Sunday
Help Sunday Heal After a Suspected Hit and Run
Franklin, MA • Gatos Borincoon, Inc.
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. 8/11/26 Update 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. 8/13/26 Update 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.
Huey
Abandoned, Broken, and Still Fighting: Help Huey Get the Care He Deserves
Lauderhill, FL • Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc.
Someone left Huey on a bench outside Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation in nothing more than a carrier. There was no note. No explanation. Just a frightened little Yorkshire Terrier mix who could barely keep his balance. Huey was walking in circles, his eyes darting uncontrollably, and he struggled to stay on his feet without falling over. It was obvious something was terribly wrong. Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation immediately rushed him for veterinary care. Initial diagnostics, including X-rays, painted a heartbreaking picture. Not only was Huey suffering from serious neurological problems, but the imaging also revealed evidence of horrific trauma. Veterinarians found a fractured back, approximately seven new fractures and nearly twenty healed fractures, leading them to suspect that Huey had endured prolonged, severe abuse before he was abandoned. Despite everything he has been through, Huey has never stopped fighting. Huey was referred to a veterinary neurologist after showing persistent neurological signs, including involuntary eye movements (nystagmus), circling, difficulty walking, and suspected vision and hearing loss. While he has made encouraging progress with supportive care and antibiotics, he continues to circle in unfamiliar environments, has an abnormal high-stepping gait, and still shows signs of neurological impairment. After a comprehensive neurological examination, specialists determined that Huey's condition likely involves multiple areas of his brain, including the cerebellum, which controls coordination and movement. There are several possible causes, including previous head trauma, a brain infection, congenital abnormalities, a stroke, or another neurological disorder. While his improvement is encouraging, the exact cause remains unknown. Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation is continuing conservative management for now while Huey remains on antibiotics and restricted activity. Due to his previous spinal fractures, he must avoid jumping, rough play, and other high-impact activities while he continues to heal. One thing is abundantly clear: Huey has not given up. Even after everything he has endured, he greets his caregivers with a happy spirit and a determination that inspires everyone who meets him. His neurologist believes his quality of life is good and that he deserves every opportunity to continue his recovery. Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation is committed to giving Huey that chance, but they cannot do it alone. Your donation will help cover the cost of Huey's neurological evaluations, ongoing medications, follow-up care, diagnostic testing, and the specialized treatment he needs as veterinarians continue searching for answers. Huey has already survived unimaginable cruelty. Now he deserves compassion, healing, and hope. Please donate today to help this resilient little survivor continue his journey toward the safe, pain-free life he's always deserved. 7/23/26 Update After everything this little dog has endured, we're so grateful to share that Huey continues to make encouraging progress. While his recovery has been slow, it has also been filled with hope. Huey's neurological condition has improved with time, supportive care, and medication. Although he still faces significant challenges, he's adapting remarkably well. His veterinary team has determined that Huey is mostly deaf and mostly blind, though he is still able to detect shadows and navigate familiar surroundings with increasing confidence. Despite these lasting impairments, Huey's joyful personality continues to shine through. His journey is far from over. Huey will continue to need ongoing veterinary monitoring, medications, and follow-up veterinary care to ensure he remains comfortable and continues making progress. While some of the damage caused by the unimaginable abuse he suffered may be permanent, his improvement is a testament to the incredible difference that compassionate medical care and a safe, loving environment can make. Your continued support will help cover Huey's ongoing medical care, follow-up appointments, medications, and specialized treatment as he continues his recovery. Every donation—no matter the amount—helps Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation give this resilient little survivor the care he deserves. Please consider making a donation today. Together, we can help ensure Huey continues moving forward toward the happy, safe, and loved life he's fought so hard to find.
Fred
Fred's Hidden Wounds Nearly Cost Him His Life
West Palm Beach, FL • Cat & Release of Palm Beach County, Inc.
