Onyx

Male · Young · 2 years

Nom : ONYX Identification : 250269611911294 Race (type non loof): EUROPEEN Date de naissance (âge): 01/06/2024 Gabarit : grand Poids : 6. 5 kg Comportement : Onyx est arrivé blessé, il ne posait plus sa patte, il avait un gros abcès. C'est un chat sociable, qui a donc connu une famille, mais face à son comportement, c'est un chat qui semble avoir été longtemps dehors. Il n'a aucune méchanceté, il préfère fuir ou se cacher quand il sent un danger (les chats males de la famille qui a fait la quarantaine l'attaquait). C'est un chat qui vient dès qu'il pense qu'il peut avoir des caresses mais dans sa famille de quarantaine, 5 enfants ( 6 enfants, de 6 mois à 11 ans), c'était un peu trop et donc, il se cachait ou voulait à priori jouer (il mordillait, il n'a jamais laissé de trace sur les enfants). On évitera donc les très jeunes enfants. Dans cette famille temporaire, il avait peur du chien (se cachait) mais, au bout de 10 jours, il commençait à vouloir jouer avec lui : c'est un chien de

About Onyx

What life with Onyx looks like

Onyx is a large young adult cat waiting at La Patte de l in France.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Onyx, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Onyx?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. La Patte de l handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Onyx on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Onyx if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — La Patte de l will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Onyx already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Onyx isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with La Patte de l early rather than rehoming privately; they know Onyx and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
