Snowy is the sweetest cat, loves everyone and is never a bother except for cuddles. That's why it's all the more confusing that someone has shot her.
Over the weekend she came home with awful injuries to her head. Now it turns out that she was shot three times in the head and neck. The attack has left her with horrible injuries to her eye, as well as bullet fragments in her neck and ear, and some lead in her digestive system.
Somehow she managed to make it through a window and onto their bed with her injuries, she's a tough cookie!
The owners son has set up a givealittle page to help raise funds to help with her vet bills. If you want to read more check the link below.
Thanks for reading

EDIT: The goal has been reached! I've heard Snow cat has gone into surgery this morning and her mum is overwhelmed by the generosity of strangers and is incredibly grateful. Thank you to all of those who donated from the $3 to >$500. You are all incredible and every single donation has had a massive impact.

Absolute cunts.

Fuck that person

Son of a bitch die slowly and in pain who ever did this. Or get jailed for lifetime piece of shit
ImNotNermal
Doubly sad it happened here in NZ. Glad to contribute on behalf of my three kitties, Snoopy, Mimsy & Doof Doof

My cat also has two bullet fragments in him. With a good owner Snowy's gonna be fine.
mechanicalchaos
This is tragic and awful. Partially why I keep my kitty indoors. Cats are a common target for disturbed people all too often.
Reviire
Find the guy who shot her and anonymously break all his bones.
WrathOfKant
Unfortunately it's far too common for cats to get shot at for 'fun'. My bf has a three-legged cat who lost his leg because of such psychos.

WHO THE FUCK SHOOTS A CAT, KARMA PLEASE DO YOUR THING
Jerichocan
Rivalyn
What was done here was barbaric, but cats are not nice to other animals. Some of their victims are also beloved pets. Keep your cats inside.
MothMonsterMan
Agreed. I don't like the assumption that just because it is hurt that it wasn't doing something to warrant retaliation.
MothMonsterMan
Many farm towns/states have laws that allow you to shoot and kill cats/dogs/ect if they are attacking or even just harassing farm animals
alwaysupvotefuturama
Fucking assholes.

That poor baby. Has she been seen at the vet yet? What procedures do they recommend?
hollygoroughlly
Yeah she's been at the vet since. They need to remove her eye, help her pass the lead in her digestive system and they may or may not 1/2
hollygoroughlly
need to remove the bullet fragments from her neck and ear, but they wont know until the swelling goes down. Painkillers are helping a lot rn
BraveSlayer
Fucking people. FUUUUUUCK.
BraveSlayer
Cat's a fighter. I'm sure snowy will make it!

Rescued white GSD who went through SAME event. Came back amazingly strong. Now HATES/Fears men in baseball caps. Geist is my love. <3
brrpr
Because there are alot of fuckin' assholes out there and usually they dont get punished if they shot pets as long no human got hurt.
anjunaspeak23
I was told that animals were for human enjoyment. It took everything I had not to choke this person. Animals are companions, period!

