CRYSTAL LAKE, Ill. (CBS) — Police were still searching Thursday for the person who shot a Crystal Lake family’s pet cat — leaving it paralyzed.
Nearly two weeks ago, Kylie Rodriguez found her cat, Timmy, with a wound on his back. He couldn’t stand on all four legs.
Shortly afterwards, their vet found a bullet in Timmy’s fine.
Crystal Lake police said they are investigating Timmy’s injuries as a possible weapons violation.
Rodriguez and her family now plan to increase the reward in hopes that someone will come forward with information about who shot Timmy.
In the meantime, they’ve raised more than $17,000 via GoFundMe to help with Timmy’s vet bills and care.
The family plans to donate any additional money to a local animal organization in Timmy’s honor.
