I was bit by a stray cat

Question

Asked for Male, 25 Years

I was bit by a stray cat yesterday(5th July). I consulted a doctor within 24hrs and he advised me to take two shots of rabipur on day 0 and 3. I had already taken 5 doses of rabipur in the month February-March because I was bit by another cat then. My question is, am I safe from catching rabies after all the shots? I did not take Human rabies immunoglobulin (HRIG).
