How much time does it take
The initial days of a cat at home usually turn out to be quite stressful on the side of the cat as well as the human family that only wishes to receive it with warm love and willingness to play. It is very likely that it will feel extremely frightened and will not be willing to go out of the bed.
However, in case the kitten is not willing to come out, we shall not force it out; we shall leave it its space during the initial few days. The reverse is true, when the house is silent, there is high probability of the small children taking the chance to play in all places in the house.

It is really essential to mention that the mother do not have to be separated with her kittens unless it is unavoidable since kittens need the milk of their mother to absorb colostrum (carries immunoglobulins to protect kitten) and motherly love that only mother can give. Don t forget that you can prepare emergency formula yet this is not a permanent solution.
Afterwards, we will start putting dry food in water (or in broth, without salt or onion) and when the kittens will not have any or minor difficulties eating, it will be possible to pass on to full dry food. We should advise that you should always consult your vet regarding this process after which he/she will prescribe the fitting kitten food. Lastly, we will point out that the ideal age to adopt a cat is during the 3 month period when it is fully weaned, vaccinated and does not need to learn how to groom itself or go to the litter box and acquire the knowledge of the cat language among others, which its mother usually demonstrates to it.
