Expert Answer

Generally, cats that go outdoors often and lack regular rabies vaccination are more likely to get rabies. Rabies has limited transmission; cats are usually infected by a bite from a rabid animal or by eating a rabid carcass.

Vaccinate the cat at 3 months and limit its outdoor contact with other animals to reduce risk.
