  1. They could have a lot of things.  Too many to list.  A few are FIV, Feline Leukemia, Feline Infectious Peritonitis (these are transmitable to your own cat).  They could also bring in fleas, ticks, upper respitatory disease, and many more to list. I would be careful if you can't afford it don't bring in another animal.  Call a humane society.


  2. Feline Leukemia and Feline HIV (could kill the cat.) .

    Toxoplasmosis (which can be deadly to a fetus if a woman is pregnant and comes in contact with.)

    Fleas, ticks, worms of all types.  

    The kitten will definitely have worms.  It is transferred to them in the mothers milk.  This will cause diarrhea.

    Feline infectious peritonitis (if cat has will die after a few weeks without treatment.)

    Distemper (very common in outdoor cats).  

    Rabies, and upper respiratory infections.

    To name a few.  It is safe to take a cat or kitten in but only if you can afford to get the cat treated for illness.


  3. Wild kittens can be exposed to all kinds of diseases that could be dangerous to you and your cat: rabies, feline aids, feline leukemia, feline distemper, mange, etc...  It would not be a good idea to sneak in an animal with out having it checked by a vet first - you could be exposing your cat to all kinds of things.  

  4. Here are some examples for you!

    1. Rabies

    2. Distemper

    3. Parvo

    4. Fleas

    5. Ticks

    6. Heartworms

    7. Bartonella

    8. Cat Flu

    9. Feline Leukemia

    10. Taxoplasmosis

    There are more than that but those are just some that I can think of. Yes some of those can be spread to you and even your cat.

    It's usually a good idea not to try and catch a feral kitten. But if you're going to don't put the kitten anywhere around your cat. Try to find someone that will help you out with the kitten seeing the vet. When the kitten is old enough have him or her neutered or spayed.

    Here is a website that you can look at!!!!!!!
