🦇 Bats & Cats: What You Need to Know About Rabies Risk 🐾

Washington’s bats may be small and helpful, but they can also carry rabies—a deadly virus that can be transmitted to pets, even indoor-only cats.

❗Even a bat flying into your home through a chimney, crack, or catio can put your pet at risk. And because bat bites can go unnoticed, any suspected contact should be taken seriously.

👉 If a bat gets into your home:
✅ Do NOT release or dispose of it
✅ Contact your Local Health Jurisdiction immediately
✅ Call your vet ASAP even if your cat is vaccinated

Most emergency vet clinics do not carry rabies vaccines, so it’s best to schedule with your primary vet right away.
