Adopter: J. Little
Adoption Date: January 2022
“We gave Lester a new name – he goes by Onyx now. He is a fantastic kitten and has adjusted well to our household. He’s quite spoiled and enjoys being a cuddly lap kitty, unless he is racing around burning off his kitten energy. His behavior is exceptional – he adapted to using a scratching post in a matter of days and enjoys his self cleaning litter box.
We often say we hit the kitten jackpot with this sweet boy. As the weather has warmed up he has become king of the screened porch – he really loves bird watching.
He is gaining weight and is growing as expected and recently had his 6 month checkup with our vet. Attached are a few recent photos of our beloved boy! Thanks for giving us the opportunity to make Onyx part of our family.”
