Banjo

Male · Young · 1 year

Location: Lummen Can be adopted at the earliest from 27/09/26. Background Mama Odile was purchased with her sister from a pet store and was found to be pregnant because they were kept with males. She gave birth to 12 kittens on March 23, 2025. They all entered the shelter on 1/04/25. He then returned to the shelter in February 2026 because his previous owner could no longer care for him and his brother. After a short period in the shelter, he was adopted again, but Banjo continues to struggle with his hormones and it did not click with his two new friends. Therefore, he has been relinquished again. Description Banjo has just returned to the shelter, but he has already found his favorite spot (in the hood of my hoodie). He will sit alone for a few more days and will soon be introduced to new friends. After that, we will be able to say with certainty whether we will have him castrated or not. More information will follow asap. PS: The kitten photos were taken in his first weeks in the shelter.

Verblijfplaats: Lummen Kan ten vroegste geadopteerd worden vanaf 27/09/26. Achtergrond Mama Odile is samen met haar zus aangekocht in een dierenwinkel en bleek drachtig te zijn omdat ze daar met mannen werd gehouden. Ze beviel op 23 maart 2025 van 12 rittens. Zij kwamen allen binnen in de opvang op 1/04/25. Hij kwam vervolgens in februari 2026 terug binnen in de opvang aangezien zijn toenmalige eigenaar niet meer voor hem en zijn broertje kon zorgen. Na een korte periode in de opvang werd hij opnieuw geadopteerd, maar Banjo blijft sukkelen met zijn hormonen en het klikte niet met zijn 2 nieuwe vriendjes. Daarom werd hij nu opnieuw afgestaan. Beschrijving Banjo is nog maar pas terug in de opvang, maar hij heeft zijn geliefde plekje (in de kap van mijn hoodie) al terug gevonden. Hij blijft nog enkele dagen alleen zitten en zal spoedig geïntroduceerd worden met nieuwe vriendjes. Hierna gaan we met zekerheid kunnen zeggen of we hem al dan niet zullen laten castreren. Meer informatie volgt asap. PS: De rittensfoto's zijn genomen in zijn eerste weken in de opvang.

About Banjo

What life with Banjo looks like

Banjo is a young adult animal waiting at Rattenopvang Ratopia vzw in Belgium.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Banjo far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇧🇪Adopting from Belgium

Belgian shelters operate under regional law (Flanders, Wallonia, Brussels each have their own rules). All adoptions include the Eurochip, vaccinations, and a stewardship contract. Several Flemish shelters partner with Dutch and German rescue networks.

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. Rattenopvang Ratopia vzw 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 — Rattenopvang Ratopia vzw 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 animals 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 Rattenopvang Ratopia vzw 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.
