Two Cats Shot With Crossbow Bolts on Eindhoven’s Metiuslaan

Both animals survived after veterinary treatment, prompting a neighborhood safety warning.

Overview

  • Rudy was struck in the abdomen on November 9 and underwent surgery for intestinal damage, according to the treating veterinarian.
  • Six days later and about 100 meters away, Knorretje was found with a bolt lodged near the eye and was treated and discharged with medication.
  • Dierenziekenhuis Eindhoven posted an Instagram alert to warn residents and urged the perpetrator to come forward to cover the costs.
  • The clinic advises keeping cats indoors for now and cautions owners not to remove bolts themselves because barbs can cause internal injury.
  • The shooter remains unidentified, and local owners describe fear and report missing cats, raising concern about further incidents.
