The Village of Howard in Wisconsin has launched an investigation following a distressing discovery of a deceased cat inside a backpack. According to officials, Howard Animal Control received a report from a kayaker who came across the backpack at Deerfield Docks on Wednesday.

The backpack, described as a small, gray carrier-style bag with mesh sides, was believed to have been left at the docks between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on the same day. The Village of Howard has refrained from disclosing details about the cat’s description publicly, mentioning only that it does not match any missing cat reports.
