Onyx is a magnificent 2-year old male Siamese mix kitty who was found in Belpre Ohio and rescued by a compassionate woman who gave him a temporary home and offered to foster him until he could be adopted.
Onyx has a sleek black short smooth coat, a long tail, and a handsome chubby face with golden eyes, a black velvet nose, and long black whiskers.
These photos of Onyx were taken on October 24, 2023 when his foster mother brought him to HSOV for us to meet him 'up close and personal'. Thanks to HSOV Volunteer/Board Member Tracy Moore for helping Onyx with his photo session. This was a new experience for Onyx, and he was obviously out of his comfort zone .. But he made the best of the situation and was quite friendly/congenial while we snapped several pictures. Onyx was quite content to relax in Tracy's arms for some close-up photos of his beautiful face (and he even agreed to wear a tiny purple/white/black plaid bow tie).
His foster mother has had Onyx vetted, so he has been neutered and is up-to-date on vaccinations.
Onyx is a big boy who currently weighs 12.7 lbs, so there is a lot of him to love.
The other cats in his foster home haven't accepted Onyx into their circle of friends, so Onyx needs to find a permanent home of his own.
If you'd like to meet/adopt Onyx, please submit an HSOV adoption application for approval and we will arrange a meet-and-greet with his foster mother.
