If a kit in shelter has worms and was treated today... would they be clear by Monday?

Not likely, he would most likely need a couple rounds of treatment as most kittens do. But did he have the worms in the first place or was he treated as a precaution? I wouldn't worry really. Just keep an eye out on your own cats if that is the concern. You should keep them separated at first anyways.

Most likely, no. Depends on what type of worm he had. Tapes? Hooks? Coccidia? Round? Whip?

Tapes is the only one I wouldn't worry too much about. It's only transmitted through fleas.

Good Luck!
