Basil - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Crossville, Tennessee

Basil came to us, with his sisters Rosemary and Anise, from a farm. Although he was wary of humans at first, Basil quickly came around, revealing himself to be a rambunctious and confident kitten. He loves to be held and has an adorable tendency to cock his head when something’s caught his attention.

We encourage adopters to adopt kittens in pairs for ideal development and companionship. In Basil’s case, we recommend adopting him with one of his sisters, Anise or Rosemary.
