Yes this will be ok. Cats mamas tend to share their litters if its in the family. You may want to start looking for homes already, before they are born. the mamas can be spayed about three weeks after having kittens and will continue to feed their babies. Please leave the kittens with their mothers until they are about 10 to 12 weeks old as they will be taught everything they need to know (using the litter box, what to eat and what not, what is dangerous and what not, etc) and the kittens, even when they are weaned, will still run to mommy for comfort when they are upset. Book your appointment now for having them spayed.
