🩺 Onyx was paralyzed when rescued, that has improved a lot but she still has a wobbly walk

😺 Was very shy at first but can be petted now, doesn’t like being picked up

It was April 2025 when Kareema saw a message about a paralyzed cat wandering the streets of Cairo. Because of that Kareema did not waste any time and had Onyx rescued off the streets as soon as possible.

After a lot of love and care, good food and vitamins luckily Onyx has improved a lot.

Onyx is able to walk, yet not very fast and her walk is wobbly but that doesn’t bother her at all. She even is able to walk stairs.

Onyx is estimated to be about 3 years old, her estimated date of birth is March 2023. When Onyx was just rescued she was very shy of humans, this has improved also.

Onyx can be petted now but she still doesn’t like to be picked up. At ‘the haven’, Onyx is friendly towards the other cats and cat-friendly dog. Onyx will not be ready to pack her bags and travel before the end of April.

Safe Haven Egypt rehomes cats to be only indoor cats. This is extra important for Onyx because she has a wobbly walk. A secured outdoor space, like a cat-proofed balcony or enclosed garden area would be a plus.

Are you the one that has patience to allow Onyx to open up at her pace? Does her wobbly walk not scare you? Then maybe you are the right person for our special girl Onyx.
