Their mission goes beyond fashion—they champion environmental responsibility through upcycling, offering a second life to gently used items and fostering a community that values sustainability. Their store thrives not only because of what’s on the racks, but the ethos that guiding each piece—“every quality, pre-loved treasure has a story.”

🏡 Laps & Naps: A Sanctuary for Senior Cats
.
Based in Black Mountain, Laps and Naps Home for Senior Cats Inc. provides a dignified, cage-free sanctuary for older cats, many coming from shelters or previous owners who could no longer care for them. Founded by three visionary women, the organization has since grown to a seven-member board and is working toward building a dedicated senior cat sanctuary on 5.5 acres.
.
Through the Laps & Naps Legacy Program, pet owners can even ensure their cats are cared for in the event of their own passing. In our interview, they shared heartfelt stories about fostering senior cats and how Blue Mountain’s community events offer a space where adopters and supporters can meet these gentle animals.
