I have apparently been blessed. I have two catteries who would let me adopt from them. Both 4 month old kittens. Is it unwise to get 2 kittens from different catteries at the same time? Health wise anyway? I have read posts here that indicating getting 2 kittens is good for them. I would like a second cat - but had not expected to have that opportunity so soon. Also, one is far away and would require a trip to another state. Thanks

I think it is a great idea to adopt 2 kittens together! By 4 months they should have their vaccines completed. If they aren't neutered yet and you get opposite genders, just know they can get pregnant very young so I would get them neutered quick.

I don't see any problem with adopting from two different catteries as long as you get them both at the same time. You more likely to have problems if one kitten is well established in the household before you bring in the second one.
