ATLANTA (CBS ATLANTA) -
The Atlanta Humane Society is offering a $2,500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for burning a 2-year-old male cat in Union City.
The Fayette County Humane Society rescued Grayson from an apartment complex in early August in response to a resident's call.
Grayson was doused in lighter fluid and set on fire.
"This is a horrific act of animal cruelty," said William Shaheen, president, Atlanta Humane Society. "It is imperative that those responsible for this terrible act are caught so that we can prevent this from happening to another innocent animal. It is our hope that the reward will encourage citizens to do the right thing and report anyone who is treating animals unkindly."
Grayson was treated at the VCA Braelinn Village Animal Hospital in Peachtree City and is ready for adoption.
The Fayette County Humane Society is seeking a foster or permanent home for Grayson with no other cats and an indoor only lifestyle. Contact info@fayettehumane.org for more adoption information.
If you know who might be responsible for this, call Capt. Eugene Tate with the Union City Police Department at 770-‐515-‐7835 or etate@unioncityga.gov.
