WHY?

Felines are social animals and typically live in colonies.

Kittens need interaction with other kittens for healthy social development.

Isolating a kitten can delay development emotionally.

Kittens learn to play and behavioral boundaries from other kittens.

While humans are great, they can't provide the same kind of feedback and play that another kitten provides.

Kittens who are able to remain with one of their littermates or similarly aged companion tend to be healthier, happier, and better socialized.

Two cats are actually EASIER to care for than on.

SINGLE KITTENS ARE THE #1 MOST RETURNED ANIMAL AT SANCTUARIES AND SHELTERS NATIONWIDE.
