Lime

DOB approximately 11/1/25 | Black DSH | Tipped Ear<br/><br/>Lime is sleek. Lime is observant. Lime is… somewhere in my house.<br/><br/>About two weeks ago, she quietly slipped free from her indoor catio condo and has since chosen independent living within the greater rescue household. She has been spotted approximately six point three times — always silently, always briefly, like a very small, very elegant cryptid.<br/><br/>We already have two indoor feral black cats (Black Mamba and her daughter Luci), so apparently we are now a specialty facility for elusive house panthers. What’s one more shadow with eyes?<br/><br/>Because she's so elusive, we only have one photo of her from the day she was trapped, but she looks like just about every other sleek, sneaky ninja. <br/><br/>Lime came from a community colony and has a tipped ear from her spay surgery. Ear tipping is the universal sign that a cat has already been through a Trap-Neuter-Return program. While tattoos work well for handleable cats, it’s not exactly practical to check a feral cat’s belly for a tiny blue mark. The small tip removed from the ear doesn’t hurt them and provides an immediate, visible signal so they aren’t unnecessarily trapped or put under anesthesia again.<br/><br/>During her recovery, Lime tolerated gentle handling and allowed pets if approached slowly. She wasn’t aggressive — just cautious. Thoughtful. Quietly deciding whether humans were worth the investment. So far, she seems unimpressed. <br/><br/>Right now, she is not causing trouble. She is not tearing up furniture. She is simply existing… discreetly. I’m not in a rush to trap a kitten who is minding her own business and contributing only modestly to the overall black cat hair situation.<br/><br/>In the right environment, Lime would likely do beautifully as:<br/>• A workshop or barn cat<br/>• A warehouse or property companion<br/>• Or a low-pressure indoor cat in a very quiet home<br/><br/>If someone wants to attempt focused socialization, we are open to a foster-to-adopt plan. We would coordinate a calm indoor trapping strategy to move her safely. (Yes, that will eventually need to happen anyway. No, I am not sprinting after her with a net today.)<br/><br/>Meanwhile, her buddy Lemon is making real progress. He’s out in the living room most of the day now, hanging with people and the other cats. He’s not ready for pets or holding yet, but he’s choosing proximity — and that’s huge. We’ll get there. Lime may surprise us yet.<br/><br/>In a foster-to-adopt situation, there is no adoption fee up front. You provide food, litter, and routine supplies, and we cover medical care. If it isn’t a good fit at the end of the foster period, we take her back. No harm, no foul.<br/><br/>If you’ve ever wanted to share your space with a mysterious, self-governing miniature panther — Lime is accepting applications.<br/><br/>Apply to adopt this kitten: https://tabbystinytabbies.org/adoption-application<br/><br/>Support our rescue: https://link.content360.io/tabbystinytabbies

Lime is sleek. Lime is observant. Lime is… somewhere in my house.

About two weeks ago, she quietly slipped free from her indoor catio condo and has since chosen independent living within the greater rescue household. She has been spotted approximately six point three times — always silently, always briefly, like a very small, very elegant cryptid.

We already have two indoor feral black cats (Black Mamba and her daughter Luci), so apparently we are now a specialty facility for elusive house panthers. What’s one more shadow with eyes?

Because she's so elusive, we only have one photo of her from the day she was trapped, but she looks like just about every other sleek, sneaky ninja.
