Kittens need their mothers until they are 8 weeks old. Some believe kittens should be with their mothers until they are 12 weeks old. Kittens may not leave until they are a minimum of 12 wks of age. Stress can make a kitten more suseptible to illness.
Kittens are eating solid food by a young age. They gain emotional stability staying with mom until an older age. Studies have also shown kittens weaned and removed from their mother at an early age have more health issues and a shorter life span.

i think 6 to 8 weeks. if the mother doesnt have enough milk to feed the kittens, she sends them away into the wild.
