It’s an incredible story of survival. A cat is shot in the head with an arrow and lives. And now the hunt is on for the person who shot a cat in the head with an arrow.
Jean Kissinger's cat shot in head with arrow. The widow has eight cats and two birds. “There’s just company for me.”
But one of those cats, a 14 month old named Mack, is getting the most attention.
Two weeks ago, someone shot Mack in the head with an arrow. You can see in the pictures, it went through his head and got stuck.
Kissinger said she saw someone running away in her back yard when Mack came to stumbling to the door. But she was too consumed with saving her cat to get a good look at them. “I couldn’t believe. I just could not believe it that he was walking around like that. He was staggering, but that is the reason he was bumping into things.”
Mack was rushed to the animal hospital where the arrow was removed and given to police. Amazingly it missed all the vital parts of his brain. “We should change him name to Lucky.”
Now, Mack is home recovering although he wasn’t willing to come out to meet our cameras. This ordeal cost Kissinger $750, money she really needed. “He still a little tired, but he’s doing well. I hope that they get the person who did this because I find them to be sick and I don’t want to see it happen to anybody else.”
Kissinger thinks that maybe someone thought Mack was a stray and shot it for fun. But she’s convinced it wasn’t one of her neighbors. If you have any information about this you are asked to call the Susquehanna Regional Police Department.

On December 22 just before 1130 p.m., someone walked up to a home on the 300 block of Walnut Street in Bainbridge and shot a cat named Mack with a hunting arrow.
The arrow went through the front of the cat’s head and out the back. The arrow remained through the cat’s head until emergency veterinarian personnel removed it.
Witnesses reported seeing a dark figure standing in the back yard of Mack’s home, and when he was the cat with an arrow through its skull the figure ran towards North Second Street.
Mack survived the harrowing ordeal and is back to good health. The arrow narrowly missed his brain, but did strike his sinuses, causing a lifetime of sinus issues.
Anyone with information on Mack’s attack is encouraged to call Susquehanna Regional Police Department or Lancaster Crime Stoppers.
One of the pictures is of the cat, but we will warn you that the arrow is still in its head and the photo may be disturbing to some people.
