Hi my cat had kittens two and a half weeks ago and I was wondering when they will need weaning onto solid food? If anyone can help I would be very grateful. Thank you :)

AT 3 weeks you can begin to offer a little softened food. The mom will wean them when the time is right.

Please consider spaying her... our world has too many cats/kittens in need of homes.

Thanks do I just use normal kitten food I was going to put it down for them and let mum sort them out. I will not be spaying her I work closely with a local cats home myself and foster many till they find homes. She had 4 and all have got good homes waiting for them. Thanks for the quick respaonce

The last kittens I fostered... I just used water moistened kitten chow.
In youtr post you said you would not be spaying her, why would you not spay her , surely the cat home that you are working with is like the ones in my area, over filled. MY friend is currently fostering 4 cats in addition to her 4. She has had 2 for over a year, 1 for about 6 months and one for 2 months... the groups that I have worked with that is the first thing they do is spay and neuter.

Thanks for the help I put some kitten food out soaked in water last night and 2 of them have started to nibble.
