Feral cat scratch my finger

Question

Asked for Female, 25 Years

I feed a feral cat daily. And today, it scratch my finger (not with intention of harming). I immediately washed my finger with soap and water. Don't have antiseptic ointment with me at the moment. Should I get tetanus and rabies injection tomorrow? Scratch isn't deep. Blood didn't ooze out. Just got pinkish. Feeling little pain just like cut through paper.
