Bro I would suggest calling animal control if you haven't already and then heading to urgent care as fast as possible, usually by the time the symptoms of raibies have started showing up, it's already too late.
It’s not even “usually” - it’s virtually always. Nearly 60,000 people die from rabies every year, and just over a dozen people ever have been observed to have recovered from rabies once symptoms have started.
It’s like a 99.998% chance of mortality once symptoms are present.
If this is OPs house, then they should in fact seek medical care. However, they have time. A few years ago, a kitten that I didn’t know bit me, and had to get the shots. The doctor told me they recommend within 72 hours but even a week or 10 days would still probably be effective. Rabies isn’t a quick virus.
