Warehouse Point just had a big wake up call on the importance of animal safety. A cat was captured after attacking a person this week, and it has since tested positive for rabies. If you were exposed to the cat, described as Light Gray Tiger, 5-7 pounds, you should seek medical attention as soon as you can.
This is a stern wake up call on the importance of maintaining your animals health. It is ever important to ensure your animals have all their vaccines, and are spayed/neutered. Controlling the population of feral animals is a big part of ensuring incidents like this are kept to a minimum.
For those that may have financial problems prohibiting them from getting their pets their vaccines, I urge you to stay vigiliant for clinics offered around the area at various times of the year. Many of the major pet stores offer both rabies and spay/neuter clinics, with prices that are low.

If you see an animal you think is acting oddly or has hurt someone, you should call 911 and report it immediately.
