Police are investigating after a cat was shot and wounded by an air rifle pellet.

The pellet became lodged in the cat's lung, and despite being examined by a vet, due to its injury, it sadly died.

The cat was multi-coloured, eight-years-old and called Kiddles.

The incident occurred sometime between 8 and 10 am on Saturday in the village of Maenclochog.

Police are appealing for anyone who may have seen someone around the village with an air rifle to come forward and contact PC1048 Jackie Howells at Narberth Police Station on 101.
