In the shelter’s words

Meet Onyx — the sweetest little gentleman in a tux! Onyx is an almost four-month-old black-and-white foster kitten with the most handsome tuxedo markings and bright, curious eyes. He may be petite, but he carries himself with all the elegance and charm his fancy outfit suggests. He is looking to go to his new home with his mom Pomegranate. At first, Onyx can be a little shy, quietly observing from a safe spot while he decides if you’re worthy of his trust. But give him a moment — and maybe a few gentle words — and you’ll see him blossom. Once he warms up, he becomes a total sweetheart who loves nothing more than cuddling up close, purring into your hands, and soaking in all the affection you’re willing to give. He’s also a playful, silly, energetic kitten who enjoys toys, zoomies, and wrestling matches with anything that crinkles or jingles. Onyx is the perfect mix of soft-hearted snuggler and spirited kitten fun. Onyx would also love to be adopted with his mom, Pomegranate, through the Mom and Me program! If you adopt Onyx, you can bring home his loving mama for just $25. They adore each other and would make a wonderful pair for anyone looking to add extra love (and extra purrs) to their home. This handsome boy is ready to bring joy, companionship, and a touch of class to his forever family. If you’re looking for a loving kitten who will reward your patience with endless affection, Onyx might just be the one. Onyx is from an owner surrender with Mom and 3 siblings. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals. Want to adopt a kitten? We highly recommend you consider bringing home two instead of one! Adopting kittens in pairs has been proven to be beneficial for cats’ emotional and behavioral well-being and greatly improves the likelihood of long-term adopter happiness as a result. Adopting more than one kitten also reduces the risk of “Single Kitten Syndrome” (also known as Tarzan Syndrome), a symptom of under-socialization during a kitten’s most formative weeks. Kittens who are under-socialized may develop aggressive tendencies toward both other animals and humans as they grow, creating lifelong behavioral issues for owners.
