Chances of contagious diseases amongst cats?

I felt sorry for a stray cat, and bought it in for the past two nights to find it a home. I already have a cat, who is my baby, and I am worried about any diseases the other cat may be able to pass on to my cat. I was going to be getting her shots this week (for my cat), so she is not up to date on some of her vaccines yet. What are the chances of her catching something dangerous from a stray who appears to be healthy? I plan on calling the vet tomorrow and make her vaccine appointment tomorrow, but I am worried it might be too late. Do not tell me I am a bad owner, I planned on getting my cat her shots, and will do so still. I love my cat, and want to make sure I do everything I can to keep her safe. We did keep the cats seperated, but the other kitten cried all night. Also, anything they can pass each other by sharing food dishes/litter box/ living quarters or scratching? Sorry if I sound paranoid, just a worried “mom”.
The other cat is fairly young, not too young, but still small. My cat is actually older, 2 years old perhaps, but unknown since I got her as an adult cat. She was a shelter cat and I doubt she had her shots before since she was abandoned, thats why I am concerned. I am finally able to afford her shots, and have been planning on doing it for a few weeks now.
Also, they have been together now. My room mate accidently left the door open when he went to work, and they were together all afternoon without me knowing it, though the new cat seems to avoid my cat like the plague, my cat wants to smell her and play. The new cat hisses and growls and I would be afraid she could have attacked my cat earlier without me realizing it. Again, maybe I am just paranoid.
