I also agree with this because the health of your resident cats should be considered first. It's not like the foster's will have to live in the room forever either because hopefully they'll all be able to find great loving forever homes.

Before I adopted Cirrus, he had been in a few foster homes but since he didn't get readopted very quickly, he was then sent to a vet's office to live in one of their kennel cages in the back. I felt so bad for him. It was like he was in kitty jail. This is why I believe that a separate room would be much better than a cage or other terrible alternatives.
