I think carpet would be okay while you're looking for something else, but it might become difficult to maintain over the long run. It would hold the odor from their waste and become a breeding ground for mold, mildew, etc. Also, make sure the carpet doesn't have a strong resin smell. Carpet glue contains benzene, which is a known carcinogen.
