OCONTO, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A cat who arrived at the Oconto Area Humane Society with a bullet lodged in his leg is in need of donations and a forever home.
On Thursday, the shelter posted on Facebook sharing the story of Mitch — a black-furred, green-eyed cat who came to OAHS as an injured stray.
Further veterinary care revealed Mitch had a severe break and a bullet lodged in his leg. Ultimately, officials made the decision to amputate — at a cost of $3,000.
“Unfortunately, this is not the first case where we have had a stray cat brought in from our area with a bullet wound,” OAHS wrote in the Facebook post.
