My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bottle Fed and Hand Raised

I am Robin the foster mom of young Bandit. He will probably always look like a kitten because he is petite in size. I named him Bandit because he makes me laugh by stealing my cat's toys and my socks and takes the things to his hiding place under the bed.

Bandit just turned a year old, but he is petite in size so he still looks like a kitten and his coloring pattern is known as a "Cow Kittie".  Everyone at my work on zoom loves his markings with his black eyepatch and tail, plus a few black spots here and there.  His fur is so soft – he feels like a bunny. 

He grew up with his brother so he had a good upbringing with interactive play, too. He lives with me and my two five-year-old male cats and Bandit is too much "about" play for them, or I would adopt him. He does well with my cats but despite his petite size he thinks he should get all the loving and tries to be the dominant cat. 

Bandit was bottle fed and hand-raised which gave him his love to snuggle with humans. He loves to cuddle and snuggle up to your neck. He is a very affectionate cat, but he is shy at first. He can’t refuse petting, toys and wet food, so those are the methods to use when you first meet him and he seems shy. Once he feels comfortable, he will want to play and cuddle every day.

He wants to be close so he can be stubborn about rules to not get on the table. He is excellent when it comes to the litter box and not using his claws. He has not scratched one thing in my house, not even the leather furniture. He has no desire to go outside, and he loves the cat grass I grow. Bandit is the perfect cat for someone who wants a small cat that wants to play and cuddle.

Does Bandit Seem Like A Good Fit With Your Family? We Want To Get To Know You...

PLEASE REPLY WITH THE "BELOW" INFORAMTION WHEN YOU INQUIRE.

THE ADOPTION PROCESS: COVID and the Delta variant have changed the way we do things so the interview process starts with you replying about yourself, others in the home or others that visit regularly, current pets and about the ones that you have had in the past and where they are now. Your work schedule, and what lifestyle you plan for your pet; indoor only, indoor but allowed out sometimes, indoor / outdoor.

Your answers will give us an idea of your experience and the lifestyle of choice for your new pet.

The organization wants to get to know the potential adopter before formalizing an application because it is important to discover if the cat of interest is a good fit for you, your family, lifestyle and with any other pet family members.

More about this rescue

We adopt kittens in pairs believing all young beings should have a playmate of the same species, similar age.

Our foster parents help match the pairs of "best play buddies)

The animals are in private homes and well-loved.

All the rescue organizations are not the same. We all get them from the same places, but well-socialized kittens are not easy to come by.

We specialize in “pet-quality” cats and kittens. A pet-quality cat has had positive experiences with humans and has felt loved. Many of our kittens like to be carried and held and would make great family members.

Kittens that have not been well-socialized or handled a lot avoid people, hide and are jumpy and are often described as independent and aloof or abused.

Why do we promote our kittens in pairs?

All young animals need a playmate. They learn social skills through play-fighting. Kittens need an “equal energy” playmate to interact with. Just like kids picking friends, they pick someone who likes to do the same things. Biting and attacking ankles may be cute when a kitten is small, but a full grown cat can bite hard. Behaviors that the public dislike are created by not making the best choice for the animals. Adopting a pair of young animals that have the same energy level that were well-socialized is the best choice.
