PARKSVILLE, B.C. — A two-year-old tabby cat on Vancouver Island is recovering from a leg amputation after someone shot it with a pellet gun.
The BC SPCA says the male cat, named Onyx, was targeted recently near his home north of Nanaimo.
The SPCA’s Parksville branch manager Nadine Durante says one of the cat’s remaining legs is also broken.
Costs of the surgery and recuperation are estimated at about $1,800, and the society is appealing for assistance with the bills.
