Is it safe for my 4-month kitten to stay with dogs if unvaccinated?

Hi, Just wondering if my kitten who is 4 months, would be alright to stay with a family who has two dogs. My kitten has not had all of its vaccinations though, would this be a problem?? It also isn't desexed.

There are veyr few conditions other than intestinal worms which are easily transmitted between dogs and cats but it can be very stressful for both dogs and cats to be mixed depending on the nature of their characters. I recommend a trial visit before you proceed with making plans!
