The vaccination of cats and dogs against the disease of rabies is important for several reasons. It minimizes the chance of a pet transmitting rabies to people. It also protects the pet from getting the disease from exposure to wild animals.

The Canton City Board of Health has passed a resolution (resolution 6/97) that requires all cats in the City of Canton to be properly vaccinated for rabies. This resolution amended chapter 221.11 of the Canton City Health Code, Rabies Control Standards. It became effective on March 1, 1998, and applies only to the residents of the City of Canton.

Complete copies of this resolution are available on request. If you have any questions or need further information about the vaccination of cats against rabies, please call the Canton City Health Department at 489-3327. Requests can also be made by e-mail. Send your questions to info@cantonhealth.org.
