The fur itself won't cause asthma, but if your child is also allergic to cats, the allergic reaction could then bring on an asthma attack. I would say check with your doctor first and have some allergy medicine on hand if you do decide to take in one of the kittens.
I would also recommend calling the SPCA to round up the other kittens before they get sick or start breeding more unwanted cats. It is easier to find them homes when they are young.
Good Luck.
