Bandit

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 1 year

Three Andalusian brothers, Bandit, Blitz, and Burglar, have been staying with me since mid-June. These three big boys, with their long legs and imposing appearance, are certainly impressive! However, behind their tough exterior, they are still discovering that people can also be very nice and familiar. Blitz and Burglar are more free and curious than Bandit, who needs more time to gain trust. The three are incredibly attached to each other. They play together, seek each other out, and sleep snugly together. It is therefore important that they can stay together. They are currently staying with me in a separate cat room, where they continue to develop. They have already made cautious contact with one of my dogs. They are especially curious and like to watch the cat out of the tree first. Now we think it's time for the next step: a home of their own where they can have the space and peace to grow into confident cats. We are therefore looking for a house or a spacious apartment with a safe, well-secured garden/outdoor space, where they can get used to and discover at their own pace. Because Bandit, Blitz, and Burglar are still cautious towards people, we are looking for a quiet household. A busy household with a lot of traffic and hustle and bustle is not suitable for them. Patience, understanding, and the willingness to give them the time they need are much more important than quick results. Who falls for these three special boys and wants to give them a safe, loving future together? ❤️ Bandit, Blitz & Burglar are ready for the next step. Maybe even to your house? ???? However, Bandit, Blitz, and Burglar do not necessarily have to be placed together. Blitz and Burglar could also be placed separately, provided there is a suitable social cat present. For Bandit it is different: he must be placed with at least one of his brothers. It is important for him to have a familiar companion.

Sinds eind juni verblijven Burglar en Bandit bij mij in de opvang. Twee prachtige jongens, ieder met hun eigen karakter, maar met één ding dat hen onlosmakelijk met elkaar verbindt: hun bijzondere band. Van de twee is Burglar de brutaalste. Hij durft net wat meer, is nieuwsgieriger en neemt graag het voortouw. Bandit kijkt de kat nog wat meer uit de boom en haalt veel steun en vertrouwen uit zijn dappere broertje. Door Burglar krijgt Bandit de moed om stapje voor stapje de wereld om zich heen te ontdekken. Beide jongens hebben nog wat tijd nodig om het vertrouwen in mensen verder op te bouwen. Ze zijn er nog niet helemaal, maar met geduld, rust en liefde kunnen ook zij steeds meer gaan ontspannen en ontdekken hoe fijn het leven samen met hun eigen mensen kan zijn. We zoeken daarom een thuis bij iemand die begrijpt dat vertrouwen moet groeien en die hun de ruimte geeft om zich in hun eigen tempo te ontwikkelen. Burglar en Bandit worden samen ter adoptie aangeboden. We willen deze twee broertjes niet uit elkaar halen, omdat hun onderlinge band zo belangrijk is. Samen voelen ze zich veiliger en kunnen ze elkaar helpen om steeds meer vertrouwen te krijgen. ❤️ Ook met honden kunnen ze goed overweg, mits deze gewend zijn aan katten en hen met respect behandelen. Waar dromen we van voor Burglar en Bandit? Een rustig, liefdevol thuis bij mensen met geduld, begrip en een warm hart voor katten die nog een beetje moeten groeien in hun vertrouwen. Mensen die niet verwachten dat ze meteen op schoot springen, maar die het juist prachtig vinden om te zien hoe twee voorzichtige jongens langzaam openbloeien. Want hoe mooi is het als je niet één, maar twee katten de kans kunt geven op een fijn leven? Twee broertjes die samen mogen blijven, elkaar steun geven en op hun eigen tempo ontdekken dat mensen ook heel lief kunnen zijn. Burglar en Bandit verblijven in de opvang in Ommen. Geef jij deze twee prachtige jongens samen een gouden mandje? Misschien ben jij wel degene bij wie ze eindelijk helemaal thuis mogen komen❤️

About Bandit

What life with Bandit looks like

Bandit is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) in Spain.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇪🇸Adopting from Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bandit, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bandit?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bandit on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bandit if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Bandit already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Bandit isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bandit and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (NL). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
