Taro found himself in trouble due to human indifference – he was abandoned near a store in a disadvantaged area, where discarded animals often meet tragic fates. It’s likely that he once had a home, as he is completely tame and social. Fortunately, he was rescued in time, but examinations revealed serious illnesses: the leukemia and immunodeficiency viruses. Right now, leukemia is in an active phase, and he needs to take medication regularly to maintain his strength and quality of life.

A Friend with a Big Heart

Despite his illnesses and the stress he has endured, Taro remains a loving, playful, and sociable kitty. He reaches out to people and easily connects with other animals. He can live with other cats who have the same diagnoses as he does, or he can be the only animal in the household.

Be a Hero for Taro

Taro is looking for someone who won't be scared off by his diagnoses and will give him a chance at a happy life. Consider providing him with a promotional package so that more people can learn about him – and that special someone can find him sooner.
