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. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

The year has marked a big milestone for the organization after moving all its operations to one large facility in Boardman. 'It's amazing to see everyone in person. It's very hard when you're doing everything digitally to see the support but when you get everyone in a room like this it's heartwarming and humbling,' said Jane MacMurchy with Animal Charity of Ohio. The event sold out and raised over $60,000 in donations and tickets so far. All the money supports the medical care of the animals, operations of the shelter and animal cruelty investigations.
