Staff members named him Hadley and raised more than $10,000 to cover his care.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>With assistance from People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals, a reward was offered to catch the person who burned the cat, but no perpetrator was found. Hadley gradually recovered and found companionship with Minnie, a black cat who arrived at the Humane Society in in February 2010 with an injured front leg.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The two cats are now "inseparable," said Nicole Cook, HSWM's marketing and events coordinator, and are up for adoption as a pair. An announcement went up Tuesday on Hadley's Facebook page -- he's become a bit of a social-media icon for the Humane Society -- with a link to adoption information on the HSWM website.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://hswestmi.org/adopt.htm">http://hswestmi.org/adopt.htm</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Cook said there has been a lot of interest so far. The Humane Society will accept applications from anybody interested in adopting the pair through April 26. The cats will require special care, but are plenty sociable.
