How important is 7 weeks with mom?

I'm about to adopt two new kittens. I know they will be with me for the next 18 plus years. I had two cats that I adored who lived that long. When they came to us (one through local shelter and one at our doorstep) I didn't know anything about choosing cats. This time around I've been doing alot of reading. I just read a statement that says to have the greatest chance of getting well adjusted cats, be sure they stayed with their mother and siblings for at least 7 weeks.

It seems like the great majority of kittens available have been fostered or are in shelters. Most likely they did not stay with their mother for 7 weeks. (I will check of course, but what I see online doesn't indicate that.)

Do you think I'll have a difficult time finding kittens that fit this category? I am looking for grey or calico sibling tabbies.

Thanks much
Ginny
