It is nice that you are going to give the little kitten a home!! BUT, PLEASE reconsider NOT declawing Ebony! It is a very painful operation!!! And kittens can easily be taught the joys of the scratching posts(declawed cats like them, too). There is no need to keep Ebony OUTSIDE just because she has claws and Simba does not. Years ago, we adopted cats that were already declawed, and then in came Ralph. A 10 week old kitten with claws. Never, had a problem!!! Please bring Ebony inside NOW!!!
