Kitten had Parvo, tested negative. When can I introduce to my cat?

Question

Hello! We just got a kitten from the shelter that had Parvo. Tested negative on 9/16. How long before we can introduce her and our adult cat (2 years old) without risk of him getting it? Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 3 lbs

Hi there and thanks for posting. The typical test for Parvo in cats tests for the virus itself, so if the test was negative a month ago, then Wendy should be okay to reintroduce to the other adult in the household. However, there are a few different type of tests for parvo in cats, so I would recommend you check the shelter you got Wendy from to confirm. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
