Can a cat get and infect to people rabies if they have shotAsk us anything?

Cats can get and transmit rabies to people, even if they have been vaccinated. However, the risk of a cat transmitting rabies to a person is very low if the cat has been properly vaccinated and kept up-to-date on its vaccinations.

Rabies is a deadly viral disease that is spread through the saliva of infected animals. It can be transmitted to people through bites, scratches, or contact with saliva from an infected animal. Rabies is fatal if not treated promptly.

There is no cure for rabies, but it can be prevented by vaccination. The rabies vaccine is very effective and is recommended for all cats, even if they are indoor cats.

If you are bitten or scratched by a cat, it is important to wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water and seek medical attention immediately. If the cat is not up-to-date on its rabies vaccinations, you may need to receive rabies PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) to prevent the disease.
