As of October 22, 2026, the Quebec government reported the third case of raccoon rabies in an infected cat in the province, continuing a worrying trend of the disease's spread. The first and second cases were confirmed earlier this year, raising concerns among public health officials. While no specific locations for these infections have been disclosed, the incidents are contributing to heightened awareness and preventive measures across Quebec, particularly in urban areas like Montreal. Raccoons are considered a primary carrier of rabies in the region, posing risks to both wildlife and domestic animals. Public health authorities advise residents to avoid contact with raccoons and report any suspected cases immediately.
