This oh-so-handsome boy, about 3 years old, sadly lost his home when his owner’s circumstances forced him to surrender his cat. He was truly loved – even knows his name – and now wants a home whose human(s) will dote on him just as much. His adorable face, his classy tuxedo bib, and his irresistible personality make him a winner! He is cautious then curious with strangers (he might hide under the bed but then will come out), and LOVES to be petted. Unlike many cats, he’s fine being held and will simply squirm to let you know it’s time for him to go off to other activities. He’ll sit by your side or in your lap if you let him, as he so thoroughly enjoys human companionship. His rescuer sang his praises: “Onyx is a great cat. He’s a love bug. He loves being around us. After 3 weeks he began to sleep with us. He’s very playful (though afraid of feather toys), but he also enjoys sitting on his cat tree and looking at the birds. He gives love headbutts and loves to be petted and kissed. He’s got the most beautiful round eyes and the blackest hair I’ve ever seen on a cat. He’s a special boy, anyone would be lucky to have him.” Previously an only cat, he met his rescuer’s cat and was eager to befriend him, so he can go to a home with a cat-friendly cat (or a dog!) or be the only cat in a home where there is a lot of human attention. Onyx is neutered, negative for FIV and FeLV, and up-to-date on his vaccinations. To adopt Onyx, email [email protected].
