Basil is a charming boy with a gentle soul and a timid nature. Initially, he may run and hide when approached by new people, but with patience and kindness, he reveals his affectionate side and has the potential to become a lap cat. Basil needs a quiet home with a spare room where he can settle in and feel secure at his own pace. Despite his shyness, Basil's heart of gold shines through once he feels safe and loved.
