Domestic dogs and cats are
the common animals suspected
of carrying rabies, and Mrs. Inn-
man said cats may be more like-
ly to contract the disease
because they often hunt small
wild animals.
* Skunks, racoons, and bats are
other common carriers,

domestic, may contract the
disease if exposed.
Baytown city ordinances re-
quire all domestic animals be
vaccinated for rabies once a
year, but this law is almost im-
possible to enforce, said Mrs. In-
nman. She said many of the peo-
ple who are leaving their pets at
the shelter have done so because
they don't have money to have
all their pets vaccinated.
Any animal redeemed from
the shelter must be vaccinated
within three to five days. When
an animal is adopted, its new
owner mustalso sign a pledge to
