THIS shocking x-ray shows the damage done when a cat was blasted in the leg with a shotgun.

Wadars, an animal rescue centre based in Worthing, is looking for a new home for Pogo who has had to have his front right leg amputated after it was shattered by shotgun pellets.

The now three-legged cat was found by a member of the public in Oving, Chichester, but was transferred to Wadars who are working on rehoming him.

Wadars Operations Manager, Tracy Cadman said; “It’s totally despicable how anyone can do this to an animal.

“He must have been in absolute agony. Now that he has re-recovered from the operation, having only three legs doesn’t worry him at all and he is perfectly capable of getting around.

“We are looking for a nice quiet home for him where he can continue his recuperation.”
