Coco is the 2nd cat to be shot in the town of Gobowen, close to Oswestry, in simply over a month.
She sustained the injury to her eye while out in the Hammonds Place/Court locations of the town on Sunday, February 5.
Due to the intensity of the injury, Coco needed to be put down.
Now, cops have actually released an appeal for details from members of the general public.
PCSO David Hughes for Oswestry Rural North SNT said: “This is not a separated occurrence.
“We are eager to speak with anybody who knows and help us determine those who trigger damage to our neighborhoods.”
Bella’s owners took her to the veterinarians, however regardless of surgical treatment, she was not able to be saved.
Talking about the occurrence on Sunday, an RSPCA representative said: “We’re exceptionally saddened to find out about Coco and our ideas are with the owners at this extremely tough and disturbing time for them.
“We would prompt anybody with first-hand details to call the cops.
“Cats and wildlife are frequently the target of air rifle attacks, merely due to the fact that they are exposed without any one to secure them.
“The injuries brought on by such attacks are dreadful and frequently deadly. These attacks are frequently intentional by individuals who simply don’t care about harming animals or are intentionally targeting animals to keep them far from gardens.
“We continue to require more stringent guidelines around owning an airgun in both England and Wales. Much better education, basic safety training for owners and a comprehensive description of the law – including our legal commitments towards animals – might help secure many animals from these dreadful attacks in the future.”
