A: Hello!
Thank you for your question. We would not recommend this for newborn kittens. They are not able to move themselves on and off the pad in case they get too warm. Cats have an average temperature of 99.5-102.5 degrees. We would recommend a pad that you can regulate the temperature. http://www.homedepot.com/p/K-H-Pet-Products-Lectro-Kennel-Deluxe-Small-Gray-Heated-Dog-Pad-1009/205043402
Thank you again for your question!
