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), so we were happy to have an opportunity to take more flattering photos of this gorgeous guy on January 8th when HSOV Lead Feline Kennel Tech Hayley Sturm held Onyx on her lap for some extra TLC and out-of-cage time. Onyx was a bit shy when he realized the paparazzi was attempting to photograph his beautiful face and quickly snuggled his head beneath Hayley's arms .. But where there's a will, there's a way so Hayley persuaded Onyx to face the camera.
Onyx was given vaccinations, wormer, and flea treatment on January 10, 2024. He weighed 9.7 lbs that day.
Onyx will be neutered in the near future and will be ready to find another loving home either through adoption or rescue.
Rescue groups may contact our HSOV Feline Rescue Coordinator via email (sharonpaul2@suddenlink.net). We can usually help with transportation.
Onyx was neutered on February 20, 2024 and was also given rabies vaccine. He weighed 10.7 lbs that day.
UPDATE: Onyx is currently at the WeLovPets store in Lafayette Plaza, Marietta Ohio (May 2024) where he is available for adoption through the HSOV. Please stop by WeLovPets to meet Onyx in purrson.
