Ok, my FI and I walk to our humane society about once a week or so to bring in some donations and give some love to the adult cats that have been there for awhile. Since it's so nice today, we headed over there (even though we were just there on Friday) and in the parking lot next to our HS (which has a lot of open ground and woods around it), we saw a black/white small cat meowing. I sent my FI in to tell them there was a cat outside and I approached it to see if it was friendly. Well, I got about 5 feet away from her (just calling it a her b/c of her small size, it could be either) before she didn't want me to get any closer, so I crouched down and held my hand out. She immediately came up and started rubbing on me and head butting me. I was petting her and things were fine and FI came back and said the HS said it was probably feral and to leave it alone. At this point the cat was practically in my lap on the ground so I sent him back. Someone came out with a crate and asked me to grab her, when I did she exploded in screams and claws. I let go when it was clear she wasn't going to calm down and have tons of scratches on my arms. Since it all happened so fast, I'm not positive I wasn't bit. I don't want her to be put down so I told them I wasn't bit and only scratched. I don't have bite marks on me but I do have some pretty deep punctures that could easily be from claws or teeth. Is there anything I should watch out for in case she did bite me?
Sorry this is so long, I wanted to make sure b/c I'm going to go back tomorrow and try to feed her and trap her eventually. I figured I would just wait and go to the ER if I get a fever but I wanted some advice.
TIA
