With a small stretch, I say a

yawn

My prefix is a rotation.

yaw - the rotation of an aircraft or vessel about its vertical axis.

My suffix is a stiff bristle.

awn - the bristle of a grass (credit earlier answers).

My infix is holding a kitten.

aw - that's a cute kittie :)

Maybe you are

COUNTERDRAWN

because

(prefix) counter-rotation is a kind of rotation

(suffix) awn is a bristle

(infix) dr might be a veterinarian

Not really finding a better candidate infix than that, alas.
