PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A reward of $4,500 is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction for shooting a cat near Tillamook in August.
The Humane Society of the United States said Tuesday it is offering a reward of up to $2,500 while United Paws of Tillamook, together with anonymous individuals, are offering $2,000.
The Humane Society said the cat was found near the 13-mile marker of Trask River Road, about 17 miles from Tillamook on August 13.
The young chocolate-point Siamese cat had been shot through the eye and its lower jaw had been shattered. It was later euthanized.
Humane Society officials said animal cruelty can lead to other crimes, and urged the public to assist in tracking down whoever shot the cat.
