Shocking discovery: Cat found with several bullets in his body!
St. Johann (Austria) - On November 14, Tanja Grundner came across a neglected but surprisingly trusting cat. At that moment, however, she had no idea what the furry friend had been through.
The woman from St. Johann originally only wanted to take the poor animal to be neutered, but noticed that it was obviously in pain, as reported by the"Kronen Zeitung" newspaper.
At the vet, the cat was thoroughly examined and x-rayed. The vet made a shocking discovery: the cat, who had since been christened "Konstantin", had three bullets in his head, two in his chest and one in his abdomen - all from a firearm.
The police were then called in to track down the person responsible for these gruesome injuries.
Konstantin was taken into the care of Felicita Animal Aid, an organization that is financed exclusively by donations.
Cat Konstantin had been living with six bullets in his body for some time
The extent of the cruelty to the animal was not visible at first, because when Tanja found the furry friend, all the bullet wounds had already healed. So Konstantin had been living with the bullets in his body for some time.
Some of the bullets can be removed, but the ones in his head, apart from the one in his eye, must remain in place.
The others are to be surgically removed, but this is associated with certain risks.
The treatment costs amount to around 1000 euros. It is hoped that the cat will survive the operation well.
