Police are appealing for information and witnesses after two cats were injured in Springfield Road, Hemel Hempstead.
The first incident occurred on Tuesday, September 13, when a seven-month-old ginger and white cat returned home with an injury to its neck. The owners took their pet to the vets, who located a pellet, which required surgery to remove.
The second incident occurred on Tuesday, September 20, when a black cat, with a pink collar and pink bell, returned home with an injury to its front left leg. The owners took their pet to the vets to discover a pellet had shattered the bone and were recommended to amputate the leg.
PC Max Robinson, who is investigating, said: “This is a really traumatic time for the owners and their beloved pets and investigations are continuing to establish how they became injured. I am appealing for anyone who may have information about the incidents to please contact me at Maximilian.Robinson@herts.police.uk or PCSO Olivia Finlay at Olivia.Finlay@herts.police.uk and quote the relevant crime reference number.”
