yes you should give your cat a rabies shot as so as they are old enough for shots (usually 6 months to a year is when cats are old enough for shots) the sooner you get it done the safer your kitty -cat will be.

If your cat bites someone or gets bitten by a rabid animal and you don’t have a current Rabies certificate…

A cat can only be treated if it has a current rabies shot - you can give it a booster. If a cat’s rabies shot is out of date, you have two options. One is to quarantine it for six months. After this period, if it is alive, it does not have rabies. This may mean putting it up at the vet for that long - a costly proposition, but you can’t just keep a potentially rabid cat around because rabies would be fatal to you. The other is to put the cat to sleep. If the cat is infected with rabies, that is the only humane thing to do.

What should I do if my cat gets bitten by a wild animal?

If you can catch it or kill it without risking a bite, do so. They can test the wild animal and verify whether it had rabies or not. The vet will have to kill the wild animal to do so. Keep its head intact. If you are bitten or your cat is bitten, immediately wash any wound with soap and warm water thoroughly. Then go straight to an emergency room.

The purpose of the rabies vaccination is to help your pet fight off a rabies infection if he should be exposed to the virus. The vaccine is NOT a cure for rabies and pets vaccinated against rabies can still become infected with the virus. After initial vaccination, it takes about one month before the peak levels of rabies antibodies is reached and the pet is considered immunized for rabies.

Each state has its own laws governing the frequency of administration of the rabies vaccine, but all agree that the first vaccine should be given around 24-26 weeks of age. A booster injection one year later is necessary. After that, laws vary and some areas require annual rabies vaccination. Other areas allow vaccine every three years.
