My kitten has Coccidia. Can he be around my healthy adult cats?

Question

My kitten came back positive for Coccidia. I cleaned my house and gave him a bath. I have also been cleaning litter box everytime he uses it. Can he be around my adult cAts? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 1.5 lbs

Coccidia is normally not a problem in healthy adult cats because their immune systems are much more developed and able to deal with it - so even if they are exposed, it would be very unusual for them to actually catch this illness from your kitten. As long as they are healthy otherwise, it should be fine for the kitten to be around them :)
