Tenri, who was first featured here in June of 2018, has found a home with the Shimaoka family of Hyogo Prefecture: father, Kenji, and his three children Kentaro, Yuna and Himari.
The petite brown tabby has since been rechristened Latte and came to the family at a time of immeasurable grief.
"My wife died suddenly of heart failure," says Kenji. "She wasn't ill or frail and it happened so suddenly it was a great shock. I was terribly lonely and knew my children had to be too."
