"We waited the whole day," Oliva said. "It was touch and go, touch and go, until finally she passed.""The cat was shot twice," Nassau SPCA Detective Matt Roper said. "They found two projectiles located in the cat, one in his thoracic region in his lungs, and one in one of his limbs.""We lost something very precious to us," Oliva said. "There's no words for that.
