A cat was found dead of a gunshot wound in South Philadelphia over the weekend, and the Pennsylvania SPCA is offering a reward for information leading to the arrest of the person responsible for killing the animal.
PSPCA Officials said a resident found the cat's body on Cantrell Street near 5th on Saturday and contacted authorities. Humane law enforcement officers recovered the body and took it to PSPCA headquarters on Erie Avenue, where it was discovered that the animal had been shot to death.
The PSPCA is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever is responsible for the cat's death. Authorities are continuing to investigate.
