Hi Cherri,
The paperwork will tell the story: how old she was when she had a rabies vaccine, whether or not she had two, etc. If you don't have it, the clinic that gave them will.
If quarantine proves her to be normal in behavior after 10 days (which I'd highly suspect) all's well. Odds are she's just acting like a feral cat, freaked out by confinement and handling that was beyond her boundaries.
And saliva of a truly rabid animal usually has to meet broken skin to infect someone. But I highly doubt this cat has rabies, given the history. Not impossible, just highly unlikely.
Please let us know, will you Cherri? At the end of 10 days of observation, it should be clear to all involved.
