Is it okay to leave 9-month-old kittens with a friend for a month?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed

I have two kittens around 9 months old. I will be travelling for a month. I am leaving the babies with a friend of mine who has experience keeping cats. I have left them with her before as well but that was only for the weekend. Will they be ok? I'm very anxious since it will be for almost 30-35 days this time and they are very attached to me and I to them.

I’m sure they will be fine. They have been there before, and they have each other. There will be a short adjustment period when you get them back home but they will probably enjoy their vacation. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for your kittens.
