If a pregnant cat has rabies will its kittens have rabies if they are taken away from the mother at birth?
This is not certain. It depends on when the mother cat got rabies. If it is still in its early stages, the kittens may not catch it, but eventually the organism that causes rabies will migrate through the placenta and infect the kittens. The organism will, I believe, be passed in mother's milk, so if the kittens nurse, they most likely will become infected.
