Is it safe to move my kitten's night sleeping area due to allergies?

Question

Hi there! I just brought home a 12 week old kitten and she has adjusted well in just 1 week. She currently sleeps in our bed with us. Due to some mild allergies, we are thinking of sectioning off a space for her in the entrance and hallway at night for her to sleep in. Our apartment doesn’t have any doors and our living room and bedroom is one room (studio apartment). She would have access to the room during the day up until bed time. Is this ok to do? Or would it cause any trauma/issues? Pet's info: Cat | Selkirk Rex Longhair | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 28 days old | 3 lbs

At such a young age she should adapt very well to such a situation in a few days. I would use a covered box (possibly with hot water bottle depending on where you are) to help her snuggle up and settle and ensure she has easy access to food, water and litter tray in her resting area - I would feed her here at mealtimes to build a positive association. Plenty of active play throughout the evening can help to promote sleep also
