It is unknown how long they had been there.
Poor Onslow is now looking for an owner who will care for him, as reported on Need To Know.
He is being looked was taken to the RSPCA centre in Martlesham, Suffolk.
A spokesperson for the animal charity said: “We have launched a special rehoming appeal for a stray cat rescued with cat fight wounds.
“Who the charity believe had also been cruelly shot with a BB gun.
“Onslow was in a sorry state when rescued.
“As a stray cat, he was covered in wounds from fighting with other cats.
“But he also had rubber pellets – suspected to be from a BB gun – in his chest and leg.”
Donna Rich, cattery supervisor, said: “Despite seemingly being abused by people, he is so sweet-natured.
“And just loves being around people, having some fuss or taking a nap on a cosy lap.
“The pellets were old and didn’t seem to have caused him much damage although it must’ve been extremely painful and distressing at the time.”
