Bean is a sweet 12-year-old indoor cat. She is friendly, affectionate, playful, and is a good conversationalist and lap companion. She tends to run somewhat anxious about certain things: namely vets, car rides, and kids.
Bean needed a new home because she has not adjusted well to having twin toddlers in the house. She has lived with other cats, but may make an adjustment to a new home quicker if there are no other animals. She would do well in a peaceful environment.
Bean is currently being fostered in Charlotte, NC and her foster mom is working to resolve Bean's digestive issues that were, in part, related to her stress over living in a house with very young children.
If you are interested in adopting Bean, please send an email to info@lapsandnaps.org or call 828-447-1230.
Butter is a shy but sweet 12-year-old neutered male orange tabby, currently in a foster home in Burnsville, NC..

If you are interested in adopting Butter and/or Morgan, please send an email to info@lapsandnaps.org or call 828-447-1230.

Kai is a very sweet 10-year-old seal point Siamese in need of a new home because of a recent diagnosis of Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC) which is brought on by stress.
