About LOCAL CAT Onyx

Onyx is a big, beautiful, and funny cat, ready to share some joy. He came to the shelter in late August after being cared for by a kind person who realized he would thrive as a companion rather than just a trap-neuter-release cat. With his ear tipped to indicate prior treatment, Onyx now eagerly awaits his forever home. This playful boy has a charming personality. He gets a bit kooky with cat toys but mostly enjoys lounging on the ottoman, basking in the attention of visitors. Onyx has shown he can get along well with other cats; he’s curious but maintains an alpha persona, so he’s best suited for homes with more submissive felines. While not much is known about his demeanor around dogs, he seems confident enough to coexist with a dog that respects his space. At around 3 years old, Onyx is neutered, box-trained, and up to date on vaccinations. His adoption fee is $125, which includes all his care up to this point. Consider adopting this lovely cat who brings smiles wherever he goes. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
