A 66-year-old man was arrested and charged for shooting a cat with a pellet gun this past weekend in Seven Sisters Falls.
On March 9, 2013, at about 1:30pm, Lac du Bonnet RCMP were dispatched to a report of a cat that had been abused and harmed in Seven Sisters Falls.
Police say that officers responded and learned that a cat was trapped, shot with a pellet gun and left on the side of the road. The cat was reportedly still alive and was taken to a local area veterinarian by a resident.
RCMP report that the cat was seriously harmed but will survive the incident and is now safely back with its owner.
