Hi there! My name is Bandit, but I’m not here to steal anything from you – well, maybe your kind heart! I’m an 8-year-old black and white, green-eyed guy, and I got my name because of my cool black mask. I came from a hoarding situation with 13 cats, so it’s taken me a while to get my bearings in this new world; when I first got to my foster home, I spent most of my time hiding under the bed! Now that I'm in the shelter, I’m enjoying getting to know more people and discovering that they’re not scary at all! I’ve also made friends with my roommate, another shy guy, and we learn from watching each other.
Now I’m ready for a home of my own and a constant human companion or two. (And maybe another quiet cat like my roomie?) Steady, low-key people would be my best fit. You might find that the zen lifestyle of a sweet, gentle cat is just what you need! Enjoy my quiet company while you work, watch TV, and have that cup of tea. We can listen together to the soothing sounds of cat music, and you can relax as you brush my coat and give me chin rubs. I’ll respond with head butts, leaning into your hand, and purring. Pretty soon my favorite places will be close to you, lying on a comfy couch or in a plush cat bed. I also love sitting on a cat tree with a view of the outdoors and a sunbeam. I’d love to be in a fur-ever home where my person would give me the space, time, and love I need. Could that be you?
