Onyx

My story

Meet Onyx! A charming almost fifteen-year-old grey and brown tabby Domestic Short Hair from Norman, OK, whose wise eyes and vocal personality make him a truly one-of-a-kind companion. Wrapped in a soft coat with striking white accents, Onyx is a gentle, medium-sized gentleman weighing in at 12 pounds. While his days of leaping onto counters are behind him, he still enjoys a bit of play—especially if a string toy is involved! Just don’t expect an all-out zoomie session; Onyx is a low-key kind of guy who prefers the cozy comforts of life. He’s a master communicator, known for his distinctive meows that tell you when he’s hungry, wants to go outside for a supervised stroll, or simply craves a little attention. He speaks fluent "cat," and he's not shy about sharing his thoughts! His favorite pastime? Curling up on your stomach, purring softly as you give him those head scratches he loves. It’s these peaceful, bonding moments that reveal Onyx's affectionate side. And although he may be slow to warm up to strangers, he’s incredibly loyal and loving once he knows you’re his person. Onyx enjoys a simple dining routine: dry food available throughout the day and a delicious wet food dinner in the evening—he’ll absolutely remind you when it’s time. He’s vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped, making him a laid-back addition to a calm, caring home. He does well with dogs and tolerates feline friends, but he might prefer a home without small children. What makes Onyx so endearing is his old-soul spirit mixed with that unmistakable cattitude. He’s not a high-maintenance cat—he just needs a peaceful space, a kind heart, and someone who will listen when he speaks. Are you ready to welcome this wise, chatty companion into your life and let his purrs be the soundtrack to your quiet evenings? To learn more about adopting Onyx, reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com!
