SAFE 04/11/15 – ONYX – A1031305 – BROOKLYN, NY
4-11-2015
PEOPLE ARE SAYING NICE THINGS ABOUT AWESOME ONYX….A volunteer writes: Onyx played it coy when I first opened his cage, looking away as if he didn’t need any love. I saw right through this hard exterior (pun intended) and went in for head tickles anyway. Just like I assumed, Onyx instantly turned into a mush, letting out what I would call half-snort/half-purr. When I temporarily withdrew my hand for a break, this guy was not having it- he wrapped his paw around my wrist and guided me back to his head! This guy is a character who needs some TLC and a forever home. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?? DON’T LET ONYX GET AWAY! FOSTER OR ADOPT NOW!!
