My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Basil – A Hug-Giving Gentleman with a Heart of Gold 💛

Basil’s story is one of resilience and love. Once abandoned in a park and left to fend for himself, this incredible boy has overcome so much and is now ready to find the forever family he deserves.

Basil has the most soulful eyes and a heart to match. He absolutely adores his humans, loves to give hugs, and will happily chat with you about his day. His diabetes is well managed, and he thrives on a canned food–only diet (he’s especially fond of Weruva Press Your Lunch Chicken, Tiki Cat Dark and Stella & Chewy’s freeze-dried chicken).

This gentle sweetheart would shine as an only pet, though he can coexist with a calm, respectful kitty who gives him space. A quieter home with older children or adults would make him feel safe and adored.

If you’re looking for a cat who will love you with his whole heart and fill your home with warmth, Basil is your boy. We will show you everything you need to know! <3
