How cold is too cold for a kitten living outside? Will she get sick?

Question

Dear Doctor, It has gotten really cold this days here with rains and poor Holly had to stay in the shower room all day long which is a small humid warm room outside of the house. It is quite dry there in some parts. She is not allowed in the house. It is 9 celsius outside. Is it very cold for the kitten and could she become ill? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female

That is quite cold for a kitten if they aren't used to it. I would recommend that you make a cozy nesting box so she has a place to stay dry and warm. Cold alone shouldn't cause illness, but it can result in lethargy and anorexia.
