He's had enough of that, thank you very much.<br/><br/>Now Basil wants the simple things: a house of his own, people who adore him, friends to hang out with, and a comfortable lap where he can stretch out, close his eyes, and know he's finally home.<br/><br/>Basil fought hard for his happily-ever-after. Now he just needs someone to give it to him.<br/><br/>Feline Companionship<br/><br/>Because kittens thrive with feline companionship, Basil will need to be adopted out with another kitten or into a home that already has an established, social cat or cat friendly dog. He has an equally wonderful sister named Sage who is available to go home with him to make a perfect pair.<br/><br/>Adoption Details<br/><br/>Single Kitten: $150<br/>Two Kittens: $250<br/><br/>Ready to Meet Basil?<br/><br/>Submit an adoption application:<br/>https://form.jotform.com/foranimalsstl/pet-adoption-information-form<br/><br/>Adopt.
