REWARD FOR INFO ON OLLIE's KILLER

Heartbreaking to share, but someone shot and killed our beautiful 2-year-old black & white pet, A CAT NAMED OLLIE, around 4pm on FRIDAY, AUGUST 31st, in the Bel Air Knolls neighborhood of Santa Barbara. The shooting most likely happened in the open area between Bel Air Drive and Crestline Drive. He was shot at close range by an air pellet rifle (or other type of air pellet weapon), according to the vet and the x-rays (which we broken-heartedly had to look at). Ollie had crawled home, injured and bleeding. He collapsed on the floor just inside the door, relying on his caring 'parents' to help him. He was shot in the back, unable to survive the bullet puncturing his lungs and succumbed to the gunshot wound. We have reported this horrible crime to authorities and want to warn other neighbors with cats that this has happened. We hope to find out who committed such a heartless, tragic act. We hope somebody knows something... or even may have heard something... or may even know someone who has talked about harming animals. We need ANY AND ALL type of information.  This campaign is to raise funds to offer a reward to anyone who has information that conclusively leads to the identification of the person(s) who did this to fearless Ollie. Let us try as a community to help them understand how terribly wrong it is to harm a defenseless animal...
