Adults who bring the children should be more responsible & kittens that should not be touched maybe should be in a room with a window so kids/people can look but not touch ...and only responsible people allowed in the room to care for them. Or don't have cats that shouldn't be touched out for the public.
There needs to be responsibility. Does the place have signage that says don't touch sleeping cats or something like that?
I think giving children a chance to pet animals is beneficial to their learning experience but there needs to be supervision.
They told us we can pet the kittens, but to pick them up carefully since they have been fixed recently. They should just be like, "don't pick them up, they're still healing from being fixed." They don't watch the patrons they have in the kitten room (theres a separate cat room, but I didn't go there as I didn't know about it til after I left.) I mentioned it in a review but they pretty much seemed to blow it off saying how they want kids to be able to interact with kittens and want the kittens to be used to kids, but that's bs. Small children and baby animals do not mix. You can't trust a young child with a full grown animal. Kids pull tails, slap them, and whatnot. If staff cannot watch interactions with the kittens, they should not allow small children inside. A small child may have been around a pet their whole short life, doesn't make them any better with animals.
