Take the kitten to the vet first. Don't introduce it to your domestic cats until you have had it tested. Feline Leukemia is a spreadable virus. Communal food and water bowls will put your domestic in danger. I have just had a heart wrenching experience with this.I took in two feral kittens who weren't doing well.As it turned out they were both blind from birth but otherwise seemed healthy. The female died at one year old from what seemed to be a simple cold.Her brother died one month later also from a cold. If I had brought them into the house with my domestics I would have lost them all,at least that's what my vet has told me. Please be careful.
