At home should be fine for delivery, although it might not hurt to know where the closest vet and emergency clinic are, in the very unlikely event that there are problems. I did see a breech birth and the mama needed help.
Also, switch the mother to a high quality kitten food for the duration of pregnancy and lactation.
She can probably handle the other cats, but have a comfortable place ready where you can isolate her with her kittens in case the other adults give her trouble.
Also, a lot of people adopt kittens and later abandon them, or even adopt kittens and are cruel to them. So, in case you weren't entirely joking, try to get to know anyone who may adopt one of the kittens. There are many nice people, but also some scary ones, in this area of the net.
Watching young kittens grow up is wonderful. Enjoy!

It's OK to deliver in your home. Mature cats usually never harm kittens at least until those kittens has 3 month and older. As long kittens don't bother those elders.
Actually I have 6 cats. 3 of them are kittens with a months old. So far my older cats comfortable with kittens. Just feed them enough.

She should be fed canned and dry chow it really is made for kittens. This has a larger protein and fat content, which she will be able to choose for a healthful being pregnant and healthful kittens. If she does no longer receive sufficient nutrition, her body will rob itself to furnish what the fetuses choose, and she or he will be able to be in undesirable situation even as giving beginning. proceed feeding her this nutrients until eventually the kittens are weaned. It takes nutrients to make nutrients, or maybe as she is nursing she will be able to choose the more effective energy to furnish milk. I provide pregnant cats all they prefer to eat. They get canned nutrients 3 circumstances an afternoon, and there is dry chow out each and every of the time. With the present disaster over tainted nutrients, you need to experience more effective comfortable with a vet formula, notwithstanding to my understanding, there have been no comments in the breeding community over Purina professional Plan Kitten, Iams Kitten or the Royal Canin Kitten formula.

You should be fine. Just make a place for her that is kind of away from the others, AND people who may come over. Don't worry...the mommy cat will protect her babies. We have 4 cats...all boys

Cats are pretty independent so having her give birth at home will be fine as long as the other cats leave her alone. I've had female cats give birth plenty of times and they've always came and got me when it was time. Just make sure she is comfortable where ever she decides to have them ( usually in a secluded area in your home) and please make sure the other cats are not around to annoy her.

Provide a clean, warm space for her to have her kittens, and let nature take it's course.
And have her fixed afterwards. Seriously. Bob Barker was right.

She'll be fine. Just make sure she has a safe, warm, dark spot to have her babies.

Be a RESPONSIBLE pet owner and get them fixed by 6 months old.
Will they hurt the babies. PROBABLY not.