When you resort to shooting a cat, you're the pussy.
FuckMeThenYou
It could have been a mistake depending on the area. Many places allow regulation of feral cats
DesignationR
Fuck man, animals are such innocent creatures that you have to be messed up in the head to do something so cruel
FuckMeThenYou
Depending on the area it could have been mistaken for another animal/feral cat
hollmonster13
I have a neighbor that feeds all the strays. It's irritating but I wouldn't shoot them.
Allthegunsintheworld
Cats tend to be taken out around farms as there is such a breeding problem with them. Also people drop their cats off all the time
WhiteGuy021
ILikeClipperShips
This is evil, no doubt. But what makes pet owners think it's okay to let an animal just wonder around outside? They are also to blame.
FanOfFanboys
Came to say this. Person who shot the cat is awful. Feel terrible for the cat. But they also shouldn't roam free
Ipoopwhenilaugh
Lots of animals get shot if they molest (or even get near) livestock. They're doing what they're programmed to, it's pet owner's negligence
FanOfFanboys
Good point
NextgenVALKYRIE
Worst part, it's probably some kid who thinks this is fucking hilarious. I'd trade 12 billion of you for that cat you little cunt
MegatronPewPew
Some people are just a scum plain and simple. Animals, especially domesticated ones, are gifts to all humanity. And we do this shit.
SirArtoriasTheAbysswalker
not saying do it in anyway, but you go to the shooters house and cut the air inlets on their tyres
youropinionmeansnothing
I'm still waking up I thought you said to cut air inlets INTO their eyes, still a +1.
SirArtoriasTheAbysswalker
hahah thats a little more extreme
Gloomylady
Where is this person who did this? I just wanna talk
repsac
Would you be so kind as to loop me into this "conversation"?
Gloomylady
Of course
pinqet
It still confuses me how can people do such horrible things, and even towards animals? I hope she gets better. Love for the family!
FuckMeThenYou
It depends on the area. Some places allow regulation of feral cats.
TheMalcontent
She looks like she's plotting her revenge, hopefully she gets it.
pleaseconsiderthatImightbejoking
"I am going to pee on sooo many pillows for this."
Pining4TheFjords
I really hope they identify the gun from the bullet fragments. Anyone that fucked up in the head will get caught with that gun eventually...
FuckMeThenYou
Sounds more like it is pellets from a shotgun
ThaiMaiShu
They're not gonna spend the money to do that on a cat, unfortunately. And even if they did, knowing what type of gun it was fired from 1/2
ThaiMaiShu
hardly would help, seeing as there are more than likely multiple guns in the area that have that caliber/type of round 2/2
DubhIainn
I'm expecting it to be a .22 or an air rifle, otherwise the wounds would be worse. This was most likely a stupid kid who was 'bored'.
IAmNotACatISwear
.22 can kill a cat. Def not a .22. I would suspect a pellet/bb gun.
IAmNotACatISwear
And others mention a shotgun, which makes sense from a distance.
brianwenner
people can be complete fuckers that need to be put down...
billyrayvalentine
A-fucking-greed! At the very least, receive the same treatment.
fistermatic5000
I'm appalled at how many people genuinely hate cats.
anjunaspeak23
I vote for castration. There's no need for them to breed children who do this. However, the problem may lie at home. Not genetics.
DahPrincess
For sure. Torturing animals is a sign of violent psychopathy, that will turn into human mistreatment. Either put em down or get them >
kste7
Probably not a psychopath, just a stupid "shoot first, ask questions later" jumpy cowboy. Psychopathy is incredibly rare.
DahPrincess
-serious treatment. How effective is therapy/medicine for helping psychopaths? I can't imagine it's easy, given their personality
MajArc0
Debatably it seems to work. All about giving constructive goals and shit they can use their skills in better.
Swaggynator387
That's why I started torturing people
DahPrincess
Yes hi, I'm a maniac. Do your torturings end in death or flat out total insanity?
Swaggynator387
Yes, indeed they do but I already found a way to conjure the dead and use then again
SomeCallMeWyGuy
Or just need mental help. Idk death seems a little backwards there, champ ;)
PUNISHER88
No it's the exact punishment, these fucks will eventually escalate the violence towards humans. It's only a matter of time.
SirDownvote
Have you ever considered that not EVERY single person who's hurt an animal becomes a serial killer?
TheosophicBlues
They just develop into lesser human garbage? Wife beaters, child abusers, rapists? Basically it's the sign of a sadist.
SirDownvote
They may not become anything. Making a wild assumption and saying that's the case every time is just absurd
Cypheri
Yeah, the people who keep letting their fucking cats roam at very least don't need to be allowed pets, right?
HandsWillNeverFit
I get cats can be a nuisance but they're meant outside for a good quality of life
HandsWillNeverFit
Since I'm being downvoted, someone tell me why I'm wrong? It's normal in the UK for there to be cats roaming
[deleted]
[deleted]
HandsWillNeverFit
I live in a suburban area each Street (about 20 houses) has atleast three cats
Allanonshea1
Or.. and hear me out here don't FUCKING SHOOT THE CAT
Mailbox23
Get some help man... I think something came lose in your head...
MajArc0
You are partly right there. Cats don't really belong to our natural habitats, rural nor urban.
anjunaspeak23
Dude... Don't blame the owners. It's never OK to torture any animal regardless if out and about or wild. These are psychopaths.
Cypheri
Don't blame the irresponsible pet owners who are breaking the law by letting their pet roam loose? Okay then. Smart.
DahPrincess
Cats are usually pretty independent and don't bother humans. I'd say don't let cats roam if you live near an area with endangered critters >
Cypheri
Or an area with anyone else who has small pets or a garden. Cats do indeed cause a LOT of property damage.
IWasBornInTheWrongCentury
This wasn’t someone wanting to kill the cat though, this was aimed for injuries
Cypheri
So shooting something in the head isn't meant to kill..? I'm not sure what planet you're from, but I'd like to visit someday.
DahPrincess
-or an ecosystem imbalance.
felunaluce
https://www.animallaw.info/article/detailed-discussion-state-cat-laws your leash laws are for dogs only.
Cypheri
You could stop spamming that since you're wrong. I've already told you my county has an ordinance against ANY animal at large.
felunaluce
And what county would that be
Cypheri
NR97420
I.... have no words other than I hope the shooter finds death slow and painful.
Kaesden
I advocate torture for the shooter. Keep an alive, make them beg for death and deny it for as long as possible. Maximum agony is deserved.
trpbritguy
You do all understand the irony of wishing ill on someone that does wrong don't you? Or the line between food and pet? Where is that line?
MrDamige
Whoever did this wasn't looking to eat. There's a difference between killing to eat and whatever the perpetrator was up to.
youropinionmeansnothing
If a motherfucker killed my cat to eat it
Maaatth
I'm all against capital punishment and an-eye-for-an-eye, but for this kind of things I'm all for stupid retaliation.
DoMeLikeLenny
It was probably a child...
MarkusZ91
Or gets tortured and consumed by cats like that one scene in "The Ancient Magus's Bride"
xXShadowWarriorXx
We need to make a John Wick but for Cats.
StevenFarmer
Nail their dick to a barn. Then set that barn on fire.
MrDamige
Give them a rusty knife, so they can escape if they're willing to make the sacrifice :)

