About Onyx
Onyx is a young female Domestic Shorthair mix who found herself abandoned in her carrier and is still learning what it means to feel truly safe. At about 1.5 to 2 years old, she's hitting her stride and finally coming out of her shell after some rough beginnings. Onyx is one of those cats with an unforgettable purr—the deep, constant-motorboat type that lets you know she's content. She enjoys being gently picked up and absolutely adores head and neck scritches. Treats are her favorite, and she's bold enough to take them right from your hand, which not every cat will do. Onyx loves to loaf on laps and is likely to turn into a dedicated lap cat as she builds confidence and routines. She's looking for patient adopters who can provide the stable environment she needs to blossom. Onyx must be the only pet in her home—she needs all the attention for herself.
