EVANSVILLE, Ind. Sunny Omar was relieved when the stray cat she had been feeding for months finally returned after going missing for nearly a week.
Her relief quickly vanished Thursday morning when she realized the feline had a 20-inch arrow lodged in his body, protruding out of his chest and back.
A sheriff's deputy took the cat, which Omar's 14-month-old daughter had named "Kitty Kitty," to veterinarian Dan Grimm, who found the arrow had missed the cat's heart and all other major organs.
Grimm says the cat wasn'tt bleeding, but the skin around the arrow looked infected. He successfully removed the arrow, and afterward, Kitty Kitty ate food and drank water.
The cat, which continued his recuperation Friday, will remain in Grimm's care for about a month. If no one claims him within seven days, Omar will adopt him.
The Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Department is investigating the incident. As of Friday evening, donors had put up a reward for information leading to an arrest in the attack.

EVANSVILLE, Ind.) -- A stray cat found with a 20-inch arrow protruding from his chest and back has died from complications caused by an infection.
The cat that Sunny Omar had been feeding for months vanished for nearly a week before returning last Thursday, when she saw the arrow. A sheriff's deputy took the cat to a veterinarian, who found the arrow had missed the cat's heart and all other major organs.
Veterinarian Dan Grimm said successfully removed the arrow, and afterward, the cat ate food and drank water.
But the animal died of an overwhelming infection on Saturday, Grimm said.
"The arrow had been in there for three or four days, and the whole left lung was (badly infected)," he said.
Omar said her neighbors never complained about the friendly, gray cat that showed up at her doorstep about five months ago, begging for food.
"I was so shocked" that someone would harm the cat, she said.
