was found and saved with his five brothers and their brave mama, stealing his human’s heart the day he sat calmly amid the chaos. At just 7 weeks old, Finn was playing, observing, and quietly choosing his person ❤️

His fur mom chose Basepaws to honor what makes Finn uniquely Finn through discovering his roots, supporting his health, and unravelling the sweet mystery behind his mixed-breed magic ✨

November is both Adopt a Senior Pet Month AND Senior Cat Month - and our hearts are so full! 💕

There's something truly magical about loving a senior cat. They don't need much to be happy, but they give everything in return. Their purrs are deeper, their snuggles more intentional, and their gratitude absolutely endless. They know what real love looks like, and they're ready to share it with someone special 🥰

Every senior cat deserves to spend their golden years feeling cherished and safe. They may have gray whiskers and move a little slower, but their capacity for love only grows stronger with time ❤️

If you've been thinking about adding a feline friend to your family, consider opening your heart to a senior cat. The love you'll receive will be worth its weight in gold! ✨

Which loaf style does your cat prefer? 🥐😻

The cat bakery is open for , and every loaf is meowde from scratch! 🍞✨

When cats “loaf,” they tuck their paws neatly under their bodies like a warm little bun. This cozy pose helps them conserve body heat, feel safe and comfy, and stay alert in case something catches their attention 😸

Loafing is usually a sign your cat feels relaxed and content, but if your kitty’s loaf looks more hunched or tense, it could signal discomfort or pain. Keep an eye out for other clues like reduced appetite, hiding, or less grooming 🩺💛

Fall was basically made for the Brittany 🍂

In the forests of the Brittany region of France, their coloring blended seamlessly with crisp autumn leaves, helping them stay hidden while pointing game birds for hunters.

Bred from French Spaniels and English Setters in the 1800s, these high-energy pups were built to think, move, and explore ⚡ Their sharp mind and natural drive to chase and retrieve mean they need plenty of variety and mental challenges, so keep them busy, or they’ll happily “create” their own fun.

There is more to sweet.maple.pup's cute face than meets the eye 🧬

Maple was adopted in 2022, and her family was excited to learn her breed mix! She has high energy and loves being outside, running around, long walks, and, of course, treats 😋 She listens very intently, tilting her head and perking up an ear or two.

Intro to Basepaws Cat DNA Testing

Basepaws is a pet genetics company. We provide detailed insight into your cat’s health, lineage, physical traits, health, and genetic markers for potential hereditary disease. We study most common hereditary disease and report on traits which can affect the animal late in life, thus giving the owners and veterinarians a specific action plan. We can test hundreds of thousands of genetic markers and dozens of genetic diseases and are working with researchers on more data points. Every owner joins our community and participates as a citizen scientist to create a database of genetic data to be used in research. Our mission is to make life better with genetics for animals everywhere. 🧬Check out our report here ⬅️ Sign up for updates and new blogs on our website ➡️ www.basepaws.com
