Senior Shelter Cat Finds New Home After 50-Day Wait
Banjo, a 10-year-old cat, has lived in a shelter since August 19 and spent more than 50 days in a kennel. He arrived at 11 pounds but has since become emaciated. A rescue declined to adopt him because of his medical issues, and the shelter suspects a neurological problem.
Vivian Powers, a rescue pet photographer, posted a video of Banjo on Instagram. A friend who had recently lost her senior cat met Banjo and decided to take him home. After bringing him home, the new foster mom noticed he was wobbly and needed care. She has bought essential supplies for him but still needs help providing proper care.
The shelter offered Banjo a veterinary evaluation. If you want to help, text Vivian Powers to request his wishlist.
