Basil is a kitty in need of some TLC and patience. This sweet girl has found herself back at the shelter through no fault of her own, and she’s feeling sad and unsure. What she wants more than anything is a gentle, quiet, loving home where she can be a cherished family member. Basil is a dear, full-figured gal who dreams of soft beds, comforting routines, and lovely meals. She asks for so little, and in return she will offer the sweetest companionship. Can you give this precious, innocent girl the soft landing she so deeply needs? Meet and adopt Basil soon. She’s ready for kindness, stability, and love.
