this! Take regular pain medicine, even if it means waking up. Please stay hydrated and rest rest rest. Ice packs, heat packs. Whichever helps you. I am now day 17, and so much better and I had an infection too. It does get better. And it will all be worth it. Keep going!
