PURR People United For Rescue and Rehabilitation

Spring Time is KITTEN SEASON and here at PURR we are getting ready for the rush of babies that begin coming to us sometime in April. Please be patient if you are looking for a baby to take home, most that come in this month will need to stay with us for a couple of weeks to get their shots and health screening completed. Building a strong immune system in the cats is very important for their future health.

Being a great adopter means getting your home ready for new kittens. Proper bedding, multiple litter boxes sized for babies, the nutritional food reccommended by the adoption agency you will be bringing your kitten home from... and preparing your family for the new arrival. It is so important to teach your kids (all ages of kids) how to handle and care for kittens. They aren't toys, and definitely shouldn't be given to children as gifts. The kittens should be part of your family, and like all family members must receive the proper amount of social time and quiet time in order to grow and learn how to be part of the forever litter! Teach your kids proper handling of the baby kitten and never leave children under 10 unattended with the kittens. Make sure your kitten has a safe place to rest and be alone too.

Teach young children how to hold and play with kittens.  Never leave kids and kittens unattended!
