A tabby cat that miraculously survived after being struck in the head with an arrow is making a full recovery. The humane society caring for the animal chronicled his story on Facebook and asked followers for donations. Such was the public reaction that they raised a remarkable $80,000.

It was Valentine’s Day when the Animal Welfare League of Arlington (AWLA) received a call from a rescue in West Virginia about a cat in dire need of medical attention. Someone had shot the poor feline with an arrow. “They rushed him to the hospital, where he was given pain medication, and the veterinarian believed that the arrow had been there for at least a week,” AWLA explained in a viral Facebook post.
