A furious Tauranga family are demanding justice after an air rifle attack on their beloved cat left it with three legs.
Lyn Poultney said the family's 4-year-old ginger cat TJ first went missing from their Darraghs Rd, Otumoetai home about a fortnight ago.
When TJ limped home four days later, Mrs Poultney realised something was wrong.
"He was dragging his front right leg. At first we thought a dog had bitten him."
