Hi, I'm Bantha

About Me

Bantha was lovable and friendly from the moment he arrived, so much so that his first nickname was Bestie, long before the Star Wars names stuck.
He arrived the sickest of his litter, likely the runt, but he’s made a full recovery and now has energy to spare. In fact, playtime is his favorite part of the day.
Hobbies: tussling and jumping around with his siblings
Favorite Toy: the TurboChaser (especially the light-up ball), anything with a bell, the Cat Catcher, and springs
Favorite Napping Spot: a shoulder perch with one of his foster family
He imprinted fully on his foster family, and there’s nothing he loves more than cuddles, pets, and being the center of attention. He has a low-maintenance coat, though he does enjoy a good brushing. He’s mid-training on weekly nail trims, so keeping that up would be a plus. Bath time is still a work in progress — he tends to get wiggly.
How I Came to PGSPCA
In a galaxy not so far away (okay, just next door), a small colony of cats had been living wild for years, multiplying in the shadows with no one looking out for them. Kittens would come and go, and no one really knew what became of them once they wandered off.
Then a family of rebels intervened. Determined to give these younglings a real shot at life, they smuggled the newest litter out of the colony and into a secret base (also known as the spare bathroom). It wasn’t glamorous, but it was safe, and that was enough to change everything.
The kittens arrived scrappy and small, fighting off infections that clouded their eyes. But with steady care and the Force of a good vet team behind them, they healed. Now, fully recovered, vaccinated, and ready for their next mission, they’re searching the galaxy for the one thing every good story needs: a FURever home.
Dream Home
Bantha is looking for an indoor-only home ready to match his energy. He’d thrive with an active household that can keep up with his playtime, but he’s just as happy winding down for cuddles once the zoomies pass.
He’s bonded closely with his siblings and would do best going home with a playmate — ideally Wampa or Mudhorn, who are calmer but still very playful with their siblings and toys. Either would offer a good balance of energy for his forever home.
