I adopted Keanu in 2019, a week after my 2nd cat, India, died suddenly. My girl of 20 years, Luna, had died a month before that. India's death was a surprise and a shock and I was absolutely miserable. I wanted nothing more than to open my heart to another kitty, because I simply can't fathom existing without one. I saw Keanu, then Robbie, on a local rescues page. He was six years old and had been up for a couple of months. I fell in love with his bright eyes and beautiful fur, and I met him a few days later. I took him home the same day we met, and as soon as he got home it was like he always belonged to me. Instantly clicked. He never experienced anxiety or hid, he walked around with his tail fully upright and took over the whole apartment. I changed his name because his old name was my ex's name, and I couldn't have that. So Keanu Reeves it was, named after one of the best celebrities to exist.
Keanu, like me, has asthma. He also has feline hypersthesia and arthritis. Despite those things, he lives a very spoiled life, and he loves almost any person he can meet. He's the first to greet people at the door and he's always sneaking into laps. He's my pretty baby and I love him so much!
