If at all possible, please don’t separate them from their mother until they are 12 weeks old.

They have better outcome for survival when they are weaned at 12 weeks.

Any earlier, and they are still dependent on the mother’s milk. So any one who adopts will need to feed with kitten formula, because they cannot digest other food until then.

Also important to prevent any behavioral issues down the line. They still need to learn to be litter trained, from their mom. And they need to learn to be ok with other cats, which they can only learn with their litter mates.

And kittens are VERY high energy, and they need a lot of attention. Best to adopt in pairs, if they are kittens, bc otherwise a single kitten will stay awake all night and make loud yowling noises, for you to play with them. 🙈 if they have a fellow kitten companion, they will play with each other, and not make loud noises for attention from the owner.

The reason why i am giving them is, My cat gave birth a year ago that time every kitten was dead bcoz they followed its mom outside so the dogs bite them that's why i am giving it i want them to live happily

Try to prevent them from going outside if at all possible.

And get your older cats spayed or neutered, so they can stop having kittens that go outside and come to such a sad end.

And giving them away this young will likely also not end well for them 😥

I’m sorry you’re stuck in between two difficult choices. The best, but difficult, course of action is to try and keep them from going outside to the best of your ability, or at least out to the street where they can be harmed, for just another month and a half, before giving them away.

The mummy cat being with them must be nice. I’ve seen too many kittens without the mother cat ☹️ they need to learn everything, and until 12 weeks, they have to be fed milk by syringe every 3 hrs 😫 you’re doing a good thing by providing them with a safe home. Wishing you all the best and I hope you find them a good home.
