Ender is our senior guy at 12-years-old, adopted with his bonded brother, Onyx, from a local shelter at the age of 8. When we adopted Ender (on left) and Onyx (on right); they were extremely emaciated. There wasn’t much information on them as to their previous lives, but their condition told a vivid story. After a thorough examination by our Veterinarian they were diagnosed as Stage II kidney cats, which didn’t account for their weight loss. In the following month, they both put on ~3 lbs a piece and blossomed into two beautiful 16+ lb cats! Sadly, we lost Onyx last year after a battle with Large Cell Lymphoma, however, we were able to give him a new lease on life after being abandoned in his first.
Ender is a gentle giant… extremely affectionate, emotionally intelligent cat. He is a true representation of what makes black cats truly special. He puts up with so much being the senior of a void clan of younger cats and does so as a patriarch, of sorts. The other cats clamor to be able to cuddle up with this extra special feline.
Ender’s favorite past times are eating, cuddling up with his people at night and spending long hours out on the catio in the hot sun!
