It's a warning for some areas of Pa....and a reminder for the rest of us to be wary of stray & wild animals...

PITTSBURGH — A stray cat recently brought to the Allegheny County Health Department tested positive for rabies, according to health officials.

The stray cat was reported on Hetherton Drive in Ross Township.

A total of 11 animals from Allegheny County have tested positive for rabies in 2020: five (5) raccoons, three (3) bats, two (2) cats, and one (1) groundhog.

Rabies is a virus transmitted by an animal bite or scratch. It is almost always fatal when exposures are left untreated. Any individual who is bitten, scratched or otherwise exposed to saliva from an animal should immediately cleanse the contact area with soap and water, seek emergency medical treatment and call ACHD (412-687-2243) to report the incident.

A neighbor said a skunk family walked out of our back yard between 4:30 a.m. and 6:15 a.m. He said nearly every day.

We've had a trail camera set but so far nothing.

Maybe one of the other neighbors got all of them.
