Hi,

Just wash the area well with soap and water. You can wait till morning, but we have to start rabies vaccine in the morning as the cat is not vaccinated and there is scratches.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
