Onyx is a handsome 2-year old male kitty who was surrendered by his owner on January 5, 2024 because the landlord would not allow Onyx to remain in the rental property.
Onyx has a sleek black short smooth coat, a long tail, and an adorable chubby face with golden eyes, a black velvet nose, and long black whiskers.
This sweet boy has a friendly, easygoing personality. Onyx chose to remain in his litterbox for his first photos on January 6th (hey, it's a cat thing) (smile). We look forward to taking more flattering pictures of this awesome kitty but wanted to let potential adopters/rescue groups know that he is in our shelter and will soon be looking for another good home.
Onyx will be neutered in the near future.
UPDATE: Onyx was neutered on February 20, 2024 and was also given rabies vaccine. He weighed 10.7 lbs that day.
