Every day, we see heartbreaking stories of kittens that life hasn’t been kind to. They’ve been dealt bad cards and their lives ended prematurely in the harsh wild. One such kitten would have surely turned up dead if it hadn’t arrived outside a kind man’s house.

Named Chataro, he appeared in the man’s yard 4 years ago. The kitten was covered in ticks and fleas and infected with mange too. Had he not appeared on the man’s doorstep, it would have died for sure. The man took it to the vet where it was discovered that the kitten had leukemia too. Infections on his teeth and eyes left no other solution than surgery. Chataro was nearly dead, but the vets saved his life.

Four years later, he’s a perfectly healthy cat. He still needs drops every day for his eyes, but he’s come a long way. Chataro was lucky to have found a guy who gave him the love and attention he needed at the time. He’s a beautiful cat right now with slight imperfections, but perfectly happy and loved.

We’re glad that this story ended on a beautiful note when it could have ended badly. All we need is love, so don’t shoo a tiny kitten from your home when it appears – it needs all the love and affection it can get. In return, you will get a buddy for life.
