Can I adopt a kitten treated for Parvo if my cat is vaccinated?

Question

I’m interested in adopting a kitten that was treated for Parvo. But I don’t want to risk infecting my current cat at home. Is it safe to adopt? My cat was adopted in February and should have received proper vaccinations. What other precautions can I take? Is it not worth the risk? Thanks!

As long as you are sure your cat was vaccinated the risks are very minor, vaccinated cats very very rarely contract the disease. i would still recommend keeping them apart until the new cat is completely recovered.
