Family seeks justice after pet cat is shot in Geroskipou

A family in Geroskipou is searching for witnesses after their nine-year-old pet cat, Pitsis, was found critically injured following a shooting. The animal, which the family noted had been a beloved companion for years, went missing recently. After an eight-day search, the owners discovered the cat with multiple gunshot pellets lodged in its head, resulting in the loss of its sight.

The owners believe the attack took place on the evening of October 3 on Kallimachou Street. While the cat is currently undergoing medical treatment, veterinarians have provided only a faint hope that it might regain vision in at least one eye. The family is publicly appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the incident or heard anything suspicious to contact them via social media. They stated that their goal is to seek justice for defenceless animals rather than to pursue personal revenge.

This incident has sparked concern regarding animal safety in the local community. The family continues to highlight the cruelty of the act, questioning the motivation behind harming a harmless creature. At this stage, no specific suspects have been named, and the family’s request for information remains the primary ongoing effort to identify the perpetrator.
