Gorgeous Basil was originally rehomed by us back in April 2024, having sadly come into our care as he was very unhappy with a toddler in the home. His devastated new owners recently had to make the very difficult decision for him to come back into our care as unfortunately he did not react well to a change in routine (his human daddy retired and was around more of the time) and Basil was becoming very stressed, including urinating outside the litter box. 

Since being in foster care he has not urinated outside the litter box at all but he does "fake spray" (where he will do the action of spraying without releasing any urine) when he is not happy about something or is feeling stressed. 

He is a sensitive cat who needs a quiet and stable environment, ideally within a female-only household as his foster carer has been testing him out with different visitors and unfortunately he does not tend to react well to men.

Basil can be shy at first but once he gets to know you he loves to follow you around the house. He would like somebody who is home the majority of the time as he likes his routine and companionship. He should be okay to be left for a few hours so long as there is structure to his day and he has enrichment - he loves his activity feeders to keep his mind busy and is so good at them! He is a very affectionate and friendly cat who will happily sit on your lap or next to you. He is very playful and will sit by his toybox waiting for you to play with him.

Basil's foster carer says: He's quite chatty when he's in the mood for company, his moods and feeling are quite easy to tell by where he is and his meow. In his igloo bed or castle is 'I want some space' and front of the pen and chatting is 'I'm happy to see you and cuddle please!' Basil will need regular grooming as his fur is prone to matting. He has just had a dental so he shouldn't need any more dental care for a good while and he currently takes 1/2 a tablet of gabapentin twice a day to help him with his anxiety. Basil does not like closed doors as he doesn't like to miss out on anything and will occasionally scratch at them. He will thrive in a home where he is the centre of attention and will soon take over your home as well as your heart. 

Basil is currently in foster care in Doncaster and we can assist with transportation throughout the UK for the right home. Please email us at tbrccrehome@gmail.com for an application form
