Of course they do. When all this happened, they were actually due that month for their shots again. Last shot was 3 years ago from that point.

Oh yeah. My babies were all taken care of. They were great. Squeezed us in and packaged up the bat for me and everything.

Updated- Let me add that my cats have always been vaccinated with the rabies shot. I should have added in the original comment that they were due that month for their shot again, after 3 years from their last vaccine. We ended up bringing them in earlier because I was worried. I know the importance of having them vaccinated for their own health and any human that comes in contact with them.

I'm in upstate NY. Over the summer, a bat had flown into my screened in porch. Both my cats had ran into the porch before we realized a bat was inside. My cats were not going to come inside once they spotted the bat. We couldn't do anything about it because it was flying around like you see on TV, all crazy and erratic. My cats ended up killing the bat. I was so worried I took my cats to the vet. I mailed the dead bat the bat to the health department where they would test to see if it carried rabies. Luckily, the bat didn't have rabies, so my babies were safe.
