I have a kitten but our daughter is allergic to her. Do you think keeping a pet in the garage is ok or should i find a home for her? What a shame, sorry to here of your dilemma! It doesn't sound like a very nice life for the kitten, if it were a grown up cat then it would be ok with it's bed and food in a garage -with a heater and access to the garden, as adult cats appreciate their independence! However, kittens are vulnerable and need to live in a home with lots of love. I think it might be best to find her a nice home =)
