Okay so the cat could not have contracted rabies if it was vaccinated and therefore you could not have gotten from the cat.

Therefore, there is ZERO chance you contracted it.

Please don’t click “bad” or “poor” service as this leaves negative feedback for me. If you aren’t 100% satisfied, click “continue conversation” instead.
