The lucky feline was rescued by a neighbour and handed over to Feline Care Cat Rescue, who launched a mission to find her owners.
Efforts were made to track down the culprits responsible for the cruel act by appealing to nearby residents to check their CCTV and video doorbell footage. With the help of a microchip scan, the rescue centre discovered that the cat was originally named Cleo and registered to an address in Horsford.
