COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — At least 20 people who came in contact with a kitten that came down with rabies are being forced to get shots.

The kitten was a stray found in early February that was taken in by a Colorado Springs family.

Justine Jovel, her family and others who were not up-to-date on their vaccinations are getting shots to protect them from getting the deadly disease.

According to the Colorado Springs Gazette (http://tinyurl.com/qcgre6h), Jovel also was forced to euthanize the kitten, her two dogs and another pet cat that were not properly vaccinated.
