£2,000 reward to find the Wolverhampton cat killer
A £2,000 reward has been offered to help catch the callous person who killed two cats.
The reward has been put forward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for killing the cats in Wolverhampton.
The animals were found with similar injuries along Newbridge Crescent.
The severely injured bodies of the two felines were found just metres away from each other on October 10.
According to the RSPCA the cats were tied up by the legs.

One of them also had a cable tied around her neck and had endured severe trauma to her face and mouth, as though she had been hit with force or run over.
One of the cats, Tilly, was found by her distraught owners under a hedgerow.
The Charity PETA is offering the money.
PETA director Elisa Allen said: "It's imperative that any community faced with a cruel and callous act such as this take measures to find the culprit and bring them him or her to justice.
"Animal abusers are a danger to everyone – they take their issues out on whoever is available to them, human or non-human – and they must be caught before they act again."
The RSPCA are also investigating the death of the cats.
Inspector Nayman Dunderdale said: "Tilly had originally gone missing on October 8, and her owners were very worried as she usually came home after an hour and she never went far.
"I have spoken to the owners and they are heartbroken, especially the children who doted on her.
"They'd had her since she was only a kitten and they can't understand why someone would do this to an animal.
"It is very concerning that a second cat with similar injuries was also found.
"It would seem that somebody has moved the body of this cat and we urge them to contact us so we can examine the body.
"Very sadly it seems like these two cats' lives came to a very traumatic end as a result of deliberate cruelty. It is very disturbing that someone would do this."
Anyone with information about this case is encouraged to contact the RSPCA on 0300 123 8018.
