A mum whose cat died after being shot with a pellet gun has spoken of the 'horrific' attack.
Yvonne Toner from Southport came home last Tuesday to find the family cat Toby with blood on his side. She initially believed that he had been hit by a car but after being x-rayed at the vets it was discovered that he had a pellet lodged in his side just behind his kidneys.
After an emergency operation, Toby was then taken to her son's appendment to recover but was rushed back to the vet after his condition began to worsen. He died two days after being shot.
