A bat has tested positive for rabies on Martha's Vineyard.
The dead bat was brought into a Tisbury home by the resident's cat in mid-July and tests determined the bat had rabies.
The cat that brought in the bat and two other cats in the home were quarantined for 45-days and they are all doing fine.
The resident took precautionary doses of the rabies vaccine.
This is the first time a rabid bat has been confirmed on the island since 2019.
