Why Scottish Fold Kittens Stay with the Breeder Until 12–16 Weeks
If you're thinking about bringing home a Scottish Fold kitten, it’s important to know why responsible breeders—like PurrfectlyFold—wait until 12 to 16 weeks before letting kittens go to their new homes.
This extra time with their mother and littermates helps kittens grow up healthy, confident, and well-socialized. They build strong immune systems, learn proper behavior, and adjust better when they join their new families.
In this post, we’ll share why keeping Scottish Fold and Scottish Straight kittens with the breeder for 12 to 16 weeks gives them the best start in life—and why it's worth the wait for future cat owners.
