It is best to bring the cat and her kittens inside the house to protect her from temperature extremes and other animals. Newborn kittens can't regulate their body temperature and they need to be in a warm room (75 degrees, ideally) without drafts. A box that you cut a hole in lined with blankets or old towels will make a comfortable nursing nest for the mother cat and her babies. The box should be placed in a dark or dimly lit room that doesn't get lots of foot traffic - a closet would be good as long as the mother has access to a litter box and food and water. The kittens should be left alone with their mother for the first week, as they need to nurse almost round the clock. The kittens shouldn't be handled at all in the first week or the mother may get too stressed from having her nest disturbed.

It depends. Kittens usually need to stay warm and healthy until they start to grow into an adult. However, if the mother takes good care of the kittens and has a father to help take care of them, they could grow up outside.
