Alley Cat Allies offers $15,000 reward in Conover blowgun attack
A cat named Trooper was found in a Conover, North Carolina parking lot in June with an orange-tipped blowgun dart lodged in her side. Following her survival of emergency surgery, the advocacy group Alley Cat Allies has posted a $15,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case.
The incident occurred on June 26 near a golf cart shop at 6576 N NC Hwy 16. Local caregivers spent days attempting to rescue the injured feline before she was finally transported to a veterinarian on July 3. Alley Cat Allies covered the costs of her medical treatment and is currently overseeing her ongoing recovery.
Coryn Julien, a program communications officer at the organization, stated that the reward aims to secure a felony animal cruelty charge and prison time for the perpetrator. The group maintains that aggressive prosecution of such acts serves as a vital deterrent against future violence. Anyone with information regarding the attack is urged to contact the Catawba County Sheriff's Office via email at investigations@catawbacountync.gov.
