Bandit is a 2 month old American Shorthair in Lansing, IL, who needs $2,000 for Perineal Urethrostomy.

My cat was found on the side of a street near my house he was all black with other kittens with him. I called to them and the only one came was a all black one he jumped in my car he was only 6 months old and I named him Bandit. It sure is the right name because every time the door opens he tries to get out. He wants out all the time like a dog. He is a indoor cat. He begs for food like a dog.

I am looking for financial help to help my cat with Idopathic cystitis. On May 8 2025 he had a catheter put in to help him urinate. On May 9 he pulled it out with a cone on his head He is blocked again and I can't afford a peroneal urethrostomy. The vet is Coyne. My poor cat does not have much time left before I have to euthanize him.

My cat loves going outside in his carrier. Taking car rides . He loves chasing shapes with his Lazer light toy. He has been laying with me a lot since he has been sick. I have been giving him lots of love and attention as much as I can. He loves people he will let anyone pet him. I have never had a cat like him who loves so much attention. If I loose him that is what I will miss. He is only 2.

I can not afford this large vet bill. I only work part time. I just want my cat to be able to play again with me. We used to play tag and run around together and go places together. If I loose him that will be what I miss the most He acts more like a dog then a cat .
