RABIES ALERT!

A rabid cat was roaming outdoors in Katonah earlier this week. It died on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, and tested positive for rabies

The cat was an average sized, white tabby, indoor-outdoor cat.  If you, a family member, or your pet, may have had any contact with this cat, IMMEDIATELY, call the Westchester County Department of Health at (914) 813-5000.

Anyone bitten by a rabid animal or having had contact with its saliva may need to receive post-exposure rabies treatment. When administered early enough, before symptoms develop, the treatment is 100% effective. Once symptoms occur, in humans or animals, the disease is fatal.

To protect yourself from rabies, NEVER feed, handle, or approach wild or stray animals.
