[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our cat's rabies vax expired (vets office dropped the ball so now we have a new vet) and we didn't realize until he got attacked by a raccoon during the day. Trust me, we were just as freaked out. Vet gave him a rabies shot but per MoCo policy we had to sign something saying he would be kept "in a locked cage" "in a locked room" for I think 90 days. Vet said the immunity from his many years of rabies shots should be enough and he wasn't worried but he had to follow county policy and report it. Said he couldn't force us to do anything but theoretically the county could follow up. We separated our cat from the rest of the house for a week I think to make sure we didn't see any rabid signs then let him out in the house but did respect the quarantine period of 90? days before letting him outside again.  The county never followed up, I thought there would at least be a fine or we'd get something in the mail.

Good luck! [/quote]

Ask your vet is he is going to report you.  I was taking care of an unvaccinated feral cat that got an injury of unknown origin.  The vet was obligated to report it an[size=24]d Animal Control did come to my house every month (unannounced) for six months. [/size] They also checked with the vet to make sure the cat got a second (in six months) rabies shot.[/quote]

Wow great use of tax payer money for a thrown away cat[/quote]
