New Siamese Kitten

Question
My boyfriend and I are are collecting our new kitten next Saturday (She will be aproximately 10 weeks old then). She`s a female Seal Point Siamese.  Both my boyfriend and I work during the day, should we keep her in an enclosed room until she gets used to her surroundings?

Thanks

Answer
If you have one litter pan and she is that young, I would keep her in one room until she learns where that and her food and water are. In general, she is really too young to leave her home for a pet home, but if you give a lot of love and attention, she should be fine. Make sure to continue her vaccinations, keep her indoors and spay her at about 4 months.

Good luck,