Fred is a community cat who has spent his life surviving outdoors. When his caregiver noticed what appeared to be an injury near the base of his tail, she knew he needed help and reached out to Cat & Release of Palm Beach County for help getting him veterinary care. What initially looked like a simple wound turned out to be a severe abscess that had already ruptured. The veterinary team cleaned and treated the area, and Fred was brought home to recover in a safe, quiet space. But Fred wasn't getting better. Despite treatment, he remained lethargic and had little interest in eating. Concerned that something was wrong, we rushed him back to the veterinarian. There, the team discovered a second abscess hidden beneath his fur on the opposite side of his body. The infection had become so severe that Fred was running a dangerously high fever of 105 degrees. This tough outdoor survivor had been suffering from multiple painful infections while trying to fend for himself. Fred is now receiving additional medical treatment, antibiotics, wound care, and close monitoring. He will remain indoors during his recovery, where he can finally rest and heal without the daily challenges of life on the streets. While Fred may be considered feral, he has shown a softer side throughout his ordeal. He enjoys gentle head pets and has allowed us to help him through what has undoubtedly been one of the most difficult times of his life. Cat & Release of Palm Beach County stepped in to ensure Fred received the care he desperately needed, but his veterinary expenses have quickly grown beyond what was expected. We are asking for your help to cover the cost of his examinations, treatment for multiple abscesses, medications, hospitalization, and ongoing recovery care. Every donation will help give Fred the chance to fully recover and return to a healthier future. Please donate today and help Fred continue his fight against these painful infections. 6/20/26 Update: Fred is doing so well! After five nights at the vet hospital due to a 105-plus temperature, Fred is doing much better. Despite the antibiotic injection, infection really took hold of him for a time and we were worried. The doctor wasn’t sure what was going on, but finally his temp went down. He’s in a back bedroom to recuperate, and he has started to play a when I wave the wand toy. Not too much, but he plays! Although I don’t need another cat, I cannot put him back where I found him so injured. It’s a dangerous place. Any help to cover vet bills will be very appreciated. 8/2/26 Update We have wonderful news to share—Fred is continuing to heal, and he's doing incredibly well! After everything he's endured, seeing this once-sick community cat regain his strength has been nothing short of amazing. His fur has grown back beautifully, his painful wounds have healed, and, best of all, the dangerously high fever that kept him hospitalized for five nights appears to be gone for good. While Fred is physically feeling much better, he's made one thing very clear—he doesn't miss life on the streets. Although he isn't exactly thrilled about sharing his space with other cats, his caregiver has made the decision that he will not be returned to the dangerous area where he was found so severely injured. After spending the past couple of months recovering indoors, Fred is staying safe where he belongs. It's been heartwarming to watch his personality emerge. Beneath his tough outdoor exterior is a very sweet, very handsome boy who has captured our hearts. None of this would have been possible without the support of compassionate donors who believed Fred deserved a second chance. Thank you for helping give him the medical care he needed when he was fighting multiple abscesses and a life-threatening infection. We're still working to pay off the veterinary bills from Fred's emergency hospitalization, medications, and ongoing treatment. If you're able to make a donation, no matter the amount, it will help Cat & Release of Palm Beach County continue saying "yes" to cats like Fred when they have nowhere else to turn. 8/13/26 Update Fred’s journey has been a long one, but today we’re so happy to share that this tough little survivor is safe, healing, and staying indoors for good. When Fred first came to Cat & Release of Palm Beach County, he was suffering from multiple painful abscesses and a dangerously high fever of more than 105 degrees. He spent five nights hospitalized while veterinarians worked to get his infection under control. It was a frightening time, and we weren’t sure what the outcome would be. Thankfully, Fred fought through it. His wounds have healed, his fur has grown back, and he is feeling so much better. He has even rediscovered his playful side, enjoying wand toys and gentle head pets from the person who has cared for him through his recovery. And Fred has made his wishes very clear: he does NOT want to go back outside. 😸 Although he isn't a fan of dogs or most other cats, Fred has a safe bedroom of his own and gets time to roam the house when it is quiet. He has even made peace with one cat roommate. After spending so long alone and vulnerable on the streets, he may never become the most social cat—but he has found someone he trusts, a safe place to call home, and a chance to live out the rest of his life without worrying about his next meal, dangerous surroundings, or untreated injuries. And that is a beautiful ending to Fred’s story. We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who donated to Fred’s campaign. Your generosity helped make it possible for him to receive the emergency hospitalization, veterinary care, medications, and treatment he desperately needed when he was at his sickest. Because of you, Fred didn't have to face those painful infections alone. You helped give this once-forgotten community cat a second chance—and a safe indoor life. From Fred, his caregiver, and everyone at Cat & Release of Palm Beach County, thank you for believing in him and helping him get to this much happier chapter. Fred is safe. Fred is healing. And Fred is home. ❤️
Chico
Chico is a 4 year old Mix-Breed in Chicago, IL, who needs $2,033 for Heartworm Disease Treatment - Fast Kill Method.
