It's not uncommon to see vomiting/diarrhea from a cat from a shelter. Pogba could have a mild G.I. infection was something like G.I. parasites or a bacteria. It also could be due to recent diet change. The sneezing could also indicate a mild upper respiratory tract infection. If any of those signs continue I recommend Pogba get looked at by a veterinarian to make sure nothing more serious is going on and that no medication as needed. However if Pogba stays bright and alert, is eating and drinking and the diarrhea resolves as well as the vomiting it should be OK to monitor him at home.
