Rabid Kitten Spurs Omaha Rabies Containment Effort
A 5 week old kitten in Omaha named Stanley contracted rabies from a raccoon strain, prompting a large-scale response. Wildlife biologists trapped and vaccinated raccoons within a five mile radius and deployed 18 000 oral vaccine packets as officials monitor for spread. The CDC and USDA estimate potential spread but have yet to find positive cases among more than 250 tested animals, with results expected by February.
