CHICAGO (STMW) -- Waukegan police are looking for the person who left a dead cat hanging from a tree last week in the northern suburb.

Fat Cat Rescue, an anti-cruelty organization in Lake County, is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in the case, according to the group's Facebook page.

Anyone with information should call Waukegan police at (847) 360-9000, or Fat Cat Rescue at (708) 305-5049.
