State officials say a feral kitten found in Gettysburg has tested positive for rabies.
The state urges anyone who came in contact with feral cats in the area around North Washington Street in Gettysburg to call county or state health officials.
The Pennsylvania Department of Health says merely touching or handling a potentially rabid animal doesn't constitute exposure to rabies. But anyone who was bitten or scratched should seek medical attention immediately.
