Alley Cat Allies, the leader of the global movement to protect cats and kittens, is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the prosecution and conviction of any person(s) who committed acts of animal cruelty or neglect related to a kitten found in Cleveland, Ohio, with a suspected traumatic injury to his foot that resulted in the loss of his leg.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Cleveland Animal Protective League (APL) humane investigations hotline at 216-377-1630.
The kitten, dubbed Apollo, was reportedly found in Cleveland with his right front paw missing and the tendons of his leg exposed by the injury. He is an orange tabby and is estimated to be around 3 months old.
Alley Cat Allies brought Apollo’s case to the attention of the Cleveland APL, ensured Apollo was rushed to veterinary care, and covered the costs of his treatment as well as veterinary forensics to help determine the cause of the injury. The trauma to Apollo’s foot meant his entire leg had to be surgically amputated. He is doing well and is receiving further care at the Cleveland APL. Further investigation is underway.
Any knowledge offered by citizens about Apollo is critical to uncovering what caused his injury and seeking justice.
Again, anyone with information is asked to contact the Cleveland Animal Protective League (APL) at 216-377-1630. Reward terms and conditions can be found at?alleycat.org/RewardTerms.
