ONYX IS IN HIS NEW HOME AND SETTLED IN AMAZINGLY FAST TOO!!!
?
Onyx is a lonely-hearted 6 year old F4 neutered male located in Mundelein, IL. He desperately wants a human(s) to give him the love and attention he craves.
?
Onyx has lived all his life in this home, but as he grew up it appears his relationship with the two other cats in the household soured, with no reported incident the owner reports that Onyx reacts very defensively and anxiously around them. They also brought a puppy in along the way without any introductory process and that exacerbated the situation. Onyx has been urinating outside the litterbox. After trying some options like larger litterboxes, and more locations, they then separated Onyx to his own room. Unfortunately, this leads to Onyx being upset at being away from the humans and the litterbox avoidance has continued. His owners believe he needs to be an only pet.
?
Onyx is reported to be very loving and affectionate with people, so a home where there is someone home for most of the time would suit him best. It is entirely possible that the new home without stressors may mean his inappropriate urination issue disappears, but a new home should be ready to work on that. Onyx has never lived with children, and given that the urination issue seems linked to possible anxiety/stress we would recommend no babies or small children. Onyx might well love an older child or teenager that wishes to give him his sought-after attention though. We think that Onyx would be best as an only cat from the owner's report, but it is possible that one other calm, unreactive cat might work with proper patient introduction.

If you think Onyx would make a perfect companion for your home, please email info@... with your location and a description of your household and why Onyx would fit in there. His adoption fee will be $200.
