We rescue older cats and connect them with loving families so they may live out their lives with comfort and dignity.
LNHSC is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) volunteer-based animal welfare organization dedicated to providing a loving, cage-free home environment to senior cats, ages 9 years or older.
In addition to accepting cats from owners who can no longer care for them, LNHSC transfers in senior cats from animal shelters to provide them with care meeting their emotional and physical needs.
Our aim to be a model for the humane care of cats in their later years, and to build a cat-focused sanctuary facility with the feel of a retirement home for short- and long-term care.
In 2019, a few like-minded souls came together to create Laps and Naps Home for Senior Cats, with a shared vision of giving older cats a second chance.
What started with a handful of foster caretakers and word-of-mouth engagement has blossomed into a lifeline for over 350 senior cats in 2025.
Now we’re launching our next phase – creating a peaceful, cagefree retirement home for treatment, adoptions, and short- and long-term housing.
It is an honor to serve this population of cats that is often forgotten. Senior cats have so much wisdom to offer… they teach us all how to age more gracefully… to enjoy the quiet pleasures of sunshine, restful naps, and simply being present with those we love.
“Gizmo is such a loving cat! He has kidney disease, and gets medicine for his arthritis and his thyroid, which is now stable. As an 11-year-old cat, our vet feels that we have achieved a balance in his life that is great for him and he should have a healthy and happy life yet. He is well loved.ˮ
“This summer, we trapped three older cats from a huge colony. When we find a senior cat in need, we reach out to Laps & Naps because we know theyʼll have our backs. Today, those three cats are sunbathing in windows, getting the love they always deserved, and living the lives they should have had from the start.”
“Fostering brings me so much joy, so much fulfillment. I love helping, and I donʼt have to leave home to do it.”
“My wife and I have always wanted to ensure our cats had a loving place if something were to happen to us. Working with an organization dedicated to providing senior cats a wonderful home is deeply meaningful to us.”
