💔 Rest in Peace, Sweet Boy 💔

Earlier today, a community member found an injured cat on Highway 70 near Spooner, Wisconsin, right at the intersection by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) building.
We immediately rushed him to the vet to get emergency care. Sadly, despite the veterinary team's best efforts, his injuries were too severe, and there was nothing more they could do to save him. The vet helped him pass peacefully and free from pain.
We are heartbroken, but we are thankful he was not alone and received comfort in his final moments. We are sharing this post in hopes of finding his family so we can give them closure.

🐾 Description:
• S*x: Male
• Coat: Tricolor, long hair
• Collar/Tags: None
• Microchip: Checked, but no microchip found

If you believe this might be your pet, or if you have any information, please call 715 635-4720 and leave a message and we'll return your call as soon as possible.
Thank you to the kind person who found him and brought him to us so he could be helped. Please keep this sweet boy in your thoughts today. 🌈✨

UPDATE 10/13/26- All surgery appointments for this clinic date have been filled!

$25 SPAY AND NEUTER APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE IN HAYWARD ON OCTOBER 29TH!

Do you have multiple cats at home that still need to be spayed or neutered?

Purple Cat Vet is offering a special $25 per cat spay and neuter clinic at our Hayward location on October 29th!

* This clinic is for households that have 3 or more cats that need to be spayed or neutered. * You must schedule at 3 cats on October 29th at our Hayward location to receive the discounted surgery price. *

There are no county or residency restrictions.

The cost is $25 per cat. This is a nonrefundable deposit that must be paid in advance to reserve your appointment. Generous recent donations and grant funding will cover the remaining cost of the surgery.

Vaccine Requirement:
All cats must be vaccinated for distemper/FVRCP prior to scheduling surgery. Owners are responsible for the cost of any vaccines needed before surgery.
You can learn more about our vaccine requirements and walk-in vaccine clinics here: https://www.purplecatvet.com/low-cost-vaccine-clinics/

Appointments are limited and will be filled based on availability. Appointments can be requested at purplecatvet.com.

If you have been putting off getting several cats spayed or neutered because of the cost, this clinic is designed to help make it more manageable.

Have just one or two cats? You can still request an appointment, and Purple Cat Vet’s regular spay and neuter pricing remains affordable throughout the year.

Please share this with anyone who may have multiple cats that still need to be spayed or neutered!
