About Basil the Purrito

Meet Basil the Purrito! Basil came into foster care as a tiny bottle baby, lovingly cared for until he was big enough to wean. His siblings are finding new homes, and he's looking for his forever family next! Raised in a busy and affectionate environment, he's shared his space with other kittens, adult cats, and two friendly dogs around 30 lbs. Basil adapts well to different situations and has shown he can handle the company of both 3-year-olds and 6-year-olds beautifully. This adorable little guy perfectly balances being cuddly and independent. He enjoys being with people but also loves his alone time. When he’s not busy with his foster siblings, you'll find him playing with cat springs, climbing his cat tree, or napping in cozy spots. If you bring out Temptation treats, expect to win his heart swiftly! Basil is scheduled to be neutered on October 16th but is already open for early adoption applications. Could Basil be the sweet addition your family has been waiting for? Start your journey together! Apply now.
