Magic was found with an airgun pellet wound in her neck
|
Vets who removed an airgun pellet from the neck of a young cat in Somerset believe she was shot deliberately.
One-year-old Magic was found injured in Chatham Place, Curry Rival on Thursday 3 May.
The RSPCA said the nature and location of the wound suggested it could not have been the result of a stray pellet.
Her owner, who wants to remain nameless said: "Magic is a lovely friendly cat. I cannot believe that somebody would choose to carry out such a vile act."
RSPCA inspector Jo Daniel, who is investigating the incident, said: "Clearly someone in the area is mindlessly taking pot shots at animals and our concern now is that someone else's pet could also get injured or killed.
