A San Jose woman's kindness has helped save a life in her neighborhood - that of Huerro, the stray cat shot with a crossbow. The feline was found by Allison Fluty on Friday night after she noticed him limping near her home.
Fluty took Huerro to a local veterinary hospital where staff removed a 6-inch bolt lodged in his tail at midnight. Fluty has since created a GoFundMe page to cover the cost of the surgery, as well as help other stray animals receive medical attention.
The woman who discovered Huerro said, "Why would someone do that? I mean, these are poor little animals that can't defend themselves." The victim's owner is still in shock over the incident and believes it's a case of targeted violence.
Fluty has now gone on to rescue 13 more stray cats from her neighborhood. In an effort to prevent such incidents, she plans to provide spaying services for these animals.
Huerro is recovering well at his home and should be back on its feet in two weeks.

that's so awsome! 
Fluty is literally a lifesaver 
her kindness & compassion are truly inspiring 
I mean, who shoots a cat with a crossbow?!? 
it's just not right 
Fluty's GoFundMe page is a great idea 
let's get these strays spayed & fixed 
ASAP! 
. The fact that this incident occurred, leaving a stray cat shot with a crossbow, is truly heartbreaking 
. It's reassuring to see someone like Fluty stepping forward, taking initiative to provide medical care and support for these vulnerable creatures 
.
. Fluty's efforts not only benefit Huerro but also contribute to a broader societal shift in how we perceive and treat animals 
. Her decision to provide spaying services is a testament to her commitment to creating long-term positive change 
.

oh my goodness I'm so touched by Allison's kindness 
, saving that poor kitty from a crossbow bolt was literally the most cruel thing anyone could do to an animal 
... it just goes to show how heartless some people can be 
. I think spaying services is a genius idea, let's get rid of all this pet abuse nonsense 
. Can we please spread awareness about animal welfare and support people like her who are making a difference? 
I mean, who shoots a cat with a crossbow? 
But seriously, I'm glad Huerro's tail isn't literally shot off (physically, of course). I do feel bad for the owner, though - it's one thing to be shocked and outraged when it happens to your own pet, but when it's someone else's...not so much.
.
like what even is that?! some person must've been super upset or something. anyhoo, there's this awesome lady Allison who found the poor cat and took him to the vet she's literally saving lives here 
. It's crazy how much of an impact one person can have when they choose to make a difference 
. And the fact that Huerro is recovering well and will be back on his feet in no time? That's just purr-fect 
. Kudos to Allison for being a true hero! 
And to think, Allison Fluty has taken it upon herself to help these poor guys... she's basically become their angel 
This is insane! Someone shoots a cat with a crossbow? That's just animal cruelty 
- I mean, creating a GoFundMe page to help other stray animals get medical attention? That's what we need more of! 
. It's not just about the cat, it's about preventing situations like this from happening again, and I'm all for it 
. The owner of the cat that shot Huerro should definitely be spoken to about their pet's behavior though... it was just so cruel 
But anyway, I'm so grateful for people like Allison Fluty who are making a difference in their communities...she's literally my hero right now 
I mean, what's with the GoFundMe page? Can't we just pay for a vet out of our own pockets or something? 
And now Fluty's gonna start doing spaying services too... it's like she's trying to take over or something 
.
... at least Allison Fluty is trying to help, that's a good thing 
and now I'm gonna be thinking about this for the rest of the day, thanks a lot world 
what's going through that person's mind? anyway, kudos to Allison Fluty for saving Huerro's life - that was quick thinking!
