About Onyx

Greetings and Salutations! I'm here to introduce myself to all you wonderful people. All people are wonderful as far as I'm concerned, because they pick me up and pet and love on me! My name is Onyx, and I am an approximately 7-8 year old black male neutered Domestic Shorthair with golden-green eyes and claws. I'm an indoor/outdoor cat, but I always came in at night so that I could lie on Mom's lap to be petted and sleep with her. As a matter of fact, Mom's brother who is here to take care of the house woke up the other night to my loud purr and found me sleeping right next to his face. I really do love people! I came here to the Safe Place for Pets Welcome Center in Manitou Springs Colorado just the other day, and it seems like a fine place. I lived at Mom's with my brother Chappy and although we weren't best buds, we got along ok, so I have no problems getting along with other cats. We didn't have children or dogs in our family, so I don't know about those one way or the other, but cats are fine. I'm just a mellow, laid-back guy. Chappy and I are here at Safe Place for Pets because Mom died last week and there was no one to take us. But a good friend of Mom's was kind enough to find someplace where we could go until we find forever homes. She came to the house to make sure that we were doing ok and had food and water. As a matter of fact she was such a good friend to Mom that she had us vaccinated and paid for all our vet bills. She told the Safe Place volunteer that she hopes someone will be kind enough to do the same for her pets some day. Is that incredible or what?! Even though it's nice here at the Welcome Center, I really would like to find another forever home where I could have a person - or people - all of my own. If you think that might be you please give Safe Place a call at (719) 359-0201 or email them at [email protected] to make an appointment to come meet me. I promise to welcome you with open arms and a loud purr. ����
