My 8-week-old kitten is unvaccinated. Can I take it to another house?

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered

We've bought an 8 week old kitten on Monday, he hasn't been to the vets yet which we are planning on doing this weekend. My younger brother has taken it to my cousins house, is that okay to do? I heard you are not allowed to take a kitten outside until it's a bit older.

Hello. If there are no other cats at the other home, especially unvaccinated ones, then there is no danger. However, keep the kitten indoors & do not let it run around outdoors. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
