Help Spirit See a Brighter Future

At just six weeks old, Spirit was found lying on the hot asphalt in the drive-through of a bakery. He was lethargic and dehydrated, and both of his tiny eyes were crusted completely shut. This kitten was alone, unable to see, and urgently needed help.

Gatos Borincoon rescued Spirit and rushed him to veterinary care. His condition was uncertain, he was hospitalized so he could receive the close attention and treatment he needed. After several days of care, Spirit began to perk up! He was finally showing everyone just how much fight was inside his little body.

Spirit has since been discharged and is continuing antibiotic eye cream while recovering in the rescue’s care. He has also received his first dose of deworming medication and will return to the vet in one week for a recheck. Although his progress is encouraging, it is still too soon to know whether his eyes have suffered lasting damage.

Spirit has already overcome a frightening start, but his journey is not finished. He will need continued medication, follow-up care, and careful monitoring as his rescuers learn more about his vision and overall health.

Please donate to help Gatos Borincoon cover Spirit’s hospitalization and ongoing veterinary care. Every contribution will help give this tiny survivor the chance to heal, see clearly, and grow into the happy kitten he deserves to be.

7/28/26 Update

Thanks to your incredible generosity, Spirit's fundraiser has reached its goal and is now officially closed. We are so grateful to everyone who donated, shared his story, and cheered him on throughout his journey.

Spirit hasn't had his follow up appointment just yet, but there is encouraging news. His eyes are already looking much better, and everyone is hopeful there won't be any permanent damage from the infection. He is scheduled for his follow up appointment on August 3rd, and he'll also be visiting the veterinarian this Thursday for a fecal test to make sure he's continuing to heal in every way.

Your support has made it possible for Spirit to receive the care he needs, and we can't thank you enough for giving this little kitten the chance to recover. We'll be thinking of him as he heads to his upcoming appointments and are so grateful to have such a compassionate community standing behind him.
