Yes. Un-neutered male cats should not be around newborn kittens as they could become aggressive. Neutered male cats can be allowed close to the kittens in a few weeks' time, but only under supervision.
The only adult cat allowed to be around newborn kittens should be the mother cat.
Newborn kittens should be left in the care of the mother cat with almost no interaction with other cats or, indeed, with humans.
Only intervene if the mother cat needs help looking after her kittens. After a few weeks, you can hold and socialize with the kittens more, and other cats may become inquisitive.

- Neutered males and other females should be allowed near kittens after they are a few weeks old. They will have a good sniff around their new furry friends. Always introduce kittens to other cats under careful supervision.
- Some cats may become jealous of the new arrivals, however, so make sure you give plenty of time and care to your other cats as well.