Chicago, IL
Chico’s owners lied and abandoned him like disposable property. He arrived neglected and traumatized, but transformed into the gentlest 80lb soul dog. He’s a gentle giant who adores kids, cats, and his anxious dog sister, showing her how to feel safe. Taking him unexpectedly kept him out of the shelter system—where he’d likely be euthanized. He healed a part of my heart I didn't know was broken. Chico arrived unchipped, unvaccinated, and with severe ear infections. Beyond treating his ears, when I finally took him for full care, he tested positive for heartworm. Based on respiratory & cardiac symptoms, the vet suspects he’s had it for over a year. We are seeking help to cure this treatable disease. He’s being treated by Dr. Henderson at Vetco Total Care. Chico is a total character who dramatically huffs and grunts like an 8-year-old before obeying. He follows me for bedtime, demanding his own pillow and close cuddles. Whenever I return home, he gets zoomies and grabs his favorite purple Kong bear for tug-of-war. Despite being terrified of thunder and the dark, he’s a gentle soul who lays his head in my lap when I cry. He’s my true soul dog! As a teacher, I get no pay for 4 months (June–mid-Sept). I'm 2.5 months behind on rent and facing wage garnishments. Side jobs aren't enough to cover his care and my living expenses. Chico is the heart of my world. Saving his life is what keeps my hope alive right now.
Penelope
Penelope Survived Unspeakable Cruelty—Now She Needs Your Help to Heal
Maryland, MD • Paws & Claws Animal Welfare Society Inc.
No kitten should ever have to endure what Penelope has been through. This tiny, innocent kitten was found wandering the streets in heartbreaking condition. Her neck was painfully twisted to one side, she could barely walk without stumbling in circles, and both of her eyes had ruptured. It was clear she was suffering immensely and desperately needed help. Thankfully, Paws and Claws Animal Welfare Society refused to look away. Penelope was rushed to the veterinarian, where bloodwork and X-rays revealed the devastating reality of her condition. Her veterinary team believes she suffered severe blunt-force trauma to the head, likely the result of abuse. The injury left her with neurological damage affecting her neck and balance, and a serious infection—combined with the trauma—is believed to have caused the rupture of both of her eyes. Despite everything she has endured, Penelope is still fighting. Right now, she is receiving intensive medical care, including IV fluids to keep her hydrated, vitamin B12 injections to support her recovery, antibiotics to battle the infection, and anti-inflammatory medications to reduce pain and swelling. Her veterinary team is focused on stabilizing her condition before taking the next critical step. Once Penelope is strong enough, she will undergo surgery to remove both of her damaged eyes. Although she will be permanently blind, cats are incredibly resilient, and with proper care, blind cats can live happy, joyful, and fulfilling lives. For Penelope, this surgery represents the beginning of a future without constant pain. She has already survived the unimaginable. Now she deserves the chance to truly live. Your donation will help cover Penelope's emergency diagnostics, hospitalization, medications, surgery, and the ongoing veterinary care she needs to recover. Every dollar brings her one step closer to comfort, healing, and a life where she will never have to suffer alone again. If you're unable to donate, sharing Penelope's story is another powerful way to help. Together, we can show this tiny survivor that the world can still be filled with kindness. Thank you for standing beside Penelope during the fight of her life. Your compassion is giving her the second chance she so desperately deserves. Update 7/14/2026 Penelope is still fighting! Unfortunately due to her condition she is still in the hospital and requires around the clock care from veterinarians. Every day she is getting stronger but this recovery process is not easy. We hope to bring her back to our facility soon so she can recover in a more peaceful environment. We thank you for all the donations thus far and ask you to continue sharing and donating! 7/22/26 Update We're so happy to share an encouraging update on sweet Penelope. After spending time hospitalized receiving around-the-clock veterinary care, Penelope has now returned to Paws & Claws Animal Welfare Society, where she is continuing her recovery in a quieter, more comfortable environment. While her journey is far from over, Penelope is making steady progress. She remains on several medications as her veterinary team continues treating her injuries and carefully monitoring her condition. One of the most important goals right now is helping her slowly gain weight and build her strength so she will be healthy and stable enough to undergo the eye surgery she still desperately needs. Perhaps the most heartwarming update is that Penelope's personality is beginning to shine through. Despite everything she has endured, this resilient little kitten has started playing with the shelter volunteers and is becoming more comfortable each day. Watching her discover toys, interact with people, and simply enjoy being a kitten is a beautiful reminder of why every step of her recovery is worth fighting for. Although these milestones are encouraging, Penelope still has a long road ahead. She will continue to need medications, supportive care, good nutrition, and ongoing veterinary monitoring as she prepares for surgery and continues her healing journey. Your generosity has already given Penelope a chance she never would have had on her own. If you're able, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to help cover the cost of her continued medical care, upcoming surgery, and recovery. Every contribution brings this brave little girl one step closer to a life free from pain. If you aren't able to donate, sharing Penelope's story is another wonderful way to help. Thank you for standing beside Penelope and helping give this tiny survivor the second chance she so deserves. 