A CAT lover fears someone is deliberately targeting people’s pets after her two moggies were shot in the spine and face.
Smudge and Gizmo, 18-month-old sisters, were shot on Saturday, leaving owner Katy Grove heartbroken.
Gizmo was shot in the spine and had to be put down. Smudge underwent surgery after being shot in the face but also had to put down.
It is the second time Katy, 27, of North Royd Wood, Athersley North, has faced the ordeal after her beloved cat Maisie was also shot and killed two years ago. All three were shot by air rifles.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
