AN 18-month old cat has lost a leg after it was shot with a rifle in Western Australia.
Stella was found limping by her owner when she returned to her Broome home on Thursday, the RSPCA says.
Bullet fragments were found in the cat's right front leg by a vet.
"Due to the severity of its injuries the leg had to be amputated," RSPCA chief David van Ooran said in a statement.
"Stella the cat is currently recovering well and should be well enough to go home (on Saturday)."
Mr van Ooran added he was "disgusted to see defenceless animals being deliberately killed or injured."
The RSPCA is also investigating the shooting of a horse with a shotgun and cases where dogs, pelican, ducks and cats were shot with arrows.
"Penalties for this kind of offence can range from a $2000 minimum fine up to a $50,000 fine and five years' imprisonment," Mr van Ooran warned.
Anyone with information about the animal attacks is asked to contact the RSPCA.
