“He made it home and his distraught owners rushed him to the vets who did all they could to save him but unfortunately he died three hours later.
“He was a beautiful, defenceless, happy cat.
“If anyone has any information about who might have been responsible please please contact the police telephone number 101, quoting crime number CR065993-17,”
A petition calling for a change in law on air gun ownership has been set up:
