Carson City's Catmandu introduces their Cat of the Week: Onyx
Hi there! My name is Onyx and I’m the cat of the week at Catmandu.
Everyone who meets me comments on what a big, handsome guy I am and on my sleek, shiny short black coat. That’s why my name is Onyx. I think I look like a miniature panther. I am very friendly once I get to know you, but I’m not clingy or needy. I prefer attention on my own terms. However, you can usually bribe me and get some affection with sweet talk and treats. Catnip toys work too. When I’m in the mood for love, don’t stop petting me or I will pat your leg for more.
I am a real homebody. When my former owner retired, she decided to move into a small RV and travel. I hated it. Absolutely hated it. I cried and hid all the time. So here I am, looking for a new home that doesn’t have wheels or an engine. I just want a comfy home with people to love, and who love me in return. I would be in heaven if my new home had a Catio since I do love safely sitting outside. You can’t just let me outside to roam though; it is far too dangerous and I wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to me.
Onyx is 3-years old, healthy, vaccinated and neutered. If you have a home that is firmly attached to the ground and are interested in meeting this handsome fellow, please complete a pre-adoption application on our website at CatmanduCC.org/adoptions and plan to visit him soon. We are open Friday – Sunday from 11am to 5 pm, at 1829 Brown Street.
Catmandu is a cage-free cat sanctuary and rescue that is celebrating a decade of lifesaving in 2024. Since March of 2014, more than 2700 cats have passed through our doors and into a better life.
