FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) -- Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control (FWACC) is asking the public for information after receiving two injured cats that required amputations. According to FWACC, one cat was found in the 2500 block of Winch Street, and the other cat was located in the 3400 block of Central Drive. Both were found "hurt and bleeding" by concerned citizens. After performing tests, FWACC staff learned the injuries were caused by bullets that likely came from something similar to a pellet gun. The injuries required amputation, according to FWACC.
