My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Onyx is here to remind you that black cats never go out of style.

Meet Onyx, our velvet house panther with just a few white hairs on his chest and a whole lotta charm. He’s the perfect blend of couch potato and playtime enthusiast. Want a cat who can wrestle a toy mouse and nap like a professional? That’s our guy.

Onyx is:
✨ Sweet as can be
✨ Social with other cats
✨ Sleek, shiny, and full of love
✨ Patiently waiting for someone to see past the superstition and fall in love with black cat magic

We know we’ve got a lot of beautiful black cats right now, but Onyx wants to be your favorite. Come meet him and see why black cats are the best!

Additional adoption info

We talk to all prospective adopters. Anyone interested in adopting is asked to fill out an applicaiton information sheet. We check vet references, etc. If the prospective adopter is a renter, we verify that a pet is permitted. When approved, the adoption fee is $40-$120; an adoption contract is completed.

Prior to adoption all our animals are spayed or neutered. Each cat/kitten has been tested for FIV and FELV. All are treated for fleas, dewormed, and given rabies and distemper shot.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Come meet your new best friend! You can visit our adoptable cats and kittens at our shelter located at 3412 Oaklawn Blvd. We welcome visitors to come see the animals, spend a little time with them, and find the perfect match.

Public viewing is available during our regular hours, and visits can also be arranged by appointment on our "closed" days during staff hours so you can have dedicated time to meet specific pets. If you’d like to stop by, please reach out. We’d love for you to visit, say hello, and meet the wonderful cats waiting for their forever homes.

More about this rescue

The Hopewell Humane Society (HHS) is a small, loving nonprofit that has been serving the Hopewell community since the 1960s. We focus on helping unwanted and abandoned animals feel safe, cared for, and ready for their forever homes. Our work is powered mainly by volunteers - along with a small, dedicated staff - and supported entirely by donations from people who care as much as we do.

Every animal with us is treated like family, and our spay/neuter efforts help reduce overpopulation and save lives each year. If you’re looking to adopt, volunteer, or support our mission, we’d be thrilled to welcome you. When you adopt from HHS, you don’t just give an animal a home, you give them hope.
