GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WZZM) The Humane Society of Kent County says the reward is now up to $5,500 for the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for setting a cat on fire.
Hadley, the 1 1/2 year old cat was brought to the Humane Society on July 3rd. He had third degree burns over his ears, neck, back and legs. Authorities from the Humane Society say it appears someone soaked the cat in an accelerant.
Hadley's owners brought the cat in for treatment, but could afford the on-going care so signed over ownership.
It's believed Hadley was burned by someone in the owner's neighborhood. They live on Turner Avenue between Ann and Leonard on Grand rapids Northwest side.
Hadley is now on three types of antibiotics and two pain medications.
If you know who might have set the cat on fire call the Humane Society of Kent County at 616-791-8218 or leave an anonymous tip at 616-453-8900 ext. 302.
