Veterinarian Offers Reward: Dr. Inayat Kathio, of Luzerne County, Pa., is offering a $1,000 reward to find out who shot Pandora, according to Fox43 WNEP. The pregnant cat is now recovering, thanks to Dr. Kathio. However, it’s not the first recent shooting in the county.
“(The) bullet…fractured the cat’s long bone and a tendon and cut some blood vessels,” Dr. Kathio explained. “It was infected, too, and if I didn’t perform surgery, gangrene would’ve set in and the cat would have lost its leg and ultimately lost its life.” Dr. Kathio has treated six cats suffering from gunshot wounds this year. He hopes the reward will lead to justice for Pandora and the other cats.
