My story

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

OBSESSED WITH CATNIP

DOB 4/1/25

Hey there, everyone! I’m Onyx, a sweet, energetic, and very playful Bombay mix fella with copper-penny eyes and a sleek, shiny black-patent leather coat. When I relax on Foster Meowmy’s bed, I’m one of the best biscuit-makers you could ever find, especially if it’s in response to her nonstop head massages and cheek/ chin/ and ear scratches. I even enjoy “bongo time,” when she pats my bum. By the way, I’m obsessed with rolling around in and snacking on catnip. True confessions: although I secretly love attention and will tolerate some cuddle time, I absolutely abhor being held and will immediately squirm around until I can get down.

My feral momma birthed Obsidian, Jasper, Topaz, and me underneath the seat of an old car parked in a used-car business. Foster Meowmy’s finding us when we were only about three weeks old might never have happened if she hadn’t been trying to rescue the other set of kittens whom another feral momma had birthed outside of Foster Meowmy’s house. The other momma had moved her litter from Meowmy’s yard to a few doors down to the used-car business. Imagine Meowmy’s surprise when she found not only the kittens she’d been tracking under the driver’s seat but also my litter under the passenger’s seat!! When we were five weeks old and could eat on our own, Foster Meowmy gathered up both of our stowaway litters and brought us all inside to the safe haven of her home.

You can imagine the mayhem that eight kittens can wreak inside our foster room! We tumble and pounce, climb and wrestle, and when we’re exhausted, we collapse in a kitten puddle. I can be a bit of a menace when I chase my siblings even when they don’t feel like playing, so then I release my energy by playing with the resident two-year-old cat. Paradoxically, I like my own space from the gang, so I spend my “time outs” resting at the peak of the bathroom cabinet or the cat tree, where I enjoy bird-watching out the window.

Now I’m ready to bring my stunning good looks, expert biscuit-making and mischievous energy to my forever family. Could that be you? Arrange to meet me today, and if you’re looking for a pair of kittens, please consider adopting me with one of the other #car-stowaways. We think it’d be the cat’s meow if we could be adopted as a pair so we could be playmates and cuddle buddies while you’re at work or on vacation.
