Unless you have the cat, Rabies shots for sure! It's nothing to mess around with. It's pretty much 100% lethal once it gets a foothold and preventable with shots. A no brainer.

DO NOT SHOOT IT IN THE HEAD! The lab need the intact brain for the test. Likely it NO rabid, just a whizzed off semi feral Cat, however don't wait too long to get the post exposure shots. This is a serious situation.

Shots are not as bad as they used to be either. Not a big deal pain wise. Dollar wise, it depends on insurance.

Don't confuse feral cat with farm cat. Many farmers have farm cats. A feral cat can be dealt with in certain ways, a farmers cat needs to be treated differently. I hope boy gets the shots to ease the mind, prayers sent.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Per Yahoo news: A man in Utah just died from Rabies, first in 70 years.

Cats are just plain nasty the ones here fight and the scratches get infected and several died from the infection this summer at least get him a tetanus shot!
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

The cats I release are very cooperative. Just saying. I understand and so are mine.

Any time you have an encounter with a cat when the skin in broken or you are bleeding, get it treated right away EVEN if is your house cat. I had a friend and his house cat bit him and drew blood, 12 hours he was in the hospital and was one sick cookie. This is no BS.
