Bandit

Mixed Breed Cat · Unknown · Young · 1 year

I’m a loveable and sweet boy but can be a sensitive boy until I know you. Some of you may remember me, I am one of the 3 kittens that were found dumped in a plastic box outside some shops back in February, our finder found us and took us to the sanctuary where they knew we would get the care we deserved. There was 4 of us but sadly upon discovery our finder opened the lid slightly to see what was inside and one of us ran out and sadly despite our carers best efforts there were just no sightings to be reunited.We were severely malnourished more so my younger sisters Bluey and Bingo so we were taken straight into a foster home with one of our carers so that we could have closer monitoring and so we can be fed more frequently to help us build up some strength and gain weight. Our bad luck didn’t stop there… After a few weeks of being in foster our foster mummy knew something wasn’t quite right when we kept having loose stools, faecal samples were taken which later showed that we had a nasty parasite called giardia. The decision was made for us to come back to the sanctuary where they could do stricter cleaning to help fight the giardia quicker! After some horrible medicine for a couple of weeks we soon got the all clear for this and were on our way to finally being able to start our vet work!I can be a bit wary at first but it really doesn’t take long for me to gain your trust. I am a very sweet boy that just loves to give head bumps and kisses. I will accept being picked up however I do like my own space too, I get very squirmy when I’m not comfortable with something. I love playing rough and tumble with Bluey and Bingo although I can be a bit too rough sometimes and get told off by them! I just forget they are smaller than me, I don’t mean any harm! I am looking for an indoor only home due to my slightly sensitive side my carers feel I will get easily spooked outside, which may put me in dangerous situations or get me lost! I can be very wary and get quite stressed about other cats, the only cats I enjoy the company of is my 2 younger sister Bluey and Bingo so could be rehomed with these as a trio. However unfortunately I couldn’t be homed with any other cats as this would stress me out too much.I loved the toddler in my foster home however due to my sensitive side I would be better in a home with older kids 13+, I need patient owners who won’t push me and will allow me to come to them when I am ready for some fusses. I can be very hand shy with people I don’t know and get easily worried, I will happily come to you and play with you but it may be a couple meets before I am comfortable enough to allow you to fuss me show you my true loving side. Unfortunately I was very fearful of dogs and completely freaked out so for this reason I couldn’t be homed with a dog.A garden with a secure catio or cat-proofed fencing would be great so I can have some safe outdoor access but this isn’t essential I will be just as happy staying inside as long as I have lots of toys and things to climb on!Please note- Applicants will ONLY be contacted if you are a suitable match. Please be aware we complete our rehoming checks prior to arranging any meets.

About Bandit

What life with Bandit looks like

Bandit is a young adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Wythall Animal Sanctuary in United Kingdom.

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 United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

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. Wythall Animal Sanctuary 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 — Wythall Animal Sanctuary 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
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 Wythall Animal Sanctuary 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 (EN). 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.
