2 Wednesday December 12 2018 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi get in touch from the editor’s desk THAT MUST be one mean so and so who put a slug into Kylo the cat (page 3). And now Kylo’s family is having to pick up the tab for most of the vet bills, which don’t come cheap. Already the bill is up to $2500, but luckily help has arrived in the form of a Givealittle page. This online fundraising tool, which has rendered things like Telethon redundant, has raised more than $700 to help pay for some of the costs. That is a huge relief for Kylo’s family, and no doubt Kylo too, because it means there’s likely enough money around to repair the damaged cat. But it’s one very expensive slug.

RECOVERING: Lachlan Sewell with the family’s cat Kylo, who was shot with an air rifle. (Right) – Kirsty Sewell with Kylo. MORE THAN $700 has been raised to help with a Prebbleton cat’s veterinary bill after he was shot with a high-calibre air rifle. Kylo, 2, left his house on Conductors Rd on November 27 and didn’t return home for three days. His owner Kirsty Sewell said it wasn’t unusual for him to stray away from their house but she did become concerned as time went on. When Kylo returned, Mrs Sewell picked him up and placed him on her eight-year-old son Lachlan’s bed. “I didn’t realise he was hurt until I put him down and I was like ‘oh, no.’ He was limping and he had a big lump in his back,” she said. Mrs Sewell took Kylo straight to the vet where X-rays determined he had been shot and had a “major fracture” in his front leg. “We now know, post-surgery, the bullet went into the front of his shoulder, so somebody was taking a kill shot,” she said. Mrs Sewell said what had happened to Kylo made her feel “sick” and she could not understand why someone would want to hurt him. Kylo had surgery last week to remove the pellet and has a brace around his leg. It’s possible his leg may have to be amputated, but Mrs Sewell said they will have to wait to see if it heals first. Mrs Sewell’s friend has set-up a Givealittle page to help with Kylo’s vet bill, which is currently about $2500. SPCA Canterbury chief find your groove ballet hiphop inspector Jamie Hancock said there has been one other reported incident of an animal, also a cat, being shot in Prebbleton since January last year. “It’s possible some cases are only reported to police and some are not reported at all, but we know this is a widespread problem throughout Canterbury,” she said. Ms Hancock said causing a cat pain or distress that is not reasonable or necessary jazz contemporary Monday to Saturday Preschool to Advanced RTS RAD BBO JDNZ NZAMD Classes at Halswell Ladbrooks and Lincoln Call 03 354 6228 or 0274 836 265 www.annaleeschoolofdance.co.nz ANNA LEE SCHOOL OF DANCE 2019 ON THE DOMAIN LINCOLN 2 MARCH 2019 is an offence with penalties of 12 months in prison and/or a $50,000 fine. Senior Sergeant Pete Stills said police are aware of the incident and are investigating. “It’s actually not okay in a residential area to shoot cats, and if you were in a situation where you had some legal justification, you have to shoot them humanly,” he said. Mrs Sewell thanked Nick Page, of Rolleston Veterinary Services, for his work on Kylo. •To help with Kylo’s veterinary bill visit https:// givealittle.co.nz/cause/ help-needed-for-youngboys-cat-requiring-surgery ?fbclid=IwAR2rk99YCLuxJU cNFNQA69EoPJUSURVn0U g6BFj5bWWV9AXrPL3BKd CRb8A In Brief CAR HITS BANK Leeston firefighters were called to a crash on Leeston Rd about 11pm on Saturday after a car hit a bank and caught fire.
