When we first wrote about Comet, the one-year-old Florida cat had been found limping and blinded in one eye after being repeatedly shot by a BB gun. Thankfully, Comet’s rescuer rushed the abused cat to Helping Paws Humane Society, where workers removed pellets from all over the wounded cat’s body.

“Thank you for your support of Comet, our cat who was found needing significant medical care after being abused by his owners,” Comet’s caretakers told Waggle, which partnered with The Animal Rescue Site to provide the injured cat with lifesaving care.
