Hey CDA Local Buzz Folks, we want you to meet Onyx ❤️. This is Onyx! She is a friendly, affectionate, long-haired 11-year-old feline - and loves to pose for the camera! She is declawed on her front paws, so keep her safe by keeping her inside. She has lived with male cats but not with dogs. She would be happiest in a calm, quiet home. Onyx is the perfect lap cat, and she would love to be adopted by you 🙏.
