YUMA, AZ (AZFamily) — A Yuma neighborhood is calling for action after a cat was killed with a hunting arrow, leaving behind two kittens.
Neighbors said the cat was part of a colony they were working to trap, spay and neuter as part of ongoing efforts to reduce the stray population.
Before they could, the cat was found dead beneath a car with the arrow still lodged in its body.
Kim Hill-Olsen said it was her friend who found the cat and had been caring for it by providing food and water while preparing to have the animals sterilized.
“We are planning to trap them and catch them and spay and neuter them,” Hill-Olsen said.
Annette Lagunas, CEO of the Humane Society of Yuma, called the act unfortunate and said volunteers often don’t get enough credit for trying to address a problem many neighbors complain about.
Lagunas calls these volunteers caretakers. She said these are people who use their own money and take the time to trap cats and help sterilize them.
“We don’t need everybody to like the cats, but we do need everybody to understand the process. We are truly trying to eliminate all those bad behaviors and the amount of cats roaming around neighborhoods,” said Lagunas.
Lagunas said cat colonies remain a challenge in Yuma, but sterilization is the solution, not killing the animals. The Humane Society has programs to help neighborhoods manage colonies.
“Now with TNR, which is trap, neuter and return, we can actually save those cats, keep them in those areas they like to be and let them thrive,” Lagunas said.
The case has been reported to the police. Hill-Olsen said officers collected the arrow as evidence. She hopes raising awareness will help prevent something like this from happening again.
The Yuma Police Department said animal control officers are investigating. Anyone found responsible could face animal cruelty charges.

Animal rescuers said they braved rough seas and powerful winds to free a humpback whale entangled in fishing gear off the coast of Australia during what they described as one of the season’s more challenging operations.
The Sea World Foundation said a rescue team responded off the coast of New South Wales after receiving reports of a whale in distress.
Drone video showed a thick rope wound tightly around the mammal’s tail, restricting its ability to move and leaving it in what rescuers described as a compromised state.
Despite battling gale-force winds and crashing waves, the crew says they were able to cut the whale free in just over an hour.

Video released by the Sea World Foundation showed no other animals in distress in the immediate area, and the freed whale was able to swim away under its own power.
The incident unfolded during the peak of the annual humpback migration, when tens of thousands of whales travel north to breeding grounds in warmer waters before returning south toward the nutrient-rich seas near Antarctica.
Humpback and southern right whales are the most commonly sighted species off New South Wales, but blue whales, minke whales, sperm whales and even orcas are occasionally spotted along the coast.
The peak period for whale sightings usually comes in late winter and early spring, when the largest numbers of humpbacks pass by the coastline.
Towns in New South Wales, such as Byron Bay, Port Stephens and Eden, are considered prime destinations for whale watching, drawing tourists from across Australia and around the world.
