Humane Society saves cat shot by arrow

By Tay­lor Kaser –

Tues­day morn­ing, the Mor­row County Humane Soci­ety res­cued a cat found in Marengo, that had been shot with an arrow. It isn’t known whether the injury was sus­tained acci­den­tally, or by mali­cious action.

The cat was taken to Maple Run Vet­eri­nary Clinic out­side of Mt. Gilead for treat­ment, where the doc­tors are con­fi­dent that the cat will make a recovery.

Dr. Amy White-Predieri explained that the arrow entered the cat in the neck and exited between its shoul­der blades. The cat, a brown and white male, appears to have been a healthy cat before this injury. It is unknown if the cat has an owner, or is feral.

Due to the bur­den of sus­tain­ing treat­ment costs for the feline, the Humane Soci­ety is encour­ag­ing any­one inter­ested in help­ing or donat­ing to con­tact them. Call 419–947-5791 or find them on the web at www.hsofmc.org or on Facebook.
