Statement from the Danville Area Humane Society:

We are offering a $500 reward for information that leads to the arrest of the people responsible for throwing this little kitten into a wall in the Pleasant View apartments area around 6:00 this evening. The police were called and took him to the shelter. His injuries do not appear to be life threatening and he will be examined by a veterinarian. Rewards are funded by the Earl Merricks Stop the Cruelty Fund.

He was very hungry and ate readily. He snuggled into a blanket and is asleep. Incidents like this are why the board and staff remain committed to being an open-admission shelter, screening adoptive homes, and doing everything in our power to keep animals out of harm’s way.

Update: Bryon Hunt has added $100 to the reward and The Pink Plumber has added $500, for a total reward of $1,100.
