Hello there. I can understand your concern.
Usually if you are sure that the cat is not having rabies. Nothing to be worried about rabies.
Tetanus shot was a good thing and she can continue the medications as prescribed by the physician.
Clean the wound daily and do proper dressing.
Make regular follow up with the physician for upto a week or two till she gets better.
Best regards,
Dr. Anil kumar jain.
