- A cat can get rabies from any animal with rabies, either by being bitten or saliva. even eating an animal that has rabies. WARNING: IF you have come into contact with any animal that has rabies even before it was showing "signs" please please please go to your doctor and let them know so you don't die or transmit it to anyone else. Most warmblooded mammals that are not vaccinated, including cats, bats, skunks and ferrets, can contract rabies. Like dogs, cats should be vaccinated regularly according to local laws.

∙ 15y agoThe best place to go for a rabies shot is to a vet. There are some travelling "Pet Med" groups that give rabies shots, but you need to be sure that they are run by an actual doctor before you take your cat to one. Cats don't really do well in the kind of big crowd those things have, and there are always lots of dogs, so I always take my cats to their regular doctor. I trust the vet that we know.

When can a rabies cat infect you. i heard it was only a couple of days. would it be obvious if the cat had it. and also can it be detected with an eye test?
Rabies is transmitted through the salvia. If a cat has rabies, he can infect you with it. If a person is bitten or scratched by a cat with rabies, they have the possibility of getting rabies. An animal with rabies can show several symptoms. It can be disoriented, dumb looking, vicious, tired, foaming at the mouth, and/or unable to swallow. The only way to check for rabies is to send the head of the animal off for brain biopsy. For humans there is no test. If you are bitten or scratched by a rabies animal, go get rabies shots immediately.
Is your cat going to be okay he has not had his rabies shot and you think he has rabies?

Do it gets a risk of rabies of a cat scratch?
It is unlikely. Rabies is caught by the transfer of bodily fluids, and if an infected cat bites you, you may get rabies from his saliva. In order to catch rabies from a cat scratch, the cat must have bodily fluids on his claws, which is unlikely unless his feet are bleeding for some reason. If a cat gets into a fight with a rabid cat, and then scratches you when you try to separate them, it is possible that the rabid cat's blood can get into the scratch.

rabies
Can a cat get and infect to people rabies if they have a rabies shotAsk us anything?
If a cat has a rabies shot after it has already become infected with rabies, the shot will be ineffective and the cat can infect people despite having been vaccinated. If the cat receives its rabies shot while it is healthy, and if the shot is effective (which it is nearly all the time), then the cat cannot catch rabies and cannot infect a human. However, a very small number of rabies shots (about one in 100,000) is not effective. Note that the rabies vaccine can lose effectiveness if it is mishandled. In almost all cases, if the original shot is ineffective, the booster shot corrects it.
