Kitten Mill

A kitten mill is a commercial facility that breeds cats primarily for profit, often prioritizing quantity over animal welfare. These operations typically keep cats in cramped, unsanitary conditions with minimal regard for their health or social needs. The focus is on producing large numbers of kittens quickly, often at the expense of proper veterinary care and space. As a result, kittens from mills may have health problems and behavioral issues. Kitten mills are similar to puppy mills but involve cats, and they are widely criticized for their inhumane treatment and contribution to overpopulation.
