The enteritis virus is quite stable in the external environment and can persist for quite a long time. So what matters is not the time that has passed since the virus was registered, but the thorough disinfection of the premises and all objects with which the sick animal came into contact.

And it is very important that the puppy you plan to adopt is fully vaccinated.

But with age, there is a danger of the undescended testis degenerating into a neoplasm (tumor), so your veterinarian absolutely correctly recommended castration for your cat. This simple operation will help avoid similar complications in the future.
