How old does a kitten need to be before it goes up for adoption?

A friend of ours has a litter of kittens to give away and we weren’t sure how long to wait. They were born around New Years.

Kitten Adoption…..What do you think?

So I found two cats outside a while ago. They were both pregnant and had kittens within days of each other. A grand total of 9 kittens. I researched "adoptions" quite a bit. I finally posted an ad on craigslist and got tons of responses. I requested .00 per kitten and that the new owners sign "contracts’ (printed from planned pethood) that basically said if for any reason at anytime they decide they can no longer keep/want the kittens then they bring them back to me. No questions asked. I have only allowed people that I felt REALLY good about to take my kittens. Once I met them and decided if they were a good fit I waived the adoption fee. (I just put the .00 to see if they would be willing to pay for them.) But I did require that they fill out forms and keep in touch. (Which some of them have, I am giving it about 2 weeks before I call around to check up on them). The mama’s are now fixed and going to my grandfather so no B.S. about how awful I am. Do you think I did well with the adoption process? I truley did my best to make sure they went to kind, loving homes.
yes for those of you that ask. The question was posted twice. It showed up deleted on this one (glitch I guess) and I reposted it. Thanks for telling me how awful I am. Considering I did more for the kittens then many other people would. At least I didn’t leave them on the street or "free to good home".
Dutch Girl: I was surprised too! I thought people would skip right over me but they didn’t. The people were very nice. I didn’t give them to anyone that even gave me a hint of weird vibe.

What did you do with your kitten in the first day of adoption?

I’ll be getting 2 kittens (3-4 months).
They are direct siblings. One is calico and the other is tabby. The female takes care of the male like a responsible older sister.

When you got your kittens home from the shelter, what did you do with them?
What things did you make sure were prepared?
If they are "house trained" do I still need to go through the procedure of "getting them used to the cat litter within a small space?"

Obadiah the cutest Persian kitten in the world! :)

This is another short clip of Obie, age 4 1/2 weeks. He is turning into the sweetest kitten. He has a pretty little face, and a sweet heart to match. Obie is still a little camera shy. But you have to understand, the camera is clunky, black, and mighty bigger than him so you can imagine why he is a little weary. :) www.lovcatpersians.com http

How do you know when a kitten is ready for adoption?

I have 6 kittens. They where dumped on me by a neighbor. So I don’t know their age. They eat, use the cat litter box on their own. But they are still nursing. A freind of mine brought over a freind of his who wants a cat.
I told let me keep them for 2 more weeks, then they will be ready. Or should I wait
Longer by a week? I have had kittens before but, it been over 10 years. So I don’t know.
I want to keep them, but I can’t aford to.
I can take care of the kitten’s & the mother for now it just can’t keep them I have 5 other cats. Plus I take care of several stay cats along with my next door neghbor.Thats what I ment by I can’t afford to keep them. I have a vet that runs a free adoption program, if I can’t find a home for them on my own.

Where can I find a cheap Himalayan kitten in/around Central Jersey?

Trying to surprise my mother for Christmas…very last-minute decision. Most kittens I’ve found have been between 0 and 0, since Himalayans are very high-quality cats.

I live in Oceanport, NJ…any ideas?
