Ugh, I'm worried

Everyone remember my stray cat that I feed and take in when it is really cold out? I took him to Petco to get his shots yesterday, figuring I'd better at least get the rabies one to keep us all safe. I told the vet and the tech that he was a stray and wild so they needed to be careful. Long story short, they weren't careful enough and the vet got bit, hard! He bled a lot. I felt awful about it and asked what I should do but they said nothing. So I brought the cat home, keep him in for a few hours to make sure he was ok from the shots and then let him out because he was getting really restless to go out. We got a call tonight from someone from the vet that was giving the shots to find out if we had the cat in quarantine. We don't, they didn't tell us to do that. She said we should really have him in quarantine for 10 days. Mark talked to her and told her the cat was a stray that we took in and brought for shots and that the cat was currently outside. The woman was like Oh, you should really have him in quarantine. Mark told her we would do our best. But now I'm really worried, what if she calls the SPCA and has them investigate? I feed him and bring him in when it is cold, but he does live outside. What if that isn't good enough and they take him? Or put him to sleep because he bit the vet? I know living outside isn't the best life for him, but he really isn't adoptable. He trusts me to a point, but he is a wild cat. I'm really worried about this whole situation.
