Stray cat has coronavirus. Safe to introduce to indoor cats?

Question

I'm wanting to introduce a stray cat I've been feeding to my two indoor cat household, I've had her tested and she has low amounts of coronavirus antibodies in her bloodstream is it safe to do so ? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 8 lbs

Coronavirus is not a concern wth adult cats, but FIV/FeLV is. I would make sure she is tested for those diseases and is tested for parasites (internal and external) prior to introducing them. If all that checks out, and she is deemed healthy by a vet, then there is little chance of her giving anything to your indoor cats. I hope that helps and all is well with Little chick and the other two.
