Zaki is a sweet, special soul. He is a mellow guy who would love to end up in a mellow home. Zaki is extremely affectionate and bonds deeply with his people. He’s sweet, easy to handle, and a joy to have around. He loves to be held on your lap or just lie nearby while you're working. He lived with a cat for the first half of his life, and they got along well.

Zaki has low vision due to cataracts, and he sometimes stumbles a bit in new spaces, but once he's had a chance to orient himself, he gets around just fine. He has excellent hearing and responds quickly to his name! Zaki was being treated for lymphoma but is now in remission.

Zaki came to POMDR as a guardian surrender. His former guardian's health had declined and she was no longer able to meet Zaki's needs in addition to her own.
