Though the cats are adorable and sweet as kittens, they can pose dangers if raised in a home, the animal rescue organization said."They are adorable and sweet as kittens, yet as they age, and the way they are treated or raised, can kill families pets, and severely injur small children. They simply are not pets and majority do not use the litter box. Most states require county permits or federal permit to own one, Valey of the Kings said.
