Kal El is Missing in Houston, TX

Description

Brown tabby

Message from Owner

Six weeks ago, our cat Kara dragged herself with blood streaming down her leg. I thought a dog had attacked her. The truth was worse—someone shot her. The x-ray showed a bullet lodged in her tered leg bone. The vet said if it had hit her head or chest, she'd be dead . Someone in this neighborhood shot my cat. We spent our entire Christmas savings on emergency surgery to save her leg. We live paycheck to paycheck like everyone else. But the money isn't what haunts me—it's the cruelty. It's knowing that someone looked at a small, defenseless animal and decided to hurt her. The pain she endured. The fear. I can't stop thinking about it. We raised our fence. We kept them inside. But on Monday, December 22nd, contractors left our gate open. Our other cat, Kal El—a large brown tabby—got out. He hasn't come . Kal El never disappears. In five years, he's always come back. But now, every hour that passes, my wife and I are living the same nightmare. We're terrified he's lying somewhere hurt, or worse. These aren't "just cats" to us—they're our children. We've been praying desperately for his return, but the fear is crushing us. I don't understand how someone could do this. What kind of person shoots a cat? In a neighborhood where families live? Where children play? If you've seen a large brown tabby cat, please call me:. Leave a message if I don't answer—I will call you back immediately.
