A horrified woman has spoken out about her ongoing ordeal after her two-year-old cat Jinx was left seriously injured by shotgun bearings. Megan Snape now faces the possibility of forking out thousands for further follow up treatments after her current pet insurance will no longer cover the rest
Little Jinx, who is two-years-old this month, had been venturing out in nearby fields at Megan's house, beside Dovestone Reservoir, on Thursday (July 21) when he returned home with a bad limp. The following morning, shocked vets told her that he had numerous ball bearings stuck in three of his legs after a shotgun had been fired.
Jinx immediately underwent surgery, which saw Megan drive to Sheffield, with the little cat now needing to remain in a crate with metal pins in his legs.
