Can you help? This cat was shot with a pellet gun and is up for adoption

This female cat, Allie, broke her leg in a fall after being shot.

A PELLET GUN attack has left a mothering cat struggling with a broken leg.

Allie has been in the care of the DSPCA for the past month after being seriously injured in Ballymun.

The incident happened when she was shot with a pellet gun, and as a result of a subsequent fall, fractured her front left leg.

The attack has seen Allie’s leg amputated.

Allie DSPCA DSPCA

The DSPCA has said the incident has been particularly distressing as she is currently nursing four kittens.

The kittens have been brought along with her to their facility in Rathfarnham and will stay with her until they are old enough to be re- homed.

Allie is currently in a foster home and will soon be available for adoption.

shot cat

Allie is one of 160 cats currently under the care of the DSPCA who are looking for places to be rehoused.

Members of the public are able to contact the organisation through their website here.

    Could be a massive pub crawl around Dublin called the ComeIno Walk. When completed the compestelo will be a pint of Guinness at St. James’ Gate! Followed by a high mass gathering at the Temple Bar Centre for Advanced Alcoholics!!!!

    I did the first 200k of the French way last year. Have to say it was one of the best experiences ive had. I’m going back to finish it in August, I can’t wait. I’m trying to raise money for the Louth community drug and alcohol team for anyone that would like to sponsor me (ive no shame in begging) I know some people on here have attitudes to people with addictions but for those that don’t and would like to sponsor the charity here’s the link http://www.idonate.ie/mobile/fundraiser/65712_paddy-fagan-s-fundraising-page.html

    I was in Santiago last year. Really nice town, very relaxed. Great food, cheap beer and lovely hotel. I would highly recommend it for a weekend away if you are looking for something different. You can always pretend you just finished the camino!

    Have walked a stretch of it each year since 2011. It’s a great part of Spain. The French Way is getting a little crowded of late, especially during the summer months. Having said that, I always find an excuse to go back :)