7/29/26 Update Sweet Penelope continues to show us just how resilient she truly is. Over the past week, we've started to see small but encouraging improvements. Penelope remains on medication to help manage the neurological damage caused by the severe trauma she endured, including the nerve damage responsible for her head tilt. While she still has a long way to go, we're happy to report that she is beginning to show signs of improvement. Recovery from this type of injury is a slow process, and there is no quick fix. Her veterinary team is continuing to monitor her closely as she heals, and she will likely need ongoing medication, supportive care, and regular veterinary evaluations for quite some time. Every tiny milestone is a victory, and we're celebrating each one alongside her. Despite everything she's been through, Penelope continues to amaze us with her gentle spirit. She has never stopped fighting, and her determination reminds us every day why we refused to give up on her. Your kindness has already made an incredible difference in Penelope's life, but her journey is far from over. The cost of her ongoing medications, follow-up veterinary visits, specialized care, and eventual surgery continues to add up. If you're able, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to help us continue providing Penelope with the care she needs throughout her long recovery. Every gift, no matter the size, helps ensure this brave little kitten has every opportunity to heal and live the happy, pain-free life she deserves. If donating isn't possible, sharing Penelope's story with your family and friends is another wonderful way to help. Thank you for believing in this incredible little survivor and for standing beside her every step of the way.

Onyx
Onyx Deserves Better
Murphy, TX • CAMO Rescue
This is Onyx. Onyx was recently found severely neglected and uncared for, for far too long. CAMO Rescue stepped right up and took this 1 lb guy in for some serious TLC. Underneath the fleas, hair loss, and eye infection, we know there is a sweet kitty who is begging to find his soft place to land. Though we haven’t known him long, we already see a personality shining through and we are hopeful you get to see it too. This course of treatment will not be instant, and several follow up appointments and medications will be necessary which is why we need your help! CAMO continues to take in severely neglected animals, and while we love doing it, it gets expensive. With your help Onyx can see clearly, live comfortably, and regrow the fur he should have. Thank you for allowing us to continue to say yes to furry friends like these.
Grandma
Grandma Survived the Streets. Now She Needs Your Help to Eat Without Pain.
West Palm Beach, FL • Adopt A Cat Foundation
For years, a quiet gray cat known as Grandma has called a South Florida cat colony home. No one knows exactly how old she is, but her caretakers lovingly gave her the nickname "Grandma" because she appears to be the mother—and perhaps even the grandmother—to many of the younger cats who share the colony with her. While she has spent her life outdoors, Grandma isn't truly wild. Like so many community cats, she depends on the kindness of people to survive. For years, dedicated caretakers fed and watched over the colony. When those caretakers sadly passed away earlier this year, the future of dozens of cats was suddenly uncertain. Thankfully, members of the local rescue community stepped in to continue providing food and monitoring the colony's health. That's when they noticed Grandma was struggling. Instead of eagerly eating like the others, she began showing unmistakable signs of dental pain. Her tongue would hang out after trying to eat, and she made repeated chewing motions even when her mouth was empty. One of her teeth appeared to be sticking out, likely loose and incredibly painful. Her once-neat gray coat became unkempt, and she began losing weight—a heartbreaking sign that eating had simply become too painful. Getting Grandma to safety wasn't easy. Naturally cautious and frightened of people, she avoided the humane trap day after day. For three long days, volunteers patiently waited as every other cat wandered under the trap for a meal while Grandma stayed just out of reach. Finally, tempted by the irresistible smell of a sardine, she cautiously stepped inside—and the trap door gently closed behind her. Now, for the first time in years, Grandma has a chance to find relief. Adopt A Cat Foundation graciously stepped in to hold Grandma and ensure she receives the veterinary care she desperately needs. Next week, she will undergo a comprehensive dental procedure, where the veterinary team will examine her mouth, remove painful diseased or broken teeth, and finally free her from the constant pain that has made every meal a struggle. A healthy mouth means so much more than comfort. It means Grandma can eat without suffering, regain the weight she's lost, groom herself again, and return to her colony feeling like herself once more. After years of quietly raising generations of cats and surviving life on the streets, Grandma deserves this chance to heal. Your donation today will help cover Grandma's dental procedure and give this resilient colony matriarch the comfort she has gone far too long without. Every gift, no matter the size, brings Grandma one step closer to eating pain-free again. 