Help Sunday Heal After a Suspected Hit and Run

Sunday was found badly injured near a dangerous road, and her injuries suggest she may have been the victim of a hit and run.

A caretaker with Gatos Borincoon spotted Sunday near one of the cat colonies they care for and immediately knew something was wrong.

The colony is home to TNVR cats as well as cats who are unfortunately abandoned in the area. Gatos Borincoon and their caretakers regularly look after the cats living there, and when friendly strays, abandoned cats or kittens are found, they work to get them into foster homes and somewhere safe.

When Sunday was found, her injuries made it appear that she may have been hit by a car. She was named Sunday for the day she was rescued and was quickly brought to the vet to find out just how badly she had been hurt.

Thankfully, the veterinary team did not find a spinal fracture, but Sunday is still dealing with significant injuries. X-rays revealed that her jaw is dislocated, and there are also concerns about a possible injury to her tail.

Sunday was given Convenia, an antibiotic, along with medication to help manage her pain. She is now being closely monitored by her caretaker to make sure she is able to eat soft food, urinate and have bowel movements normally. If she does not show positive improvement, she will need to return to the emergency vet.

For a cat who was found injured outside with no one to call her own, having someone notice her and act quickly may have made all the difference. Gatos Borincoon was able to get Sunday the veterinary attention she needed and make sure she had a safe place to be monitored while she recovers.

Sunday is safe for now, but her recovery is just beginning. Her caretaker will continue watching her closely while her medical team determines what additional veterinary care she may need for her jaw, tail and other injuries.

Please consider donating to Sunday’s fundraiser to help Gatos Borincoon cover the veterinary care she has already received and any additional treatment she may need as she recovers. Every donation, no matter the amount, helps them continue responding quickly when colony cats like Sunday are found injured and in need of help.

Sunday's recovery has unfortunately hit a difficult point. She has been refusing to eat, although her caretaker was able to encourage her to take a small amount of slurry. Because of the concern surrounding her appetite, Sunday is being taken back to the vet for another evaluation.

We also have more information about the extent of her injuries. In addition to her injured tail, Sunday's jaw was displaced. She was sedated so the medical team could take X-rays, which confirmed a jaw luxation. While she was under sedation, the vet was able to manually reduce the luxation and reposition her jaw.

The veterinary team has recommended that Sunday be evaluated by an orthopedic specialist, but unfortunately, the cost of specialized care is beyond what the rescue can afford right now. For the moment, her caretaker is monitoring her closely and doing everything possible to keep her comfortable while they determine what her next steps will be.

Sunday has already been through so much, and her road to recovery isn't close to over yet. Please continue to keep this sweet girl in your thoughts. If you're able to donate or share her campaign, your support can help Gatos Borincoon continue getting Sunday the veterinary care she needs.

Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared, and followed Sunday's journey. Your support truly makes a difference for cats like her.

Thanks to all of you, Sunday’s Waggle fundraiser has been fully funded!

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who donated, shared her story, and supported Gatos Borincoon as they worked to get Sunday the veterinary care she desperately needed.

Sunday still has healing and recovering ahead of her. After everything her body has been through, including her displaced jaw and injured tail, her caretaker will continue monitoring her closely and making sure she has the time, care, and support she needs as she recovers.

While we don’t know exactly what Sunday’s recovery will look like from here, we do know that she is no longer injured and alone near a dangerous road. She is safe, she is being cared for, and she has people looking out for her every step of the way.

Your donations helped make that possible. Because of your generosity, Gatos Borincoon can receive reimbursement for Sunday’s veterinary expenses and continue focusing on helping her heal.

Thank you for showing up for a cat you may never meet and giving her a chance when she needed it most. Sunday still has a road ahead of her, but she doesn’t have to travel it alone.

From Sunday and everyone at Gatos Borincoon, thank you for being part of her story and helping give this sweet girl the care and kindness she deserves.
