This oh-so-handsome boy, about 3 years old, sadly lost his home when his owner’s circumstances forced him to surrender his cat. He was truly loved – even knows his name – and now wants a home whose human(s) will dote on him just as much. His adorable face, his classy tuxedo bib, and his irresistible personality make him a winner! He is cautious then curious with strangers (he might hide under the bed but then will come out), and LOVES to be petted. Unlike many cats, he’s fine being held and will simply squirm to let you know it’s time for him to go off to other activities. He’ll sit by your side or in your lap if you let him, as he so thoroughly enjoys human companionship.
His rescuer sang his praises: “Onyx is a great cat. He’s a love bug. He loves being around us. After 3 weeks he began to sleep with us. He’s very playful (though afraid of feather toys), but he also enjoys sitting on his cat tree and looking at the birds. He gives love headbutts and loves to be petted and kissed. He’s got the most beautiful round eyes and the blackest hair I’ve ever seen on a cat. He’s a special boy, anyone would be lucky to have him.” Previously an only cat, he met his rescuer’s cat and was eager to befriend him, so he can go to a home with a cat-friendly cat (or a dog!) or be the only cat in a home where there is a lot of human attention.
Onyx is neutered, negative for FIV and FeLV, and up-to-date on his vaccinations. To adopt Onyx, email adopt@kittykind.org.

Their adoption process
Additional adoption info
All cats and kittens are vaccinated and tested for FELV (feline leukemia) and FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), and if old enough, are neutered or spayed.
We will ask you some questions about your home and we will be glad to answer any questions you may have. Adopting a pet is a long-term commitment. We ask you to sign the KittyKind Adoption Agreement.
We will always take a cat back FOR ANY REASON. We will also work with you to place her in another good home if (after a period of adjustment) the adoption doesn't work out.
We do ask for a $125 adoption fee to help cover some of our food and veterinary expenses. For certain purebred cats (Siamese, Persian, Maine Coon, etc.), we request a $150 - $300 adoption fee.

More about this rescue
KittyKind is a New York City not-for-profit, no-kill, all-volunteer cat rescue and adoption group. All of us at KittyKind have opened our hearts and homes — and emptied our pockets — to save thousands of cats from neglect or abuse. Every cat we rescue is given food, shelter, medical care, a safe place to lay his or her head and most importantly of all, a reason to purr. We do not believe in rescuing a cat or kitten only to euthanize it if it has a broken leg or needs extended nursing care. We never give up if there is a chance of saving them. We take responsibility for each and every life we save and if a cat or kitten is unadoptable, they have a home with us for life.
We believe that animals are not property to be discarded, disposed of, or killed just for the crime of being homeless or unwanted. We believe that people should be friends, caretakers and protectors of animals. We believe that we must take responsibility for the life of every animal we rescue who through no fault of their own, is abandoned, sick, disabled, old or unable to care for themselves. We are dedicated to relieving their suffering, providing food, shelter, medical care and comfort until we can place them in a safe and loving home.
