Cat With Eyes Spray Painted Shut
Friday, August 3rd, 2007
A reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of a person who officials said spray-painted a cat’s eyes shut. According to the Animal Protection and Rescue League, an employee at the San Diego City Attorney’s office was leaving for work Wednesday morning when she discovered the spray-painted cat.
The lawyer, Kim Urie, said she was in the alley between Valle and Martin avenues near Memorial Community Park around 7:30 a.m. when she spotted the cat against a wall. A can of spray paint was next to the animal, Urie said. She took the cat and the spray paint to work with her and called the county Department of Animal Services. Animal Services director Dawn Danielson said officers with her agency picked up the cat around 1 p.m. from the City Attorney’s Office.
The APRL is offering a $500 reward in the case. You can contact them at 619-236-4250 or visit www.APRL.org. Additionally, the San Diego Animal Advocates announced Thursday a reward offer of $1,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction for whoever was responsible for the abuse.
“The kitten is resting comfortably and ate ravenously, which is a good sign,” said Danielson.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to contact the Department of Animal Services tip line at 619-767-2740.
