About Banjo

Meet Banjo, a spirited barn cat. These independent felines thrive outdoors, where they can roam freely and hunt pests, making them excellent natural pest controllers. If you're considering adopting Banjo, be prepared for a two-week confinement period to help him settle into his new home. This transition period is key for acclimatization, allowing him to establish your property as his new base. He'll need safe shelter from weather and predators, along with daily feeding and access to fresh water to keep him healthy. Banjo is ready to take on the role of your diligent pest control partner, ensuring your space remains free of unwanted guests. The Haywood County Animal Services Adoption Center is located at 453 Jones Cove Road, Clyde, NC 28721. Visit them during business hours, or reach out for more information.
