Oh no, i hope he's going to be ok.

Just heard from the vet - he's definitely been shot the vet has found the pellet but can't remove it as it's too deeply embedded. God I'm hoping he's going to be ok. I'm furious though - who does that!!

Thanks grace85

Sending loads of get well vibes to kitty. And loads of bad vibes to whoever shot him ?. Hope you have good news soon ?

I'd be going mental if anyone done that to my babies, I'd hunt them down and shoot them in their a**e see how they like it!!

Grrrr people make me so angry.

Have they said if he'll be able to live with it if they can't remove it?

He's out of surgery, the pellet went through his intestine and grazed his bladder, the vet has stitched him all up and is just hoping he doesn't get peritinitus (sp) now, my mum is in quite a state bless her, these kittens are like babies to her. I really hope he's ok, they're going to visit him tonight to see how he's doing. It's times like these I wished I lived a bit closer to my parents.

My parents went around to the lovely old ladies who live next door to them and they confirmed that their neighbours (next door but one to my parents) have air rifles, the 2 boys and the dad shoot targets in the garden frequently. We believe this man (the dad) might also have a criminal record as my dad has seen him being taken away by the police in hand-cuffs, we're hoping there is enough information to get them charged.

Thanks for your replies. I will keep you updated.

Aww the poor wee mite, keeping everything Xd for it.... and yes grass the neighbours up to the cops...did the vet keep the pellet?

The vet couldn't get the pellet out unfortunately, it's going to stay in his leg, bless him.

Thanks for all your replies.
The kitten is doing well, he's had some tea and is doing ok. The next 24-48 hrs are critical to make sure he hasn't got peritonitis but if he gets through that he should be ok.

Apparently the police didn't seem very interested but are visiting my parents tomorrow evening to take a statement.

Will keep you updated. Thanks for your kind words.

Oh rah, what a horrible thing to happen, some people really are disgusting individuals, sending big healing vibes for the kitty, please let us know how he gets on next couple of days x

Hi guys,

He's doing ok today, had a good night, but didn't want to eat his special poorly cat breakfast, think he fancied what his brother was having. Back to the vet this afternoon and then fingers crossed he'll be out of immediate danger of infection. Will keep you updated. ?

Poor kitten! I hope he is doing even better today. If he's after someone elses food he sounds like he's heading back to normal kitty-ness!

What an awful person you must be to do that to a kitten ? Tell us where he lives and I will fire up the A Team van and we can all head round and shoot HIM with a few air rifles. Grr.

Oh I really hope the poor thing gets better soon. I personally cannot stomach cruelty to animals, it makes me physically sick and distressed, I don't understand how some people can be so inhuman...

Wish your kitten will be fine!

Thanks for all your messages, kitten is on the mend and doing much better. He's having his stitches out on Monday but should be all better soon.

It's awful that it happened though ☹️

Its blindingly obvious the neighbours are responsible - has anything come of it??? I think they should pay the vets bill but thats my opinion. My OH has a gun licence and goes recreational shooting but god help anyone or anything that threatens or harms our furball......
