You can get rabies from cats. There are also several types of intestinal parasites that you can pick up from them (roundworms, whipworms, hookworms, tapeworms). These have nothing to do with vaccinations but it's a good idea to take a stool sample to the vet so they can test for worms. You may want to have it wormed anyway as a precaution.

I think, in most places, it's required by law to have all cats and dogs vaccinated for rabies. So, at the very least, your cat has to have a rabies shot. And make sure you keep proof on hand that it's been vaccinated. Too many people just throw that stuff away. Rabeese cat scratch fever ring worms sure some others also. Rabies and all kinds of cooties.. you can get cat vaccinations from almost any feed store for cheap if you can't afford a vet bill. good luck I grew up on a farm and we had kittens and cats around almost all the time. I never got any diseases from them. It is safer and healthier for the cats to make sure they get their shots though. Rabies is the only thing that humans can catch if the cat has not be vaccinated.

Other things not affiliated with vaccination: fungi (such as ring worm), roundworms, tapeworms (rare), fleas, toxoplasmosis.

This, of course is assuming that the cat is infected with any of the above.

Best prevention is to wash your hands (silly as that sounds) and have the cat thoroughly examined by your vet. Ringworm is fairly common and quite nasty. Very difficult to get rid of.

Rabies in cats in almost unheard of. You can call the local animal control or humane society to find out the animals in your area that are vectors for rabies. Of course if your cats stay inside, especially at night, they will not be encountering raccoons, skunks and bats. Bats are the only vectors in my area.
