I lurk here now and then, but I thought I'd fill you all in on recent news in the Philadelphia area that is scary for cat lovers/rescuers.

A woman who found a kitten was bitten last week and it turned out it had rabies. They found the mother and both cats were put down. Still a third cat bit another women near the same area and it was rabid. This was all in the past 2 weeks. They think there is a racoon family around that infected the cats.

Just a warning to be careful. I found my cat #4 as a lost kitten 4 years ago and never thought about rabies.
