Critter Details
Meet adorable granny Bandit! Bandit knows that age is really just a number – this cute little lady is 17 years old, but she's still as spry and curious as a much younger cat! You're just as likely to find her exploring or getting the zoomies as curled up somewhere cozy taking a nap. Bandit is a chatty gal who likes to give her opinion on everything, from strange bugs to her food bowl being not quite full enough. She's also a big fan of chin scratches and likes to sit with you on your bed or your couch. How about a Golden Girls marathon, and then a few rounds with her toy mouse? Bandit has hyperthyroidism, which does not cause any problems in her day-to-day life. Her condition is currently being managed with a small pill that she takes very easily in her food! She also eats a special kidney support diet, since she's in the earlier stages of renal disease. She has a good appetite and good litter box habits. Bandit has lived with another cat before and may be open to living with other pets or older children who can respect her need for a little peace and quiet now and then in her golden years.
