Banjo

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 1 year

Banjo is a friendly, social tomcat who loves to be the center of attention. He adores attention and makes it clear by giving many head rubs. He is also curious, playful and enjoys being involved in everything that happens around him. We are looking for a cozy, lively household for Banjo where someone is regularly at home. Banjo can possibly be placed with children from 6 years old. How he gets along with other pets is currently unknown. After a settling-in period, Banjo wants to go outside to explore the quiet, green surroundings.

Banjo is een gezellige, sociale kater die graag in het middelpunt van de belangstelling staat. Hij is dol op aandacht en laat dat duidelijk merken door de vele kopjes die hij geeft. Daarnaast is hij nieuwsgierig, speels en geniet hij ervan om betrokken te zijn bij alles wat er om hem heen gebeurt. We zoeken voor Banjo een gezellig, levendig huishouden waar regelmatig iemand thuis is. Banjo kan eventueel bij kinderen vanaf 6 jaar oud geplaatst worden. Banjo gaat hier goed om met zijn soortgenoten. Na een wenperiode wil Banjo naar buiten om de rustige, groene omgeving te verkennen. Ga terug

About Banjo

What life with Banjo looks like

Banjo is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierentehuis Arnhem in Netherlands.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇳🇱Adopting from Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting Banjo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Banjo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierentehuis Arnhem handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Banjo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Banjo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierentehuis Arnhem will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Banjo already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Banjo isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dierentehuis Arnhem early rather than rehoming privately; they know Banjo and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (NL). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
