YUMA, AZ (AZFamily) — A Yuma neighborhood is calling for action after a cat was killed with a hunting arrow, leaving behind two kittens.
Neighbors said the cat was part of a colony they were working to trap, spay and neuter as part of ongoing efforts to reduce the stray population.
Before they could, the cat was found dead beneath a car with the arrow still lodged in its body.
Kim Hill-Olsen said it was her friend who found the cat and had been caring for it by providing food and water while preparing to have the animals sterilized.
“We are planning to trap them and catch them and spay and neuter them,” Hill-Olsen said.
Annette Lagunas, CEO of the Humane Society of Yuma , called the act unfortunate and said volunteers often don’t get enough credit for trying to address a problem man
