About Onyx

Onyx is a curious and sensitive Domestic Short Hair with a sense of humor that’s hard to beat. At 2 years old and weighing in at 10 lbs, he’s a delightful medium-sized black cat who brings joy with his playful antics. While Onyx has moments of excitement, he also prefers a calm atmosphere, ideally without dogs, though he might accept a friendly, well-mannered pup after a patient introduction. He has had some interaction with another gentle cat, so he could fit into a multi-pet home as long as introductions are done gradually. Onyx feels more comfortable with older, gentler kids who respect his space and understand kitty boundaries. He thrives on interactions but may take a little time to fully acclimate. Once settled, he showcases his playful side by turning everyday items into toys and loves to watch the world from a secure window spot. This affectionate feline truly enjoys following his person around, offering companionship—even if that means just hanging out in the same room. Expect a charming personality that will keep you entertained as he discovers the joys of his forever home at his own pace. Make room in your heart for Onyx—he's waiting for a loving companion.
