Around 2 hours later the owner of the cat went outside and noticed blood coming on the feline's face and mouth. The cat seemed to be in pain and was immediately rushed to a veterinarian in Newtown, Connecticut.

Unfortunately, the caliber of the bullet was unable to be determined.
After days of surgery, Sheldon the cat was sent home to recover from the inflicted wounds.
