On Saturday afternoon, Kristin Slovensky, 16, was on her porch of her Parma, Ohio, home when Lucky staggered in with the arrow sticking out of his neck.
"It was just sickening, I couldn't believe he was still alive," she said.
Kristin and her boyfriend rushed Lucky, 8, to an animal emergency clinic.
"In my 20 years of taking care of animals, I've never seen anything like this," said Jeni Hren, who operated on Lucky. "This cat was shot at close range."
Lucky is now back home, but not out of danger yet. The risk of infection is very high, and he could suffer kidney damage.
Donna Slovensky said she is shocked that someone would do this to a harmless cat.
"He's fixed, he's gentle, he loves to walk through the neighborhood," she said. "Everybody on this street knows Lucky and loves him."
