Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Bandit is our special boy with a dramatic, life changing story. It was midnight when our adoption coordinator received a call from a nice young woman from her old neighborhood saying that she had seen a bus swerve and a cat dragging itself on to the curb. She ran home got a blanket and carrier and went back to find Bandit in a bush. Bandit knew her and was very cooperative. She rushed him to the ER. Bandit was born on the streets and had no socialization but because all life is precious, we could not turn our backs on him. He spent a week in the hospital and had extensive reconstructive surgery to repair his broken leg and femur. While there he also made friends with his nurses and his doctor and proved to be a gentle, receptive boy. Bandit has made a full recovery. He has a pin holding his hip together and you would not know anything was wrong with his hip and leg. He will need an understanding, loving family that will continue his socialization. We at Hearts United would like to thank the staff at Veterinary Specialists for reaching out to Bandit and treating him with dignity and respect.
