At 8-12 weeks old, kittens are now completely weaned and ready to go to their forever homes. At this time, a kitten is receptive to forming an emotional bond with his new owner. To create an ideal environment for a new kitten, a pet owner should be ready to take on the responsibility of taking over a mother cat’s role that is, providing for the basic needs of the kitten including food, water, and a comfortable and secure environment.

In his new home, the kitten must have lots of opportunities to explore his new world and get used to new sights, sounds, and scents. These experiences play an important role in the kitten’s physical and mental development. However, make sure that these encounters are always under close supervision by the owner.
