I inquired about a female cat from the SPCA who is currently living in a foster home. I asked (via email) about any health or behavioral problems, and the email said that she had a cold (now gone) and she had a tapeworm and they gave her one dose last week to cure it. They said "one pill totally cures that problem".
Should I be concerned if I do end up adopting her that she will still have the tapeworm? She was found wandering around outside (which is probably how she got it) and they don't know much about her. If I were to adopt her, it wouldn't be for another few weeks as she needs to be spayed on August 4th.
What is your advice? Should I take her to the vet right way BEFORE adopting her if I'm really interested? She would be a total indoor cat if she were with me, and the only cat in the house.
Thank you!
