Ouch!
A cat called Hope has miraculously survived being blasted by around 30 airgun pellets, during a wave of senseless shootings across the UK.
Hope’s owner found her bleeding and near to death and at first it was thought she’d been attacked by a dog because her body was ripped and torn.
But when she got to the vet hospital, X-rays showed that she had been peppered by around 30 shotgun pellets.
Vets’ staff managed to remove about 10 pellets but some were left in case worse damage was caused removing them.
Hope’s biggest injury: a fractured toe.
Police are looking for the shooter, but at this rate we think hope will be the one to seek revenge.
