My prefix is a rotation.
My suffix is a stiff bristle.
My infix is holding a kitten.
Ah, what's my name?

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.

Based on what @Rubio said:
I agree in the suffix being awn, can't really think of anything else, if you try to find words ending with awn that makes very hard to find any infix different to dr.
But
I can't really agree on counter so I'll try something different and say over. I'd like to say something like cos, sin, x, y but can't find anything with that.
So here's my shot:

Here's my shot
Prefix -
could be left or right ( or clock/anti)
Infix -
hand or lap
Suffix -
awn or seta
So here goes
Word -
Right/Left-hand-awn
Other groups can be made with different combinations.
