Meet Basil. This senior, crinkle-eared brown tabby landed in foster care after her person died a few months back. She came in wary and reserved, but as the days stretched on, she started to relax and show her gentle spirit. Basil’s ear—permanently crumpled from untreated ear mites and what was probably a long bout of pain—gives her a unique look, but what really matters is that her infections are finally gone. She’ll need regular ear cleanings going forward to prevent problems. Basil is estimated to be at least 10. She feels safest in a quiet, patient home and does just fine with calm cats and older, considerate children. She isn’t a cat who seeks out chaos or loud voices, but give her some time, and she’ll open up and settle in nicely. For anyone looking to give a sweet, slightly quirky senior a gentle retirement, Basil might be just the cat you’re looking for. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