Sever the spinal cord between the C5/6 vertebrae such that they become paralyzed from the elbows down... then throw them in a pit of tigers.
MajArc0
I'm on it.
TheSadCafe
Found the hitman
YetAnotherGamerGirl
skip the tigers and just let him live like that for a very long time
imjustalurkerdontmindme
Or just slice the tendons in his arms and legs and prop him up on a giant anthill, and make sure he stays hydrated.
MrAppendixX
Someone finally talking sense
delikanli1998
Why paralyze him. Just throw him in and let him feel all the pain
Muffyns
I don't think being paralyzed stops you feeling pain but you sure as hell can't fight back
kste7
In the paralysed area, there is usually no feeling at all.
AmArschdieRaeuber
I really wished that people get that angry when the similar things happen to humans. But then it is "it's not my problem"
BobbyBobbston
A person getting shot is horrible, but there are a billion possible reasons why that could've happened. What reasons are there for doing>
BobbyBobbston
AmArschdieRaeuber
I don't believe there is a single thing that can justify killing or hurting a person other than saving another one.
NorwegianJim
Injuring a small animal for fun is like injuring baby for fun. It has no way to defend itself. I think that is why some people react more.
AmArschdieRaeuber
There are plenty of adults who can't defend themselves.
Ruhig
No question that this is horrible, but if the cat had been kept safe at home, this wouldn't have happened.
SereniteeF
victim blaming? really? cat got out, it happens - this wasn't a hawk drive by or car..
Ruhig
So, a hawk dive or a car would be ok then?
SereniteeF
no - but neither would likely be intentional with forethought (hawk just wants his food, driver just tryin to get where they are going)
Ruhig
My point is that it's safer for that cat to be kept indoors, for the cat's sake. You don't want them to get hurt for ANY reason, right?
BobbyBobbston
"If little Jimmy wanted to stay safe, he should've stayed inside all his life. It's not the murderer's fault."
Ruhig
So, you'd let "little Jimmy" play in a stranger's yard at night?
BobbyBobbston
I'd let little Jimmy go out on the street, cause that's where normal Jimmys usually are. Do you think the cat was thrown in someones garden?
Ruhig
No, I'd assume it found its way there on its own when it was let out and left to wander.
