🐾 Happy National Cat Day to our beloved office cat, Beans! 🐾
Beans began her journey as a feral cat who was trapped, treated, and welcomed to Flanders as a barn cat. Then, one especially cold winter day about four years ago, she was invited inside the office. She quickly made herself at home and has never looked back!
Since then, Beans has become an important part of the Flanders family. Whether she’s greeting visitors, supervising staff meetings, napping in a sunny spot, or simply reminding us to take a moment to appreciate the little things, she brings joy to everyone who meets her.
We’re so grateful this once-feral feline found her forever home with us. Happy National Cat Day, Beans! ❤️🐱
