Help Danny Heal From His Persistent Neck Wound

Danny was supposed to be a TNVR cat, but somewhere along the way, this sweet boy made it clear that life had something different in store for him.

When Gatos Borincoon first found Danny in one of their trapping areas, he was in rough shape. His skin was painful and irritated, and what initially appeared to be a severe case of mites or scabies required far more than the routine neuter and vaccinations he would normally receive before being returned outdoors.

Danny's first Waggle fundraiser helped his rescue cover that initial care, and thanks to incredible donors, it was fully funded and automatically closed. But Danny's medical journey wasn't finished.

Although his overall condition has improved significantly, a wound on Danny's neck has been stubbornly refusing to heal as expected. As his rescuers continued monitoring him, they began to suspect that the injury may not have been caused by scabies or parasites at all. Based on its appearance and slow healing, there is concern that Danny may have suffered some type of burn injury, although exactly what happened to him before he was rescued may never be known.

Danny recently returned to the veterinarian for another evaluation and received a wound barrier treatment to protect his injured neck and encourage healing. He was able to return home afterward and is scheduled for a follow-up in approximately two weeks so his veterinary team can evaluate his progress and determine whether additional treatment is needed.

Thankfully, there is also some wonderful news to share about this boy.

As Danny has recovered and spent more time safely in the rescue's care, his personality has started to blossom. The community cat who was originally expected to return outdoors is turning into quite the little lovebug, and Danny is now considered adoptable.

For Gatos Borincoon, whose primary mission is TNVR, being able to help Danny beyond his original treatment has given him an entirely different opportunity. Instead of simply healing enough to return to life outdoors, Danny now has the chance to finish his recovery and eventually find a family of his own.

This new fundraiser will help cover Danny's continued veterinary care and treatment for his neck wound, including his recent wound care, upcoming recheck, and any additional treatment his veterinarian recommends as he continues healing.

Danny has already come such a long way, but his care isn't finished yet. Please consider donating and sharing his campaign to help Gatos Borincoon continue giving this sweet boy everything he needs to heal and move toward the indoor future he has shown everyone he is ready for.
