Washington, DC - A three-month old female, brown tabby
kitten named Princess Jazzy was stolen from the Washington Humane
Society-Washington Animal Rescue League (WHS/WARL) Adoption Center on New York
Ave in NE Saturday afternoon. WHS/WARL is offering a $1,000 reward for
information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons
responsible for the theft.
“It is hard to believe that someone would commit such a
crime,” states Scott Giacoppo, Chief Community Welfare Officer for
WHS/WARL. “In addition to breaking the
law, they have put this kitten’s health in jeopardy by circumventing our easy
adoption process, and denying the kitten needed medical care.”
WHS/WARL is now appealing to the public to help get
Princess Jazzy back to the Adoption Center so that she can receive all the
medical procedures that go into the adoption process and to ensure that the
family that takes her fully understands her needs. Anyone with information is
urged to call 1- 202-576-6664.
