Ask yourself some questions prior to the move. Can you close the new area off to keep the mother from moving the kittens? Will the area be able to hold a litter box for the mother so she can relieve herself? Is there a safe spot (well away from the litter box) to place her water and food bowls?  The chosen area also need to be quiet. This means away from the general hub-bub of the house, out of reasonable earshot of televisions, phones, and radios. It needs to be out of drafts and if the weather is chilly or the air conditioner on it needs to be at a reasonable temperature: between 75-80 degrees is ideal.  Closets in guest or seldom used bedrooms work well, as does a quiet corner of a laundry or mud room. Basements, as long as they are dry and warm, are also a good choice to relocate a kitten nest. A sturdy cardboard box as long and wide as the mother cat makes a great nest. Laundry baskets can also make a good nest provided the openings are less than an inch wide. If they are any bigger the kittens can potential slip through putting them in danger of injury or chilling. Place it in the quiet spot, then set up the cat’s litter box, food and water bowls. You want to make the spot inviting for the mother cat just as much as you want to make the nest safe and warm for the kittens.
