About Bean

Bean is seeking a patient adopter who knows that trust takes time. She prefers a quiet home where she can adjust at her own pace. Initially wary of new people, Bean reveals her sweet nature once she feels comfortable. This loyal companion enjoys snuggling under the blankets but values her personal space. Gentle affection on her terms is what she likes best, and she’ll let you know when it’s time to back off. While she has cohabited peacefully with other cats, she doesn't seek out their company. Dogs, on the other hand, are not her favorite. When it’s playtime, her shyness fades as she loves to chase wand toys. If you’re ready to give Bean the time and patience she needs, you'll find a wonderful, snuggly friend in her. Remember, Bean is a special case; she’ll thrive in a home without young children and requires an adopter who is familiar with the unique needs of cats like her. Following a behavior plan will help ensure everyone in the home is happy. Ready to meet her? Visit during our adoption hours, or apply to adopt remotely. Click apply to start the adoption process.
