Farmington Tries To Trap Stray Cats After Woman Bitten Gets Rabies

FARMINGTON, N.H. (AP) — Police in Farmington, N.H., are setting up traps for stray cats after a cat that bit a woman several days ago tested positive for rabies.

Police are encouraging pet owners to keep their cats inside and to have easily identifiable owner information on their pets in case they are picked up during the search.

Authorities said six stray cats found in poor health have been euthanized and sent to the state lab for rabies testing.
