From Pets Place.....Gifts of kittens or even puppies for the holidays. Please read.

There is nothing cuter than a holiday kitten. I've seen several kittens given as gifts over the years and there is nothing cuter than seeing an adorable kitten with a big ribbon around his neck.

But are kittens good gifts?

The answer is... they can be good gifts if you know what you are doing.

This can be a big issue for humane societies and shelters after the holidays when people end up with a kitten they cannot care for. I've personally seen several holiday kittens given as gifts that were later given away because they weren't wanted or got returned to a shelter. I don't want this to happen to you (or to the kitten).

So today I want to share with you a few things that you need to consider when giving a kitten as a holiday pet.

There are many things to think about when you give a cat or kitten. First, you need to make sure it is wanted. After all, this is a gift that will need to taken care of for the next 15 to 18 years!  Don't make a spur of the moment decision.
