Default Rabies Shots

The cat hangs out at the gym that I go to. So, I am trying to be a
good citizen and protect the public from possibly getting a bite from
her and getting rabies. The person owning the gym puts food out for
her, so she does hang around a lot. We just thought it would SO much
easier to get a 3 year vaccination rather than an annual one. Not
even trying to be "legal" here!! Although, the owner of the gym could
possibly have some legal problems if the cat should bite
someone..................always something.

If you think a rabies shot is good for the cat - or good for helping to
keep disease from spreading - then I can see getting one for this cat.
Is rabies a problem in your area?

But I don't understand how the law would apply to you, since this is a
feral. Who would they cite for a violation? Legally speaking, she's not
your cat.
