If I could have gotten my hands on the cat I would have picked it up. I have the space to keep her separate from mine until she could be vetted, some people do not. It is scary, the thought of bringing in disease, but I have been known to risk it with every foster. Some things can be tested for (FeLV/FIV), but others cannot (FIP), and to not help for fear of disease seems impossible for me.
