It is always best with cats and kittens not to let them leave the house too soon. Usually 6-8 weeks indoors is enough to aclimatise a rehomed cat or newborn kitten to its home, after that it should be safe to let them out. Introduce new kittens to the outside world slowly and in small doses. They will instinctively want to explore everything straight away and might easily get lost before they know it! Go outside with them the first few times; let them see you nearby, just so they are reassured that it's safe. Take some treats with you incase the kitten wanders a bit too far or hides itself in a dark corner. For young cats (6+ months) it might be an idea to buy a cat harness for this purpose (although, be aware that cats are adept at slipping even the most secure harnesses!)

How do you stop your kitten from getting outside?
Don't let the kitten have access to a room with a door that leads to the outside. Make sure all the doors that lead to the outside are locked. Put her in a room where she has food, water, a bed, a litter tray and some toys so she won't be able to want to go outside.

When do kitten go outside?
Kittens, ideally, should be at least 10 or 11 months old to be able to go outside without supervision. This allows a kitten to be up-to-date on its vaccinations, spayed or neutered (and an additional six to nine weeks for hormones to calm down after neutering), and ultimately, at 10 months, a kitten has almost reached adulthood and is much less vulnerable against other cats, dogs or other wildlife it may encounter outside. A younger kitten is much more likely to get severely hurt or even killed in a fight with another cat. Before sending your kitten into the great outdoors, I would highly recommend to begin with supervised visits outside, possibly on a harness. This allows a kitten to get accustomed to the sights, smells and new environment of the household garden before venturing further into less well-known territory. Alternatively, you can cat-proof your garden by using climb-proof barriers on the fences, or building a cat run which would allow a kitten the freedom of being outdoors, but with added protection from other cats, wildlife, roads and people.

Why can't kittens go outside?
Kittens can go outside. If they are born outside, then they'll be perfectly used to it out there. Kittens like to roam around, explore and play with each other. Although, it is probably wise to keep a very young kitten inside the house or a barn because of the many dangers outdoors, and then you could help it adjust to being outside as it gets older.
Can you take kittens to a party?
NO YOU CAN'T TAKE A KITTEN TO A PARTY! The kitten will freak out and might run away or get hurt. DON'T TAKE A KITTEN TO A PARTY!!! Let your kitten stay at your house for a while, but the only other place a kitten should go is the vet. Cats don't like to go places. They're not dogs!
