Cathy Peterson, of Bellaire's Moka and Starlight Lounge, is pictured with her cat Finn, who was shot with a pellet gun by an unknown person and may have suffered permanent damage as a result of the malicious act. Peterson and her husband Bill are offering a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible.
BELLAIRE – Finn is just your average very friendly and easygoing yellow and white tabby cat that likes to go outside and wander around a little once in a while.
"We rescued him as a tiny 5-week-old kitten that had been horribly abused and neglected before we got him," said his owner Cathy Peterson last week. "So when he found a home with us he never went very far, and would only be gone for a couple of hours at a time.”
But on Nov. 1, the morning after Halloween, Finn had still not returned from his walk around the Petersons' Thayer Lane home the evening before.
Then he was found hiding on the ledge of a window on the family's home.
"He'd been bleeding, profusely, all down his legs," said the distraught Peterson, who with her husband Bill owns and operates both the Moka café and the Starlight Lounge in downtown Bellaire.
