The search is on for whoever shot a Central Indiana cat in the head with an arrow.
At 83-years-old, Dillon Eads says his pets are pretty much all he's got at this point. Last week when 4-year-old Brownie returned home with an arrow in his head, Eads didn't know what to do.
"Hard to believe. Just hard to believe. And whenever I saw it, I mean I never felt so sorry for anything in my life. It just just broke my heart," said owner Dillon Eads.
Animal Control was called to the southwest side of Bloomington, and rushed Brownie to the vet, and after a relatively easy surgery for what was certainly not a routine injury, Brownie was on the mend.
Judging by the infection, vets think it had been lodged inside Brownie's head for at least 3 days.
"Hurting something that can feel pain and suffer just like any other being and you're doing it for what reason? Your own entertainment? It's just wrong. It's just flat out wrong," said Sarah Hayes with the Monroe County Humane Association.
Miraculously Brownie will be just fine. There is no damage to his vision, nor his brain. He'll just have a little scar or two.
Dillon Eads should have his cat back by week's end. He says he'll make sure he stays out of trouble from now on.
"Ya, ya, good to get him back," said Eads.
The reward is now up to $1350 for the arrest and conviction of whoever shot Brownie in the head. Contact the Monroe County Sheriff's Department with information.
