Despite false claims by opponents of Trap Neuter Return (TNR); there is a very low incidence of rabies in cats. Of 154 rabies cases in Wisconsin from 2005-2009, 149 were in bats, two in dogs and three in skunks.
A single rabies vaccine, given when a community cat is trapped and sterilized, provides years of protection. Trap, neuter return programs protect community cats from the minimal risk of contracting rabies and prevent these cats from spreading the disease.
