Lorraine,

I'm sorry to hear about Romeo. Unfortunately, shelter cats always have something wrong with them, be it URI, earmites, ringworm, fleas, worms, you name it!!

I'm glad you got him to the vet when you did. Coccidia is no laughing matter and can kill a kitten in a matter of days if it's not treated. If you have any other cats, it's best to keep him totally isolated till he gets better.

Prayers coming your way! Keep us posted.
