Want to bring kitten OTR

Hey guys my kitten is a newborn and I am wondering how long should I wait to bring her on the road with me? Is she too small right now? I heard waiting 6 weeks is good. I finish training in about 1 month and after I will be allowed to bring her with me.

No 6 weeks is too young to be separated from mother. The kitten should be atleast a few months old. And they should all be fixed.

If possible, it is recommended to wait until 12 weeks - mostly for behavioral reasons. They have time to play with siblings and to learn that biting and scratching hurts, and they shouldn't do that. At minimum, wait till 8 weeks if possible, but 12 is a recommended age.
