As exciting as summer festivities can be for us, for many pets, fireworks season is pure panic. The loud bangs, flashing lights, and unfamiliar vibrations can cause severe anxiety in both dogs and cats—and in some cases, even lead to pets going missing. If your pet struggles with fireworks anxiety...

‼️RABIES PSA‼️ Stray brown/ black kitten brought to Burlington County Animal Shelter on 5/29/25 from Maple Shade tested positive for rabies.

See recommendations from the BOH if you visited the shelter from 6/19 to 6/24 and information about rabies.

Thank you to BCAS for their diligence in making this observation, providing details on handling the situation and also for making this information quickly known, as well as to the Burlington County Board of Health Department!

UPDATE: The kitten in question was a stray that was found in Maple Shade and then brought to the Burlington County Animal Shelter.

Rabies cases have been discovered in several Burlington County towns, which is why it is imperative for all residents to make sure their pets' rabies vaccinations are up to date.

The Burlington County Animal Shelter typically holds a free rabies vaccine clinic every month. So check the shelter's website ( https://www.co.burlington.nj.us/168/Animal-Shelter) for more details.

The Burlington County Health Department announced a kitten that was housed at the Burlington County Animal Shelter has tested positive for rabies.

The kitten was brought to the shelter in Westampton on May 29th as a stray from Maple Shade and was quarantined as part of the shelter’s normal procedures. During the quarantine period, the cat showed no symptoms.

On June 19th, the kitten was cleared from quarantine and made available for adoption. It began showing symptoms on June 24 and was subsequently tested for rabies. The Burlington County Health Department was notified earlier today (June 26) that the test was positive for rabies.

Two Burlington County Animal Shelter employees received rabies vaccine boosters due to their exposure to the kitten. Both employees had previously been vaccinated per the shelter’s protocol that all employees be vaccinated as a preventive measure.

The Burlington County Health Department is investigating if there were any other exposures to the kitten. Anyone who visited the shelter between June 19th and June 24th and were bit, scratched or had contact with a brown and black colored kitten’s saliva is encouraged to seek medical guidance from their primary care doctor or another physician. They should also notify the Health Department at 609-265-5548.

Rabies is a fatal viral disease that affects the brain. The rabies vaccine lives in the saliva (spit) of infected animals and is spread from a bite or when saliva from an infected animal touches broken skin, open wounds, or the lining of the mouth, nose or eyes. Rabies in certain animals – especially wildlife – is common in New Jersey.

The disease typically remains dormant in animals for several weeks before symptoms develop. Health officials believe the kitten became infected before being brought to the animal shelter.

To guard against rabies, residents should make sure their pets are up to date with their rabies vaccines and keep a safe distance away from any stray animals or wildlife. Residents should contact their local animal control officer if they encounter stray animals or wildlife and not try to trap or handle animals themselves.

Anyone with questions or concerns can contact the Burlington County Health Department at 609-265-5548 or the Burlington County Animal Shelter at 609-265-5073.

Rise & Shine to Sweet Mummy's PURRs this time with her gorgeous green eyes rarely captured. Found on the street and brought to the shelter one Halloween, I picked Mummy up right out of her cage. Foster Mommy said she was a darling young girl, as did everyone who visited PURRsonal Space ROCKS, Inc. - South Jersey's Cat Lounge & Adoptions and met her. So easygoing, patient and exceptionally clean, takes so little to please Mummy other than love... her waiting 5 years is very sad, but, more so, I'm seeing signs Mummy really needs her own PURRson / family. It's beyond heartbreaking!Everyone played a part with us helping the shelter save her, now we really need assistance finding Mummy a loving home. With kitten season, no one is inquiring about adult cats for adoption.At 6.5 years of age, as affectionate, playful, smart, sweet and funny as ever, she just needs more love and more one-on-one attention living with multiple cats for so long and being so passive!If you can't adopt, please consider fostering so Mummy receives what she deserves. If you can't foster, kindly sponsor food or vet care for this young lady. We rarely ask but desperately need donations from our wish lists are on our site https://www.purrsonalspace.org and https://www.linktree.com/purrsonalspace Mummy is due at Haddon Vet for her annual wellness visit, extensive exam bloodwork, urine, possibly a dental. At PURRsonal Space we provide all veterinary needs we're aware of before our cats are adopted so they do not suffer waiting. We do not pass along the cost and stress to new families or start new beginnings off having you associated with fears or discomfort of visits, transport, medical care or healing. Your lives begin bonding happily with a healthy cat, filled with love and security! However, Mummy is great in her carrier, going for rides and she LOVES the vet. There's videos of her PURRing on the exam table waiting to see Dr. Anthony if you scroll ahead. She enjoyed butt scratches, hugs and kisses, too. All our lovies do fabulous at the vet! Ask us about Mummy... fill out an application, meet her! 🙏💟
