My name is “Onyx” to my foster Daddy, and he also calls me “Black Kitty”. A little neighbor girl calls me “Black Flower” cause I love to spend time in the garden sniffing flowers and chasing butterflies. I adopted my Dad in June after someone left me alone. He fed me, took care of me, had me tested for FIV and helped me overcome a near fatal cat virus. Now I need my own home. I am a black cat, with a white puff of hair on my chest. I have my claws and I weigh about ten pounds. I am about a year-old, easy going and loving. I’m good around kids but I prefer men. I have a slight sniff and some snot but the vet says I will always have slight drainage issues due to my bout with the cat virus. I am in good health and need a home.

Name: Roz
Age: 5 yrs 5 mos
Sex: F
Breed: American Shorthair
History:
Roz is a couple of years old. She and her sister Daphne were released by her owner due to health problems. Roz is very sociable and doesn´t mind being picked up. She loves to get attention and will lay in your lap and rub her face on you. She is very much a lap cat. Roz would love a home where she could give all of her love to a family needing a cuddler.
Roz is currently in a foster home until she is adopted. Her foster, Maggie, has successfully brought her back to an acceptable weight from a bout of depression and refusal to eat in the shelter. She is being fostered with several other cats and a large dog and she gets along well with all. To read all about Roz and how she is doing with the weight gain, please see her foster blog
Update: 9/24/2007 Roz is now classified as a special needs kitty. Poor Roz. Somewhere she caught the Feline Herpes virus. But she is fortunate in that the ulcer on her eye is healing just fine with the close care of one of DFW´s fine opthamologists. She is currently only on eye drops and her Dr. does not believe she will need surgery to remove the ulcer. Since she does have the virus, she will always be in danger of getting another ulcer, but if she is kept on a maintenance dose of L-Lysene powder every day, her chances of another outbreak are small. And this new obstacle has not altered her vision, nor has it altered her desire to be cuddled. Currently, Roz´s favorite place to sleep is "princess and the Pea" like on multiple stacked feather pillows. And she enjoys being the only kitty in the foster home with Pink Toes and a Pink Nose which are doted after daily.
