Hardy Gets Adopted and Alley Cat Rescue Increases Reward for Information on His Abuser

You may recall that about two months ago, we posted about a Maryland cat named Hardy who had suffered sustained, painful abuse at the hands of an unknown person. We recently got an update from Alley Cat Rescue, we’re pleased to report that Hardy has been adopted by a couple who will give him the loving care he deserves.

Both of the adopters work in the veterinary field and can provide him with the kind of expert care his injuries require. Hardy’s abuser had cut his ears and bound his limbs and tail. As a result, Hardy has lost most of his toes. According to ACR program manager Niki Cochran, “Hardy will likely be afflicted with arthritis, litter box issues and pain in his feet.” However, “He should live a happy and healthy life with continued veterinary care.”

Unfortunately, Hardy’s abuser still has not been identified. ACR continues to focus on bringing this person or persons to justice. This is for Hardy, certainly, but it is also for the larger community. As ACR communications associate Brianna Grant explains, “Animal cruelty can be indicative of a violent personality. A person who commits such violent acts against an innocent cat could progress to hurting more animals or even people.”

ACR is offering a reward of $3,500 for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case. In addition, the Prince George’s Police Department is investigating and is also offering a reward. Anyone with information should call the police department at 301-772-4911. Callers who prefer to remain anonymous may call 1-866-411-8477.
