Hope's owner found her bleeding and near to death in Great Walsingham, Norfolk, and at first it was thought she'd been attacked by a dog because her body was ripped and torn. But the X-rays showed that she had been peppered by around 30 shotgun pellets. They were mostly in the back of her body but four were lodged in her head
Vets' staff managed to remove about 10 pellets but some were left in case worse damage was caused removing them. Hope is also suffering from a fractured toe as a result of the shooting.
The five-year-old moggy is recovering from her ordeal and is being treated at the Paws Centre in Norwich, which is run by the RSPCA Norwich and Mid Norfolk branch.
Her owner could not afford the veterinary treatment and she has been signed over to the care of the RSPCA.
