A judgment for more than $500 was awarded Wednesday to the defendant in a small claims court lawsuit against the James River Humane Society.

However, the entire judgment amount was donated by a JRHS supporter.

Aron Williams sued the James River Humane Society for $10,000 after two of his kittens were taken there in September. One was adopted out, and he was told the shelter did not have the felines.

Southeast District Court Judge John T. Paulson awarded Williams $528.68 on Wednesday. Both parties involved received the letters on Thursday.

Williams said he will donate the money to a veterinary clinic.