8/10/26 Update After years of surviving outdoors and quietly caring for generations of cats in her colony, Grandma finally got the relief she so desperately needed. Grandma recently went in for her dental procedure, and veterinarians discovered that the loose front tooth causing her so much pain needed to be removed. Thankfully, the rest of her teeth were in great condition, so no additional extractions were necessary! While she was at the clinic, Grandma also received an updated rabies vaccination and a comprehensive SNAP test. We’re happy to share that she tested negative for FIV, FeLV, and heartworm. ❤️ Most importantly, Grandma can finally eat without the constant pain that had made every meal such a struggle. No more chewing motions when there’s no food in her mouth, no more struggling with a painful loose tooth, and no more discomfort every time she tries to eat. Now that she has received the care she needed, Grandma can return to the outdoor colony she knows and loves. It’s where this cautious kitty is happiest and most comfortable—and she’ll be going back healthier, stronger, and pain-free. After everything Grandma has endured, she deserved this chance at comfort. Thank you for helping make Grandma’s care possible! Your generosity helped give this sweet colony matriarch the veterinary care she needed and ensured that she could return home feeling so much better. Every donation made a difference in Grandma’s journey from suffering to relief. 🐾❤️
Spirit
Help Spirit Recover from Anemia, Infection, and a Difficult Start
Franklin, MA • Gatos Borincoon, Inc.
At just six weeks old, Spirit was found lying on the hot asphalt in the drive thru of a bakery. He was lethargic, severely dehydrated, and both of his tiny eyes were crusted completely shut. Alone, unable to see, and too weak to move, this little kitten desperately needed someone to notice him. Thankfully, Gatos Borincoon did. They rushed Spirit to the vet, where he was hospitalized and given the intensive care he needed to survive. After several days of treatment, this tiny fighter began to show everyone just how strong he really is. Since then, Spirit has continued to battle one obstacle after another. At his recent follow up appointment, the good news was that he tested negative for both parasites and feline leukemia. Those results were a huge relief. Unfortunately, his fight isn't over yet. Spirit was found to be anemic and is now taking daily Amino B-Plex to help support his recovery. He is also being treated for lice and ear mites, and despite everything he's already overcome, he is still struggling with a respiratory infection that causes persistent nasal congestion. His eyes continue to have discharge, requiring antibiotic eye drops, and he remains on oral antibiotics as he works toward a full recovery. While Spirit is improving every day, he still has a long road ahead. He has another follow up appointment in 14 days, and his most recent vet visit was far more expensive than expected due to the additional diagnostic testing needed to determine exactly what this tiny kitten was facing. Despite everything, Spirit hasn't given up. Day by day, he's growing stronger thanks to the dedicated care of his rescuers. Your donation will help cover Spirit's hospitalization, diagnostic testing, medications, follow up appointments, and any additional veterinary care he may need as he continues to heal. Spirit has already beaten incredible odds. With your support, he can continue his journey toward a healthy, happy life. 8/8/26 Update We are incredibly grateful to everyone who donated and helped make Spirit’s care possible. When this tiny kitten was found lying on hot asphalt at just six weeks old, dehydrated, unable to see and too weak to move, we didn’t know what his future would hold. Thanks to Gatos Borincoon, his veterinary team, and all of you who supported his fundraiser, Spirit was able to receive the hospitalization, testing, medications and continued care he desperately needed. We’re happy to share that Spirit is looking so much better now! His eyes have been responding very well to the drops, and his rescuers are incredibly relieved that they were able to get him treatment in time to protect his vision. After everything this little guy has been through, seeing his progress has been amazing. Spirit still has a follow up appointment in two weeks to check on his recovery and hopefully continue moving forward with his routine care, but he has already come such a long way from the tiny kitten found helpless in that drive thru. Thank you for being part of Spirit’s story and giving Gatos Borincoon the support they needed to act quickly and get him the care he deserved. Every donation helped give this little fighter a chance, and we are so grateful to everyone who showed up for him.
