A pet cat has survived being shot 50 times by yobs in an attack which left her "covered in blood".

A bloodied Rosie and the X-ray which revealed the brutal nature of the attack.

Two-year-old Rosie's body was littered with pellets, fired from a shotgun, after the cruel attack in Guisborough, Cleveland.

Vets could only manage to remove 20 pellets for fear of injuring the poor animal further.

It means Rosie, who is recovering after emergency surgery, will have to live the rest of her life with 30 pellets inside her.

Her outraged owner Tracy Homan said she believed the cat had been pinned down, or tied up, before a gun was used to fire the pellets repeatedly into her body.

Ms Homan said she was "furious" at the "absolutely horrendous" brutality.

"I just can't believe somebody could be so cruel to an animal," she added.

Cleveland police are now investigating the attack.

But Ms Homan fears she may "never know what actually happened".

The wounds are clear to see

The vet initially thought Rosie had been victim of an animal attack.

But closer inspection revealed the wounds had been caused by pellets.

The RSCPA has appealed for witnesses to the attack.

Inspector Lucy Hoehne said: "We want to hear from anyone who knows what happened here, before someone else's pet suffers the same fate."

Rosie underwent surgery at Wilton House Veterinary Clinic in Guisborough after her ordeal last Thursday.

Vet Clare Turner said "she's been very lucky".

"I've only been qualified for a year," she added. "But this is the first time I've dealt with a cat that has been shot. Fifty pellets in a cat is a lot."

Ms Homan said her three children, aged seven to 12, were "absolutely horrified".

"They just can't believe it. When I think about what's happened it brings tears to my eyes.

"If it had been done by a cat or a dog I could have got over it, but I just can't believe a person could do that - especially in this area."

It is not the first time the family's pets have been targeted.

Three years ago, thugs broke into Ms Hogan's former home and killed her rabbit.

Mad, We had a cat when we were young, so his really strikes a chord with me!!!! Mad

One wonders how such people obtain shotguns.


one wonders how they obtain handguns and mac 10's too but they seem to manage it, not that they need it, the scum who wrecked the hillsborough memorial in liverpool didnt use guns.

Yeah I know Holly. Alot of them practice on animals first and then go onto human beings.

One of my cats, a few years back, was shot 5 times with an air gun on 5 different occasions. She was lucky each time that it did no major damage, although one of the pellets did nick a kidney. I would loved to have found the evil monsters who did that, and give them a taste of their own medicine.

Oh and I don't think it is illegal to own one if you are over either 14 or 16 Mad

You would have to visit the sleepy market town of Guisborough to understand my point.

It suggests to me the cat was shot 50 times and that they were shotgun pellets as opposed to any other type of pellets. Smiler

LL just saw your response to me, thats bloody horrible what those effers did to your little cat. By nature I don't think any of us are violent HOWEVER, in instances like these, I couldn't swear not to wring the culprits necks if I found them. Mad
