TIFU by letting myself get scratched by an ill cat who minutes prior had been vomiting white foam...

I've been feeding this black cat for several months now. She's cool and I've developed a lot of affection for her, but she's the type of cat that begs to be pet only to turn around and bite you. I respect that, so I just feed her because I love animals, but I don't get too cuddly with her; sometimes we hang out or play, but I never let my guard down. I call her the neighborhood cat. She has no collar and none of the neighbors know where she came from.

I'm going on a 2 week trip soon, so I asked my next door neighbor to start feeding the cat today, so she's used to it by the time I'm gone. About 30' ago my neighbor knocked on my door to tell me that the cat was at her house, puking white foam. So, my SO and I rush there and notice the white foam and that the cat has diarrhea all over her tail and decide to clean her up and take her to the vet tomorrow. This is already kind of sad, I feel bad about the cat -wondering if she's in pain-, I feel bad about leaving now that she's sick, I feel bad for the neighbor now having to watch a sick cat, and I feel bad about the vet bill that is going to be coming my way, I have NO money for these kinds of things at this point. And this is where I fucked up big time. I pick her up to take her to my house to clean her up and she freaks out; before I can drop her back on the floor she scratches me. She pierced my skin, from my wrist to the middle of my arm. Now I'm going to have to go to the doctor too; I don't want to take any chances with rabies and bacterial infections. And I leave for my trip in less than 48 hours. Fuck.

TLDR: I put myself in a situation where I might get rabies from the neighborhood cat. I'm too broke to go to the dr. and take the cat to the vet. Also, I'm supposed to leave on vacation the day after tomorrow.

**Edit**: I was just told by a friend doctor that I can't get rabies from a scratch, only from bites. Nice.

**Edit 2**: Thank you all for your concern, I really appreciate the support. I was freaking out, [the wound](http://i.imgur.com/xriTe.jpg) was all gnarly at first and I panicked a bit. The good news is that once I calmed down and looked at her file from the SPCA (we took her there when we first started feeding her to make sure she was fixed) I verified that she got her rabies vaccine. So I only have risk of infection to worry about and I can handle that. Thanks again for all the good advice!!
