Cat shot with crossbow bolt in 'sickening' attack
‘It’s a miracle that no serious damage was done,’ says RSPCA
A cat was shot by a crossbow in “sickening” attack, the RSPCA said.
The black male, nicknamed Robin by staff who cared for him, was found by a passer-by in the Leicestershire village of Glenfield with an arrow sticking out of his shoulder.
The wounded animal was immediately taken to a vet, who managed to surgically remove the large bolt before contacting the welfare charity.
“This cat had a very lucky escape – it’s a miracle that no serious damage was done. He’d clearly been shot at deliberately with a crossbow and the bolt was lodged in his shoulder and protruding out past his cheek," said RSPCA inspector Karl Marston.
“He needed surgery to remove the large arrow and continued treatment to nurse him back to health but he’s now doing really well.”
