Yes, please get vaccinated given that it was abandoned, unvaccinated yet. To safeguard you, getting vaccinated is a recommended step.

It is better to take anti rabies vaccinations since the kitten is from the street. We have no history of his parents, too. You can reach out to your physician for vaccinations and TT.
