if you have read any of my recent posts, then you know about Patches, and the others. the green goop in the eyes you mentioned worries me, that means there is probably infection.
be very careful about letting the kitten near Oliver! the kitten could have a virus of some kind.
when I got my Lucy, she was covered in fleas, I bathed her in the bathroom sink, and had to do it again the next day, then the fleas were gone. she was just 9 weeks old then, that was 20 years ago, I didn't know anything about cats then, but it worked out fine.
the kitten will need shots, and to be tested for disease/viruses.
glad to hear you have got another bike
good luck with the kitty, keep us updated
also-- you might want to ask how much the blood test costs, but don't let the vet assume it is just upper respiratoy, thats what they thought about Patches...long story!
as far as keeping the kitty, well you have cared for Oliver well haven't you? ask them to consider keeping the kitty separate from Oliver, and for a trial period, say a couple weeks, then after that long, if they think you are not caring for it then you give it to someone. maybe posters at school? ((of course, they will probably get attached to the sweet kitty in that time and then won't want to give it away))
