A beloved family pet has been left with multiple injuries and a feed tube after a "brutal attack" in a Co Down village.
One-year-old Tig was found by her family with damage to her face and head after returning to her home in Kinallen after getting out on Monday.
Owner Tanya Hull said she now has to feed the cat via a tube every four hours due to the extent of her injuries - causing both emotional and financial stress for her family.
