Tabby and Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Vaughan, Ontario

***Basha and June have been together all their lives and must continue to be so. They had to be surrendered due to a child’s allergies.

Basha is a classic striped tabby cat with extreme friendliness and none of the outsized swagger. A soft, sweet and affectionate cat, Basha is very well-behaved and timid when it comes to loud noises, sudden movements and crowds of unfamiliar faces. He would rather run and hide from such stimuli than show any aggression. He is a big softie through and through.

Basha has known his best and bonded friend June all of his life, and the two cuddle adorably together every opportunity they find. Play time is when Basha’s athletic ability shines, and he chases after the streaking laser dot and jumps high for the flying wand toy with intense joy. Anything that moves or incites pursuit is fair game, and Basha can fully indulge in his athleticism with a satisfying hunt and chase.

Basha has a good appetite for both dry and wet food, loves treats, has impeccable litter box habits (he is used to any organic-based litters), does not mind being picked up, and tolerates nail trims with good grace. He has not been with other cats, dogs, or even kids, as the previous owner’s child is allergic. This sweet and docile cat just wants to have his bestie June with him and a family to love and call his own, then he is content to settle down and enjoy life to the max.
