LIME

HISTORY: Lime was born at CFC, along with her sister Melon, five days after her mom, Lemon, arrived. She was from a large unmanaged cat colony with ~100 cats.

As you enter The Scratching Post Kitchen you will become acquainted with Lime’s presence almost immediately! This little lady is incredibly vocal and is always on a quest for attention from people. Lime is friendly and is extremely fond of being petted. She will allow people she trusts to pick her up and cuddle, though Lime does prefer keeping her paws on the floor. Lime is extremely curious and enjoys adventuring all over the kitchen, whether it be on top of condo’s or scampering all around the floor, looking for something to get into. She enjoys playtime with an array of cat toys and is extremely excited to have some interactive playtime with a wand toy. Lime is, for the most part, a solitary cat and it seems that she prefers to be on her own unless she and her sister, Melon, are playing together. She gets along with the other cats in her area, however she does not tend to seek out their attention.

If you are looking for a playful adventurer, look no further than Lime! Or perhaps you are looking for playful but independent siblings, then Lime and Melon are your girls!

Dec 2025 Update: Staff and volunteers always have lots to say about me. “Lime is just being Lime.” That sounds ok with me. I can be a little wack-o at times! “Crybaby” is a nickname from a volunteer and I’m not sure if I like it or not. I’ll admit, the volunteer is right though. I’m scaling and jumping all over the kitchen area and it’s most common for me to dangle down off a cabinet top or condo top and cry til someone placates me! I love, love the human attention but truly loathe interacting with other cats. I’m a very busy body but here’s a goal of mine: I’m hoping one of these days, when all of the used cat bowls stacked and waiting to be cleaned by the sink are all available for me to lick clean! What a dream as other kitties are always jumping up and spying the yummy leftovers, so it’s hard to have this feast for myself. Perhaps when we next check in, I’ll have a new plan to have the bowls all to myself. 

More about me March 2024:  LIME wins the award for being THE life of the party as she works every corner of our busy kitchen area at The Scratching Post.  Lime is here, she is there, she’s on her back with legs in the air, she’s on her side with her arm extending outward to nab you, etc, etc!  Lime is a hoot.  She is all teen kitten and more.  This petite spit fire of tabby goodness is very active, entertaining, social and loving.   She loves being in the thick of things and finds silly, goofy games at every turn in the road. Very chatty and flirty, Lime loves her humans as much as she loves other kitties.  A passionate girl who is full of herself,  she keeps us on our toes and we can’t wait to see how she will next make us laugh out loud!  Please experience her for yourself and let the good times roll!
