Cat Survives Air Gun Attack | Leicester News

A cat named Nacho narrowly escaped death after being shot with an air gun pellet in the Kirby Muxloe area, suffering five perforations to his small intestine during emergency surgery. Miraculously, the pellet missed vital organs, and he’s now recovering at home on meds — though vets warn of possible long-term complications. The attack has left his owners devastated and fearful of letting their pets outside, especially after moving to the village for its charm and open spaces. With treatment costing nearly $4,000 and more care likely, they’re also frustrated by the lack of safety measures — as the RSPCA reports nearly 1,000 animal attacks annually from air guns, urging stricter controls and better buyer education.
