I have the opportunity to adopt a 4 month old kitten that was previously adopted from it’s Mom at 12 weeks. Something has come up and it needs to be rehomed.
I have no doubt it has bonded with it’s new family and I am wondering how hard it will be on the kitten to get torn away from it’s Mom and first family and then adopted and loved and then torn away from that family and introduced to a new one (me)?
Is there anything I can do to make it easier?
Will being uprooted like this affect the kittens ability to form bonds?
My last kitten was strongly attached to me by that age and I was planning on adopting a 12 week old kitten, but I am hoping this could work.
What have other people experienced with adopting kittens that have already bonded with someone else?
