I would say the risk would be very low. That does not mean the cat might not be infected, just not symptomatic for your description. Your county health department can tell you if there have been any cases of rabies in your area and offer suggestions.
Usually, an infected animal has a very hard time swallowing, reason for the excess saliva, they nearly can't eat or drink.
A cat showing symptoms may seem docile, uncoordinated or dunk in appearance. the problemis close enough, they will try to bite about anything in an aggressive manner.
Now the post exposure shots will be needed inside of 48 hours, they are not very cheap, bu really moot and save your life if you have been exposed to the virus. This most happens from bites but can also be from getting saliva into mucous membranes like eyes and nose. A young boy recently died in Florida after being scratched by a bat, that is the report, but I believe the scratch would more likely the result of teeth passing saliva into the skin. If you are genuinely concerned, go quickly to your health provider and get the shots, the reason the boy died was little concern over a scratch and the boys fear of shots. Because I have worked with bats in the past, I have had my pre exposure shots. Never been bitten or even encountered a sick bat. To capture and test an animal for rabies it means fatality for the animal, because risks are low, I would take the shots and a healthy animal gets to live and released after quarantine. Of course a positive outcome, the animal is destroyed humanely.
Best bet here,, call your county health office and follow their suggestions.
