A south Alabama man is being treated after being bitten by a rabies-positive kitten.
The Alabama Department of Public Health confirmed a Greenville resident was bitten by a kitten found on their porch and presumed to be a part of a nearby feral cat group. The resident was caring for the abandoned approximately 8-week-old animal when they were bitten. The kitten later became ill and died.
The person who was bitten is under the care of a physician and ADPH is investigating the stray cat colony.“In a world of emerging infectious diseases, rabies is certainly not new, but it remains a threat to people and animals. Fortunately, there are very effective, accessible prevention methods in animals; unfortunately, sometimes it just comes down to compliance,” State Public Health Veterinarian Dr. Dee Jones said.
Alabama law requires dogs, cats and ferrets 12 weeks or age and older to have current rabies vaccinations. In addition to vaccinations, ADPH recommends:Do not leave uneaten pet food or scraps near your residence.Do not go near wildlife or domestic animals that are acting in a strange or unusual manner.Note to readers: if you purchase something through one of our affiliate links we may earn a commission.
