It is obviously possible for them to pick it up again from another source but it certainly isn't something that you will have to worry about long-term. Some cats (a very small percentage) do become carriers but as long as the cat is healthy, given the correct nutrition and antibiotics should it become ill with any respiratory infections, I would expect them to be absolutely fine!

As mentioned above, it is so infectious, it could have come from the breeder or even from the vet at a check up - the incubation period is between 1 and 10 days so could show up incredibly quickly. The vet can do a throat swab test which gets sent off to a lab to confirm that your cat definately has this virus.
