Please read the Press Release from Amador County Public Health
There was a feral kitten that tested positive for Rabies in the unincorporated area of Pioneer. The kitten had come into contact with a skunk. 
This is a reminder that rabies in wildlife continue to pose a risk to pets and people.
If exposed to potentially rabid wildlife, pets should get a booster rabies shot within 48 hours. Indoor animals should also receive rabies vaccinations, as bats can be discovered by pets in the home.
