Kittens should be considered as a lifetime commitment. They are not small playthings to be discarded when they are fully grown.
Kittens are small living creatures that need to be loved and taken care of properly.
If cared for and treated properly, kittens will return the love they are given.
Kittens do not know right from wrong as humans do. They do not intentionally cause trouble or damage anything on purpose. Kittens are very energetic curious animals by nature. They will seek to discover and learn about everything they come into contact with. Watching them play and learn can be a great experience.
If a kitten misbehaves, it needs to be treated with patience and understanding. Remember that whatever happened was not done intentionally. Kittens need to be treated with a high level of tolerance. Rather than becoming upset when a kitten misbehaves, try to understand its playfulness and curiosity.
You must treat kittens with love, kindness, tenderness, patience and understanding. Kittens should never be abused in any form whatsoever.
A well cared for and loved kitten will provide years and years of joy.
This wonderful reminder was given to Valley Cats, Inc. by someone who has worked with abused cats. All of us agree that loving and humane treatment of animals ALWAYS results in a loving and social pet. Please treat your pet as a member of your family and don't throw him away when he isn't convenient any longer.
