Basil Mousebone - Domestic Long Hair Cat for Adoption in Villa Park, California

Basil Mousebone
Male
MRQ#: A-2772
DOB: 03/16/2026

Are you looking for an active, inquisitive ginger kitten who loves to play? Basil Mousebone might be the be the kitten for you.

Active: Basil has orange boy energy, and hes not afraid to use it. Catching toys, wrestling with siblings, or exploring his world. Hes fast and furr-ious.

Inquisitive: Basil Mousebone got his name from Basil Rathbone who played the Great Detective Sherlock Holmes. Like his namesake, Basil is driven to investigate any mysteries that he encounters. Whether its a box with paper that might be hiding a toy mouse or figuring out how to get up onto the tallest shelf or secretly playing pawsies under the door with the big cats, he is actively engaged in checking out anything and everything new and interesting.

Friendly: Basils family was living in a garden before he was rescued, but they werent feral. Not even a little bit. In Basils experience, new people bring interesting smells, and they might have treats. He likes to sit on his foster moms lap and make biscuits, and hes even willing to be scooped up and held like a baby.

Playful: Basil loves to pounce on toys and carry them away, hunt springs, balls, and mousies, and do anything else he can think of. He particularly loves to wrestle with siblings. After all, its important for a kitten-detective to keep up his martial arts skills!

Cute: Basil is a seriously fluffy boy with a sweet face and cute orange markings.

Not solo: Basil wouldnt be happy by himself. Just as Sherlock Holmes had his Watson, Basil needs a friend. His usual sidekick right now is his sibling and fellow orange boy Dan D. Lion. They have different personalities (Dan is more cautious) but similar play styles.
