Here’s what his foster volunteer says about him:<br/><br/>How would you describe the cat's general personality? Beau is extremely loving, happy and affectionate. He enjoys being with people, whether sitting curled up next to them, or on a lap.

Yes, he will spend as much time in bed as I am there, and will frequently curl up next to me<br/><br/>Does the cat seek your attention? Yes, he absolutely loves people and is very much an active companion<br/><br/>Does the cat like to play? Yes, he loves catnip and also running around after string-based toys<br/><br/>What are the cat's favorite games and toys?
