There are already too many kittens and cats without homes. You'll have your work cut out for you finding good homes for your litter, and your new mother could become pregnant again even before her kittens are weaned. Ask your vet how soon you can have her spayed, and absolutely do not let her outside until then. If you also have an unneutered male cat, keep them separated and run, don't walk, to the vet to get him neutered. Every year millions of perfectly fine but unwanted cats are euthanized. Many were adopted as kittens, only to be abandoned as adults, no longer so adorable and declared to be too much trouble or expense. And those that escape euthanasia and remain strays are malnourished and susceptible to contagious diseases, some of them fatal. Don't contribute to this tragic problem.
