About Adonis

Adonis stands out—a true original, according to his vet. During what should have been a routine neutering, it turned out he didn’t have reproductive organs at all. After thorough exams and a specialist’s opinion, it was confirmed he was born this way—a male cat with a unique story. Despite all that, Adonis is a gentle, shy soul with a soft squeaky meow and an unbelievably silky coat. He enjoys the company of other cats and can live peacefully with dogs. Now about two years old, he’s searching for a family after being abandoned in Newark, NJ. Adonis is happiest when curled up in a warm lap with someone scratching his ears. If you’re looking for an affectionate cuddle-buddy with a story to tell, Adonis could be the one. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
