Onyx

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

If Onyx could write his own profile, it would probably say: "I'm an excellent conversationalist with a love for adventure. I’m looking for someone who appreciates a loyal companion with lots of energy." Once Onyx gets to know you, he’ll make sure you’re never short of company. He's super playful with a particular love for fishing-rod toys and fetching hair bands. He’s also a keen climber; you’ll regularly find him at the very top of his cat tree, surveying his kingdom. When he’s not keeping watch, he loves making biscuits on his favourite blanket (or on you), or sleeping at the foot of the bed, fulfilling his important duties as your personal protector. But Onyx’s biggest quality is his heart. He can be timid around unfamiliar people or sudden noises, but once he knows it's safe, you get to see the real Onyx – the shy boy turns into a silly, social, and incredibly affectionate one. He will greet you at the door when you come home and happily supervise your daily activities (you might even find him in your bathroom sink). He loves forehead/ chin scratches and, once he completely trusts you, may even allow a belly rub or two. He’s also not fussy when it comes to treats, so winning him over through his stomach shouldn't be difficult. Onyx is being directly rehomed from his current owner. Sadly, they can no longer provide him with the care he deserves and asked us to help them find the best home for this fabulous house panther. He was treated for FLUTD earlier this year and has been prescribed a special urinary diet, preventative Zen and lots of love! Can you help Onyx live his best life?

About Onyx

What life with Onyx looks like

Onyx is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Feline Friends London in United Kingdom.

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 United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

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. Feline Friends London 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 — Feline Friends London 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. 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 Feline Friends London 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 (EN). 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.
