(A) It shall be the duty of any person owning, or having in his possession, any cat which develops any symptoms of rabies to immediately notify the county health officer of the condition, to immediately confine the cat securely in a manner that there will be no opportunity for it to come in contact with any other animals, and to keep the cat so confined and segregated until the person is notified by the health officer that it can be again set at liberty, or until some other disposition is made of the cat by the health officer.
(B) The animal control officer or any police officer of the city shall have power within his discretion to take up and confine or euthanize any cat running at large which he may have reason to believe is rabid or badly maimed.
