Ideally a kitten should be at least 6 months old, but make sure the kitten has been living in the same home (not recently purchased or recently moved in) for at least 9 weeks. After 9 weeks a kitten should know it's surroundings and be able to recognise its home. A kitten should be kept indoors until it has had all its vaccinations and is spayed or neutered.
For the first few weeks, leave the door/cat flat open and make sure the kitten can make its way back in the house easily should it feel unsafe or scared at any point.
What else can I help you with?
How long do you keep a kitten indoors before allowing it out?
Do not let the kitten out until you are satisfied that he/she will be able to cope with the various dangers that the outdoors presents and that he/she will be able to find his/her way home (we were advised not to let our cats outdoors until they were at least six months old). Make sure the cat has had all its vaccinations, been neutered and been microchipped/is wearing a collar with an id tag. Try to introduce the cat to the outside slowly- accompany it around the garden as it explores and discourage it from leaving until it is used to it, call it back frequently and reward it with a small amount of food or a favourite treat. If you have a conservatory, you can accustom the cat to that first as an intermediate, where they can view the outside but be safely confined. We bring our cats in at night as they are less visible on the roads and therefore more likely to be injured in the dark, if you decide to do this it is a good idea to start from the first time you let them out and make it a routine- they should come in quite happily.

How old should chicks be before you let them outside They are already in their coop and there are 8 of them Should you put them in a run first?

What if the kittens lose their mother?
A mother cat will likely reject a kitten if A: It is painful for her to nurse (this is a health issue, and needs to be checked out) or B: The kitten is unhealthy (also, should receive vet care). The most likely, is that the kitten is unhealthy, and the mother can see that. She will very likely let an unhealthy kitten die, while she tends to the stronger ones. In this case, you need to worry about two things: Keeping the kitten fed, and making sure it receives the nutrients that its body requires, and making sure that the kitten does not freeze to death. Kittens do not generate enough body heat to sustain themselves. If the mother will still lay with the kitten/let it be close to her, she will supply the heat. If not, you need to keep the kitten warm. Also contact your vet about the best way to do this, and a good brand of kitten formula to give the kitten. A common misconception is that cats like milk. This is true, but it is -extremely- unhealthy for both your cat, and even more so for the young kitten. Do NOT give a kitten milk, give it kitten formula. You can find this at any feed store, and probably just about any pet store. You will need to feed the kitten every few hours (ask your vet how often, for how old the kitten is), and it may require a dedication that you or your family is unable to provide. If this is the case, try to find someone that can foster the kitten more effectively.

Should I cut the umbilical cord of a kitten?
No, you should not cut the umbilical cord of a kitten. It is best to let it detach naturally or seek veterinary assistance if needed.
Should you let your cat investigate the outdoors when it is just a kitten?
It is not ideal. Kittens are just far too small and fragile to be allowed outside for any period of time, especially if unsupervised. However, letting a kitten outside on a harness and leash is considered safe, as you are close to the kitten at all times and it prevents the kitten from running off and getting lost. It is ideal not to let a kitten out without supervision until its near adult size (10 - 12 months old), as a fully grown cat is usually big enough to be able to defend itself from other cats and wildlife.
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.
