Cat found with arrow in chest
Mobile, AL (US)

Incident Date: Thursday, Apr 23, 2009
County: Mobile

Disposition: Open

Suspect(s) Unknown - We need your help!

A stray cat living in Mobile's Municipal Park was captured on April 23, 2009, after it was spotted with an arrow in its chest.

"We're not really sure what's going on, but we just know it is an atrocity," says Susan Young of the Azalea City Cat Coalition.

Young says the cat, which was living among dozens of other strays in a drainage ditch, was shot sometime between Sunday night or early Monday morning. Volunteers spent most of the week trying to catch the cat, but they weren't successful until yesterday.

"A green and black arrow was sticking out of its chest," says Young. "It was obviously shot intentionally, and it was in daylight running around the park."

"It's very scary because it indicates to me that there are sociopathic people living in the community," says Young.

The Azalea City Cat Coalition is a non-profit group that operates a trap and release program to spay, neuter and vaccinate stray cats.
