Cat shot with pellet gun, kicked in the head
Vancouver, WA (US)

Incident Date: Tuesday, Dec 19, 2006
County: Clark

Disposition: Open

Suspect(s) Unknown - We need your help!

A family pet in Vancouver had seven shotgun pellets in his body and may lose an eye after a suspected attack.

Frodo's owner Stacey Allen found the cat in the driveway on Dec 19 night after he was missing for almost a week.

Veterinarian X-rays show he'd been shot.

It also appears he was kicked in the head. Vets said he also lost hearing in one ear.

"I think maybe kids did it or teenagers on Christmas break and didn't have anything to do - but that's just my suspicion," Allen said.

She filed a report with Clark County Sheriff's Office, but there were no suspects yet.

Animal cruelty is a class C felony punishable by a year in prison and a $1,000 fine.
