He remains incredibly affectionate and loving, longing for human companionship and eagerly bonding with other cats. His past doesn't haunt him; instead, he lives in the moment, ready to shower his new family with the warmth he's always craved. Lateef is neutered, microchipped, and litter-box-trained.
