POLICE are investigating the shooting of a cat in Eastriggs which had to have a leg amputated.
The investigation by Police Scotland officers started after the cat was found shot last Tuesday
The six year old cat has had to have a leg amputated after being shot, a police spokesman said.
The incident happened sometime on the evening of Tuesday 18 August.
The cat has managed to return home to Auckland Walk in Eastriggs, and was later taken to the vet and the leg amputated.
Constable Julie Rankin of Police Scotland at Annan said: “This is a horrific case of cruelty to animals and the cat must have suffered terribly as it made its way home after being shot.
“I am appealing to anyone in the Eastriggs area who can help in this investigation to contact me at Annan Police Office through the 101 number, or if they want to remain anonymous, through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
