PETA is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction on cruelty charges of the person responsible for restraining, beating, and running over a cat whose body was found in the parking lot of the Appalachian Funeral Home on Sunday.
Washington County/Johnson City Animal Shelter Director Tammy Davis said she also had $500 in local donations for a reward as of Thursday morning.
The catâs body wasnât in the parking lot when a funeral home worker arrived at 10:30 a.m., but the employee discovered the cat at around 1 p.m. and called the police. Someone had bound the male orange-and-white catâs rear legs with duct tape and inflicted severe head trauma, possibly with a screwdriver that was found nearby, and bloody tire tracks indicate that his head was run over.
