LULING - The Humane Society of Louisiana has set up a crowd funding account to cover veterinary fees after an eight to nine-month-old kitten was found shot and injured by a hunting arrow.

St. Charles Parish residents Dolly and John Dicken contacted the Humane Society after they found the black short-haired cat wounded in front of their house around 8:30 p.m. Monday. The cat was wounded by an arrow that had pierced the fur and soft tissue of his chest cavity.

After making the gruesome discovery, the couple rushed “Max” to a veterinary clinic in LaPlace where he received emergency medical care. According to the veterinarian, the arrow had remarkably managed to pass through the fur in front of the cat’s chest cavity, but did not hit any organs. The feline’s rib cage, veins and arteries were also missed by the shot, which veterinarians say would have proved fatal for the kitten.

The arrow was made of an aluminum carbon fiber alloy with a “field tip” as a point, which is a type commonly used in bow hunting.

1. Whoever would do something like this is far worse than just a disgusting individual

BTW I wonder how that vet who shot the cat is doing in her career.

2. Did I miss something? The vet didn't shoot the cat, a neighbor did.

I didn't see a mention of the vet's name in the article

Ah, the milk of human kindness shown via human depravity.

Cute cat!

Has there been any serial killing activity in the vicinity of the shooter?
