Meet Basil (pronounced BAH-zil). His name, of Greek origin, means “kingly” and “royal”—a perfect fit for his royal cuteness! He was born on March 30, 2025, to mom Violet (11) and dad Sefu (17). Mom and baby are doing well—he’s staying tucked in Violet’s arms as he nurses and begins to take in the sights, sounds, and smells of his new environment.
