A Fresh Start Begins With Relief From Pain

They survived life on the streets, but now they are living with daily pain that cannot be ignored.

Daniel, Angelo, Nube, Teddy, and Cheeto were all once community cats, strays, or abandoned, left without access to basic veterinary care. Now thanks to Gatos Borincoon, they are safe, the extent of their dental disease has come to light, and they urgently need treatment.

Five cats in our care are dealing with dental issues, and four of them are FIV positive, making proper and timely care even more important.

Daniel, Angelo, and Nube have been diagnosed with severe tartar buildup and require COHAT procedures with extractions under anesthesia.

Angelo is suffering from stomatitis, with severe tartar and plaque, painful inflammation, and red gums that make eating difficult.

Nube has severe tartar and plaque, along with erupted upper canines, significant gingival recession, and gingivitis.

Daniel is also in need of dental extractions due to severe tartar.

Teddy and Cheeto require dental cleanings. Teddy has moderate tartar, and Cheeto has mild tartar that still needs to be addressed.

We are asking for your support to help us with their care. Donations will go directly toward anesthesia, extractions, cleanings, and the medical treatment they need.

Please consider donating to support Daniel, Angelo, Nube, Teddy, and Cheeto’s dental care. Every dollar helps bring them closer to a life free from constant pain.

Let’s give these cats the comfort and relief they have gone so long without.

5/26/26 Update

We have some wonderful news to share about Daniel, Angelo, Nube, Teddy, and Cheeto!

Thanks to your support, the FIV-positive cats in our care have now received the dental treatment they so urgently needed. After living on the streets without access to veterinary care, they had been enduring daily pain from severe dental disease for far too long.

Their procedures were extensive and costly, but we are encouraged by the progress they have made so far. Angelo, Daniel, and Nube all underwent major dental work, including extractions, while Teddy and Cheeto received the cleanings they needed to help prevent further pain and complications.

While their recovery is still ongoing, they have been healing well and are beginning to enjoy a greater level of comfort than they have experienced in a very long time. We recently captured some sweet moments of a few of them playing and relaxing in a loving home environment, something that once felt impossible for these former street cats.

Seeing these cats safe, cared for, and moving forward on their healing journey is exactly what we hoped for when we first asked for help. However, their medical care does not end here. Continued monitoring, follow-up treatment, and the everyday costs of caring for special-needs cats remain an ongoing need.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who donated, shared, and supported this fundraiser. Your kindness made these life-changing procedures possible and is helping give these cats the chance to continue recovering in comfort and safety.

Thank you for being part of their journey and for helping us provide the care they still need.

7/19/26 Update: Angelos already adopted!

Good news for 2 of the FIV cats!Angelo and Nube have been adopted. We still have lingering vet bills from these 4 boys. And hoping that Teddy and Daniel soon get some interest. Cheeto is in a different foster and he is proving to be a very loving cat. His past nearly forgotten.

7/31/26 Update: Cheeto getting interviewed for adoption

We have exciting news! Sunday is Cheeto's turn to get his adoption interview. He has overcome so much with the help of donors like you we have been able to help him from urinary clog to dental issues, Cheeto has not walked an easy path living as a stray took a toll on his health but now he is healthy and loving. We are very happy for his recovery and prospects of a great forever home. Angelo and Nube already been adopted and we still wait for Teddy and Daniel to find their special someone that will adopt these FIV+ cats.

8/8/26 Update

We have another wonderful update to share about Daniel, Angelo, Nube, Teddy, and Cheeto.

All five cats have now received the dental care they needed, and we are so happy to share that three of them have officially been adopted! Angelo and Nube found their families, and after recently sharing that Cheeto had an adoption interview coming up, we can now say that he has found his forever home too.

For cats who once lived as strays, community cats, or were abandoned without access to the veterinary care they needed, seeing three of them healthy and in loving homes is an incredible outcome.

There are still two members of this group waiting for their turn. Daniel and Teddy remain in the care of Gatos Borincoon and are still searching for the special families who will give these FIV positive boys the homes they deserve. We hope to have some new photos to share soon as they continue waiting.

While the cats have received the dental treatment they needed, Gatos Borincoon still needs help covering the cost of that care. The rescue stepped up and made sure these five boys received treatment when they needed it rather than waiting for the fundraiser to be fully funded. As a result, they are still paying down the rescue credit card used toward their veterinary expenses.

Their treatments may be behind them, but their vet bills are not.

If you’ve been following their journey and haven’t had a chance to donate yet, please consider making a contribution today. Every donation will help Gatos Borincoon pay down the remaining costs of the veterinary care that gave these cats relief from their dental pain and helped prepare them for brighter futures.

Three of these boys are now enjoying the forever homes they waited so long for, and we’re hoping Daniel and Teddy will be next. Your support can help Gatos Borincoon finish covering the care that made these happy endings possible while they continue caring for the two boys still waiting.

Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared, and supported them so far. We’ve made incredible progress, but we still need your help to reach our fundraising goal.

Cheeto enjoying his new forever home:
