Do cats carry rabies?
Cats pose a very low risk for contracting rabies and spreading rabies, as they are not natural carriers for the disease. In Indiana, the last known case of rabies in a cat was in 1984. If a cat does become infected with rabies, it is only able to transmit the disease during the final stages of the disease, when the symptoms of the disease are usually apparent and which typically lasts no more than 10-14 days.
