Cat in Snellville area tests positive for rabies after biting owner

Gwinnett County officials are urging residents in south Gwinnett County to exercise caution outdoors after a cat in the Snellville area tested positive for rabies. The cat was tested after biting its owner on September 7th. Officials advise residents to avoid animals exhibiting unusual behavior and emphasize the potential rabies threat from animals like foxes and raccoons, which can transmit the virus through bites or scratches. Pet owners are encouraged to ensure their pets are up-to-date on rabies vaccinations. The incident is one of several rabies cases reported in Gwinnett County this year. If bitten or scratched by an animal, residents should seek immediate treatment and report the incident to authorities.
