My first thought for you was ALSO a rabbit. They can be little trained, run free in the house and often demand scritches and huggles and can live healthily within the time frame you mentioned. And they do have rescue groups, etc.
It will make you laugh, and also make you realize how much work they are.
I find cats to be independent and demanding, according to temperament. Sometimes you get one that's very touchy, sometimes you get one that lets you know it lives with you as a favour to you.
