Vibes for Bandit

Bandit is a cat that came into our shelter on Saturday. He's an unneutered male 2-3 years old. He, a female cat we named Tessa & her 2 kittens were left at the door in a box. Tessa doesn't want to eat, but is mostly scared, the kittens are just fine. Bandit is probably in the worst shape. He has a bad URI, with bronchitis & an infected bite wound on his right hip. I ended up taking him to a vet last night because he was so lethargic & the infection scared me & the shelter director. I had already given him 100 sub-q & injectable antibiotics. There wasn't much the vet could do, but she did clean the wound up a little bit & over time the antibiotics must have kicked in because by the time we got back to the shelter he was eating like crazy. He still needs to go into a vet today to have the wound cleaned up, but given his URI the sedation is a risk. Through all of the poking & proding he was an angel & purred every time he was petting. Please send vibes that this sweet boy pulls through & finds the home he deserves!!!

For Bandit and the other abandonned kitties!

sending tons of for bandit to find a loving home really soon and for his quick recovery. and more for tessa and her kittens to also find homes too.

lots of for Bandit, and some for Tessa and the kittens too

Get better soon Bandit
What a sweet boy to purr after being poked about

Awwww, bandit Sending many vibes for him

Get well quick, Bandit!

He went to our vet yesterday to be tested for Feluk & FIV, have his wound cleaned, debreeded (SP?), a drain if needed & possibly get neutered. He will be picked up & brought back to the shelter this afternoon. He's a tuff sweet guy who deserves to be treated like a king. Keep those vibes comming. The healing from an infected bite wound can take a while.

So I stopped by the shelter to check on Bandit last night. He looked a little better, but was groggy from his pain meds. I was shocked at how long his incision was. The infection must have been progressing up his leg. While he was under getting the wound cleaned & the drain added the vet also neutered him. The good thing about that is it means that he doesn't have to go under again. I was amazed at his good nature last night. I reached in to pet him & he pushed his head into my hand. I was wishing I owned my own home because I just wanted to pack him in a carrier and take him home, but I can't. If I have time tomorrow I may go check in on him again.

he sounds so much like my rb thomas. i found him on the road just after he'd been hit by a car. he was a stray so after the vets sorted him out i took him home. he was such a loving boy, so sweet natured.

sending more for a quick recovery and a new furever home.

Bless him He sound like a really special boy.

Lots more 'Get better soon' vibes for that sweet boy.

I'm so excited. I just got a text from the shelter director that Bandit was standing up today & looking out the front of his cage!

Thank you all for the vibes.

& I just have to say I thank the Lord that I noticed his wound & was able to make sure he got the help he needed. I'm truly afraid if I hadn't seen it that night we would have lost him by the next morning.

Well I have additional good news for Bandit. A mere 3 months after he almost lost his life, he has found a new home. I am so happy & excited for him, but as with any special kitty there is a touch of sadness. Bandit is one of those cats that I just felt that special bond to. I am going to do his adoption. It will be hard , but at least I know he's in a good place.
