About Basil

Meet Basil! This charming little fellow entered foster care as a bottle baby alongside his two siblings, and he has thrived ever since. While his sister is already set for adoption, Basil's brother Parsley is still looking for a loving home. Raised in a lively foster environment with an array of cats and dogs, Basil knows how to play nice with others. He has even spent time around young kids, proving to be gentle and friendly, making him a great companion for families. Basil strikes a delightful balance between being affectionate and independent. You can catch him purring in your lap one minute or exploring his surroundings the next. His playful side shines through as he chases after cat springs and takes daring climbs on his cat tree. Plus, he has a soft spot for treats; if you offer him Temptations, you might just earn his heart! Scheduled to be neutered on October 16th, Basil is already accepting early adoption applications. Could this sweet boy be the missing piece to your family? Located on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, he can also be transported to the northeast. His adoption fee is $300.
