In Japan, photographer James R. Jones found a stray cat covered in fleas and ticks, with severe infections. He named the cat Chataro and brought him to the vet where they discovered he had feline leukemia. After surgery and daily treatment, Chataro is now healthy and loving. Socializing this once fearful cat took time and patience, but James describes him as his best buddy who brings him immense happiness. The heartwarming story shows the transformation of Chataro from a weak and scared stray to a happy and cuddly companion.
