WILLS POINT (CBSDFW.COM) - The SPCA of Texas is offering $2,000 as a reward to the person or people who provide information leading to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrator(s) who has allegedly severely burned a cat in the Cochise Village neighborhood of Wills Point on March 11, 2014. The cat has third degree burns down its back and on its ears, and is currently in the care of a veterinarian, according to a press release.
