Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Key Lime
Available 1/24/2026 by appointment only. Call 916-705-6884
Female
3 years old
Eats Purina One Adult Kibble
No young kids or other animals.
Key Lime’s story is one of resilience. She was adopted as a kitten through Itsie Bitsie but later found herself abandoned. After spending some time on her own, a kind neighbor took her in and eventually returned her to us. Since Thanksgiving, I’ve been fostering her and watching her slowly rediscover trust and comfort.
When Key Lime first arrived, she kept her distance—hiding in corners and hissing if I looked her way. I gave her space and moved at her pace. By day three, she was sitting on my bed. By day four, she was curled up in my lap—and she’s been a lap cat ever since!
Key Lime is affectionate and loves attention, but always on her own terms. She may need time to warm up, and she has clear boundaries that must be respected. If she feels overstimulated or disagrees with how she’s being petted, she may nip to let you know. She usually gives a little warning meow first, but it’s important to understand her signals.
She is litter box trained, strictly an indoor cat, and loves watching birds through the window—so open blinds are a must! Key Lime thrives in a calm environment and would do best in a home without other pets or young children. She has shown strong resistance to meeting other animals, and her boundaries make her better suited for an experienced cat owner who can give her time and space to adjust.
Interestingly, she seems drawn to young adults—she warmed up quickly to my teenagers and their friends.
Key Lime is a beautiful, loving cat who deserves a second chance with someone patient and understanding. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will snuggle up on your lap once she trusts you, Key Lime might be the perfect match.
