Cat ‘shot in the leg’ will soon be looking for forever home
Tom, a semi-feral cat from Collingham, near Wetherby, has been taken in by Leeds Cat Rescue (LCR).
They said in a Facebook post: “Shockingly Tom's shattered leg was a result of being shot by what we believe was a high velocity air rifle and amputation was the only cause of action for him.

The incident has been reported to the police.
Tom was being befriended over the last few months by a family in the area with a view to neutering and socialising him.
LCR added: “Hopefully after he's fully recovered we can find the beautiful boy his own home.”
