Meet Beans, the self- appointed ruler of the vet office and master of cat naps. Beans arrived at the clinic purely by chance-or perhaps fate. With a keen eye for cozy spots and an uncanny ability to detect treat bags being opened from a mile away. Beans quickly made himself at home. 

Now a permanent fixture he spends his days patrolling the office (aka lounging on keyboards), offering unsolicited advice to the vet staff, and keeping all patients-whether dog, cat or human under his watchful gaze. Beans has a gift for calming anxious pets with a single slow blink, and he's even been known to 'help' by sitting on medical charts and approving them with a paw. 

Though Beans pretends to be aloof, he secretly loves belly rubs and will never say no to a chin scratch. Just don't be surprised if he steals your seat the moment you get up-Beans believes in seizing every opportunity, especially if it involves a warm spot to nap.
