no wont have rabies but you need to go to hospital and have i think it would be a tetanus injection,stops any infection and cats have a massive amount of infections in there mouths.

Stray cats can have rabies just like any other stray/wild animal. I suggest catching the cat if you can and have it tested. If not, your mother-in-law should see a doctor and get a shot just in case. Better safe than sorry when it comes to health! Good luck!
