An elderly woman has been left distraught after her cat was seriously injured after being shot 25 times with a pellet gun in Londonderry.
Police have criticised those responsible, and they’re appealing for help from the public in tracing this ‘despicable excuse of a human being’ in Derry.
Police say the cat would not wander far from its home on the Tullymore Road in Derry.
The cat is presently with the vet.
“If you have any information that can help us find the despicable excuse of a human being that caused this then please ring 101 and quote ref no 654 11/10/18,” a police spokesperson said.
