Normal body temperature is around 101.5F, but can vary a few tenths either way.
Keep the kitten out of drafts and extremely hot temperatures, but a nice sunny room is a great cozy place for a kitten or cat. An air temp of 75 to 80 degrees should be fine for kittens 6 weeks and older... watch for drafts, though.

Small kittens (like 4 weeks or younger) have trouble maintaining body heat and need ambient temperatures in the 80s to stay warm. Usually the microenvironment of the 'nest' and huddling will keep them warm enough, but in colder weather you may want to provide an extra blanket or even a gentle heating pad.
Older kittens do well in temperatures about 70-75 F but are still vulnerable to drafts and chilling (as after a bath, for example).
All cats seek warmth, up to a point, and may tolerate what seems like uncomfortable warmth to us; my folks used to have cats that happily sat on steam radiators and one that liked to sit on the stove right over the pilot light. That's in the winter; in summer they're almost as heat averse as people, but will still sit in the sun if it's not too nasty out.

ok, each and every thing sounded "everyday" until eventually at last you mentioned her tummy is somewhat bloated. The animal shelter could not at all have accompanied her out had she been ill. Are you giving her milk? Kittens as quickly as weaned dont decide on milk, the two cat or cows milk. it must be that the bloated tummy is her being lactose intollerant? in case you dont provide her milk, then please take her to a vet, she looks in misery. verify that she is ingesting proper kitten nutrition (grownup cat nutrition isn't proper)< which you provide her an excellent sort of water and you in addition to can provide her dry kitten nutrition (circulate cat with calcium)> verify she is going to the rest room, that she is pooping, because it must be she is constipated, if she is, then attempt to offer her some heat water to drink.

My cat loves warm weather. It'll be 100 degrees outside and she'll go outside in my very hot screened-in porch instead of the cooler air-conditioned living room. So I'd go for someplace warm. But one way to find out for sure is to let your cat choose. Set up two rooms with very different temperatures and see which one your cat goes to. That'll be the temperature to keep your cat in.

Dont worry, the cat will find somewhere warm if he gets too cold. My cat found the oven one time while i was baking cookies. Luckily he was just laying by it and not in it. He also likes the fridge. Picky cat. Any ways, dont worry too much.
