I went to see Basil on Sunday. He is still with my sister and now will be until 20th Feb when they lady he is going to live with has 2 weeks off work so can settle him in. He is not a well cat and very thin but is a lovely friendly puss. He is suffering from crusting from sun burn on his white ear (one white, one black) which the vets have not yet decided if they will remove or not, depending on his health. He has a collar mark so he has recently been someone's pet, no-one has reported him lost and the vets think there is a high possibility his owners just left him somewhere as he was not well and they did not want to pay for his treatment, poor puss. The vets do not know how much longer he has left but at least he will spend it loved and looked after.
