Underneath her initial reserve lies a remarkably affectionate and endearing personality.

Love is a sweet young male cat. He sports a serene shade of grey, adorned with delicate white markings around his charming pink nose. His captivating emerald-green eyes are impossible to resist. He is playful and affectionate, yearning for a secure garden haven to frolic in and bask in the golden sunshine.
