This is the story of a stray cat with a big heart... and a bit of a smell. Although his scruffy fur and stinky smell make people turn him away wherever he goes, he keeps searching for a place to belong and never stops dreaming of a cozy place to call home. One day, he meets a kindhearted boy shooting hoops in his backyard. The boy doesn’t seem to mind his scruffiness or smell, and for the first time, the stray thinks that he may have finally found a home.
