Kittens must be handled with great care as they are very fragile. Because their tiny bones are still delicate and easily damaged, never squeeze them. One should also never pick a kitten up by the scruff of the neck by anyone other than their mothers. The correct method to pick a kitten up who is old enough to leave its mother is to slide one hand underneath its middle and support it with the other hand on the neck or shoulders. You can then transfer the underneath hand so that the kitten is sitting on it. If the kitten struggles to get away, be sure to always lower it to within an easy jump to the floor so she doesn’t injure herself.
