What should I look for in a kitten?

When you're looking at a kitten, outwardly, you can look for any upper respiratory signs. As far as any problems or concerns, you can check the ears, check the fur to see if there are any bit black things that wouldn't be normal or good. And then you also want to look at behavior. Are they interactive? Are they curious? That's usually a good sign. Or are they petrified and nervous? Do they hiss and spit at you and are scared when you come towards them? Those would be good things to look for.

Ideally, you should get a kitten that is at least 8 weeks old because they are well-socialized at this age. When choosing a kitten, consider its temperament, health, cleanliness, and whether it has any issues such as fleas or odors. A healthy kitten will have clean eyes and appear well-groomed.

Look for a kitten that is socialized, one that comes out to greet you at the front of the kennel. They might not know how to play very gently, so don't worry if they try to nip and bite.
