About two to three weeks ago a sweet little kitty came to our back yard. We have been feeding and caring for him, while trying to find his home without success. He is staying outside - the weather has been dry and warm - we have a large enclosed yard and patio - etc. He's a tabby likely about six months old. Very sweet and well behaved. Pretty obvious he has been around people and cared for.
We have two cats already - about one year old male and six year old female - inside only kitties. Thoughts of making the new kitty's adoption permanent and bringing him inside, but have some concerns of any disease or problems the new kitty could introduce to the two existing cats since we have no idea of his medical history or care to date.
Should we be concerned? We would take the new kitty to the vet for a good checkup and recommended/needed shots, etc. prior to introducing him to the household.
Thanks in advance for suggestions and comments.
