Bandit

Meet Bandit!

A charismatic six-and-a-half-year-old Domestic Short Hair currently living in Grand Rapids, MI, whose tuxedo coat and wide, expressive eyes make him look like he’s constantly mid-plot in a feline mystery novel.

Bandit isn’t your average purring lap cat, he’s got character! This large, 15-pound gentleman lives life on his terms, combining the sass of a sitcom star with the instincts of an explorer. He’s confident, independent, and a bit of a goofball especially when the catnip jar comes out. Open it, and he’ll plunge his head right in for a nibble, then casually bat the lid around like it’s the real prize! He’s also got a soft spot for wand toys and squeezy treats, which he considers gourmet dining.

Bandit thrives on balance: he enjoys affection, but only when he’s in the mood. Think of him more as a cool, mysterious roommate than a clingy companion. He’s the type to chill nearby, observe everything with those ghost-seeing eyes, and make his presence known with an expressive chirp. Or, on sassier days, a grumbly little hiss to say, “That's enough, thanks!”

He’s curious and adventurous, always the first to find the weirdest corner of a room. He’s also playful, with clear boundaries. He’s not mean (never a scratch or bite), just very upfront about his personal space. When overstimulated, he might dramatically vocalize or playfully chase after you like a tiny tuxedo-wearing gremlin.

Bandit is fully vetted, neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. He has previously coexisted with dogs and loves other cats, especially playful or snuggly feline friends. A slow introduction and a home with another social cat would be a dream setup for him! He's also hoping his new caregiver will value regular vet visits and allow him time to settle in and feel safe.

Are you ready to share your life with a cat who’s equal parts dashing gentleman, hilarious weirdo, and independent spirit? Bandit is waiting to bring spice, charm, and a dash of drama to your days!
