As Tammy Hedge deals with the aftermath of being attacked in her own backyard by a rabid cat, sheâs grateful it happened to her and not a more vulnerable resident of her Fredericksburg neighborhood.
âThere are a lot of young children and a lot of elderly people who could really, really have issues with something like this,â she said. âAt least I have the resources, the insurance, I have the big mouth and the connections to make a fuss about it.â
Hedge hadnât planned to become a ârabies ambassador,â but said she was forced into the role after she was bitten by a feral cat that had been hanging around her home since winter. She lives near Paulâs Bakery in the Hillcrest area, on Longstreet Avenue off Lafayette Boulevard.
