Bringing home a new pet is typically an exciting experience. New owners are often eager to welcome their new family member, but it’s important to avoid skipping crucial steps in the development of your furry companion.
Good ethical breeders usually release their kittens to new homes between 12 and 16 weeks of age, depending on the generation ( savannah cats), the stage of life of each kitten, and the weaning process.
Some kittens may need to be held a bit longer if they have had difficulty weaning, take longer to adjust, or are not showing 100% reliable litter box habits.
We love our kittens to leave us strong, confident, and healthy. It can be deceiving to learn that you have to postpone the pick-up date of your new, cherishable fur companion, but trusting your breeder’s instinct is the best thing to do.
This little baby will be your companion for the next decade and more. Waiting a few more days or weeks to get the perfect baby is the right choice.
