Hi, I would not let her have kittens so soon, as this could put her health at risk. Having kittens put a big strain on the body, and it is not advisable to let them have kittens at every season they have. Actually she should be neutered so that she does not have any more pregnancies, there are a lot of stray cats already in the world ! Hope this gives you something to think about and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach !
