Who would do such a thing? In the Innviertel region, the search is on for an animal hater who allegedly shot a free-roaming tomcat twice in one night. Vets were able to surgically remove a projectile from "Tommy". It is clearly a bullet from a BB gun.

The police are intensively searching for an animal abuser who is said to have shot the free-roaming tomcat "Tommy" twice in Handenberg on Wednesday night.

Limping in the morning
"Tommy suddenly dragged his hind leg on Wednesday morning and then didn't eat for a day and a half," says his owner Gerhard N. (77). After the eight-year-old cat's condition continued to deteriorate, he took him to the veterinary clinic in Altheim on Thursday.

"We actually wanted to go on vacation with the motorhome that day. Of course we didn't do that," says N. X-rays revealed a bullet hole and a bullet hole in the right hind leg. The vets pressed charges.

Projectile cut out
The lead projectile was removed during an operation. It was a pointed bullet that had clearly been fired from a BB gun. The cost of treatment: 450 euros.

The cat can now recover in his usual home from the horror he suffered and the serious injury. "Tommy is now being given painkillers and antibiotics. We hope he recovers quickly and well," says N., who had already taken in the gray tiger as a small kitten.
