It is not unusual in the wild for a female to "throw" her older kittens out of the nest, so to speak.  This may be what you are witnessing.  However, in time, should she come into season, she would probably accept his advances.

Normally, it is wise to keep whole females and whole males separated unless you want them to breed.
