Fosters graduate--and a retrospective.

11. If you have a separate room for the kittens,

That will be best. You want to make sure they don't have anything your cats can catch, and you want them to be big enough--at least six weeks old--to be around the adults. My cats have been fine with kittens. The female hisses a little but they mainly just watch the kittens racing around. The kittens have their own litter box far away from our cats' boxes, and no troubles with that part of things. And I always shut them up in their room when we go away and at bedtime. No sense asking for trouble, either between cats, or what the kittens might get themselves into when you aren't there.

The room could be as small as a bathroom. Anything is bigger than a cage at the shelter.
