Kali the cat was found in a locked freezer at a Youngstown gas station. It is now in safe hands at Animal Charity.
Animal Charity believes the cat's owner is the same as the owner of a dog named Koda, which was shot in the neck and paralyzed. The dog was in the hospital for several days, and Animal Charity spent $15,000 saving her life.
'The investigation is looking into the fact that the animal was put into the freezer and abandoned there and also the safety aspect of an animal being shot and then not subsequently receiving veterinary care,' said Jane MacMurchy with Animal Charity.
Animal Charity is taking donations to help meet those expenses. It's also hoping the owner of both animals will face criminal charges.

YPD cites juvenile for running, finds gun, after investigation into large crowd and gunfire
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — City police late Wednesday cited a juvenile who ran from officers who were called to a South Side street for a large crowd and gunfire, and they also found a handgun. Police were called at about 11:10 p.m. to the 3000 block of Idlewood Avenue for a report of a large fight and gunfire, and when officers showed up, several cars began leaving the area, and people were running. Police went to check behind a nearby home for someone who was seen running away and in a wooded area found a loaded 9mm handgun in a Sponge Bob backpack, reports said. The gun had a laser light attached, and the serial number was scratched off, reports said. One of the people who ran away was found by police in the 400 block of West Boston Avenue. Reports said he told officers he ran because he was scared. Because the Mahoning County Juvenile Justice Center refused to take him, the boy was cited for obstructing official business and released to a relative. No one was injured by the gunfire.
