Zakat On Selling Animals
If I have raised and fed some kittens that my cat has given birth to- how much zakat must be paid on it as a percentage? Is it 10%?

They don’t come under livestock, but FYI, following is the slab for Zakat on Livestock:
“(iii) Livestock:
(a) CAMELS
– From 5 to 24 (camels): one she-goat on every five camels
– From 25 to 35: one one-year old she-camel or in its absence, a two-year old camel
– From 36 to 45: one two-year old she-camel
– From 46 to 60: one three-year old she-camel
– From 61 to 75: one four-year old she-camel
– From 76 to 90: two two-year old she-camels
– From 91 to 120: two three-year old she-camels
– Over 120: one two-year old she-camel on every forty camels and one three-year old on every fifty camels
(b) COWS
– one one-year old calf on every thirty cows and one two-year old calf on every forty cows
(c) GOATS
– From 40 to 120: one she-goat
– From 121 to 200: two she-goats
– From 201 to 300: three she-goats
– Over 300: one she-goat on every hundred goats”.

I think I have misread your question, can you please elaborate further?
-
So my cat gave birth. I kept the kittens and fed them until 7 weeks old and sold them. How much % do I pay on the profit I made?
-
I think whatever profit you’ve made from that, it would still be below Nisab (whichever category of Zakat is applicable here).
If you start doing cat rearing and selling business, then it can become a source of production income for you for which you can calculate Zakat at 5% of your value addition (since both labour and principal investment are involved here) if it is above Nisab threshold. But other than that, it would be your wealth and you can include this amount in your year-end Zakat calculation of wealth.

Ok so it is above nisaab but it is a part of wealth so that makes sense. I mean this has happened two years in a row but it’s not a business per se. It just happens I guess so it’s not really a source of income
