you could always use fans or buy tiles for them to lay on. those are ways i know to keep rabbits cool, but they'd probably work for kittens just as well.

I would be more concerned about the kittens getting too cold if you're using frozen water bottles. Normal body temperature for cats is 101-102F, considerably warmer than humans, so they tolerate heat better than cold.

What is the temperature in the room where the kittens are located? I keep my house at about 85F in the summer because I don't like A/C. At that temperature my cats still look for any sunny spots they can find to lay in.

Does it need to be a permanent move, to the upstairs? Since lower floors are almost always cooler than upstairs, could you just move them back downstairs when the temperatures become too hot outside (and in)?
