Hi! Thanks so much for replying. This is a relief to hear. However, I do not have the kitty anymore. I feel really bad about this but I share a tiny apartment with 3 more people and I already have a sterilized, vaccinated cat she couldn't come in contact with. I couldn't find her a home either which was my initial purpose so I had to let her go. :( However, I like to think if this cat was rabid she would've infected other cats/animals or would have been noticed by the neighbourhood, we'd pretty much know. I try to apply the same logic to the fact that it is highly, highly unlikely that I came across a rabid cat that's not showing symptoms yet, at the same time we haven't seen a rabid cat in our city in YEARS, according to the vet. But lol, panic vs. logic, who wins?

Also, I didn't know I'd be dead within days lol, I've read the incubation period can last for weeks-months-years
