A similar incident happened to me about two years ago. Cats caught a bat around mid-late August, proudly brought it in and dropped it by me. Still kicking, the bat took off and flew into a ceiling fan. I called animal control, they were out in about 30min to pick it up. Called the vet, cats were up to date on their vax, recommended boosters, explained that a 45 day quarantine was required. Animal control got back in touch about 48 hours later with the results - negative. I didn’t need to pay anything. I’m also in the Mountain West, and although I’ve never encountered a rabid animal, apparently rabid skunks, bats, and raccoons aren’t uncommon around here. Animal control responds to these incidents pretty quickly.
