Ally is certainly a cutie.
Personally, I wouldn't let her outside at all, unless she is in some sort of enclosure. That is where she will be exposed to many dangers, including fleas, from which she can get many diseases and parasites. And if she gets in the habit of going out, she will be very insistent about wanting to go out more.
I know it seems cruel, but the modern domestic cat just doesn't have a niche in the natural ecology, and she will lose out every time to the man-made ecology, including cruel people, aggressive dogs, and 4,000 lb cars.
