Sorry, I'm going to bug you anyway. Taking on an orphan kitten is fine, but you really should specify that you won't take a kitten away from it's mother unless it is 10 weeks or older.Removing a kitten from its mother at such a young age is not only cruel, it's just plain irresponsible - it deprives the kitten of the socialization it would get from its mother and littermates that would make it a better pet - kittens learn bite and claw inhibition from their mother and littermates, as well as learning litterbox behavior from their mother. Orphan kittens and kittens removed from the home too soon frequently develop behavior problems because they didn't get that important socialization, and sometimes end up in shelters or euthanized because of those problems.Adopt an orphan if you want a tiny kitten - PLEASE don't try to take one from its mother at that age!
