Question: Wobbly Kitten

I took in two stray females a couple of months back. One went on to
have 3 kittens (the other one not pregnant, whew!). The little ones
are now 3.5 weeks old and one of them is a wobbly kitten. I think
there is also some vision impairment. The vet says the prospects are
poor but I know that wobbly cats can live a long time.

Coordination wise, this kitten is very poor. And the vision problem as
well.

My question is: at what age can I make a reasonable assessment of this
guys capabilities? I don't want to put it down just yet because I want
to see if I can find a home for it.

Thanks.

I notice that there have been no responses to your question about the wobbly
kitten. (Mine doesn't count because I could only comment on vision
impairment.) I suggest that you post a message on
rec.pets.cats.health+behav. That's a very active group.
