For weeks an estranged cat had been terrorizing an residence complicated in Morgantown attacking small dogs and residents unprovoked.
One neighbor is presently receiving therapies from a chew she suffered final week and others have been afraid to depart their home following the incident.
“You know, I don’t feel safe with a cat running around biting people and them having to get rabies shots.”
5 News obtained a tip this afternoon pertaining to a supposedly rabid cat attacking neighbors and pets in a Morgantown residence complicated.
Just final week a neighbor was bit and scratched after getting too near this cat.
I spoke to the spouse of the sufferer who defined the traumatic occasion which brought about her to obtained a number of rabies pictures.
“Her cat had gone outside and they ended up fighting and they were separated and cassia came out to grab her cat. And when she went to go grab her cat, the grey cat came out from under the car and scratched and bit her. So she had to go to urgent care and start rabies shots.” Shauna Jones.
However this was simply considered one of many harmful incidents from this cat. Just as jerry was taking her canine for walk, the cat tried to attack her puppy.
Luckily, the canine was not injured.
“Today, it attacks a dog, small dog without being provoked or anything”
I reached out to the Mon well being division and so they had fielded a number of calls about this incident.
Telling me and the neighbors to securely try and seize the cat and convey it to the human society.
Although it isn’t clear whether or not or not the cat does have rabies, each Shauna and Jerry really feel a lot safer realizing the cat gained’t be capable to hurt anybody else.
“Tried to get someone out here to come pick it up. But they said since it’s been 10 days, since the incident it doesn’t have rabies, but there’s no proof of vaccination of a cat. So it’s better safe than sorry”
“What if that cat would have bite a kid? I mean, I don’t want them to go through the pain of those rabies shots.”
