✨🐣 EASTER ADOPTION FEE SPECIAL 🐣✨
🍭💗 MEET CANDY! 💗🍭
Hi there! My name is Candy and I’m shy but sweet - just like my name. My back story is a bit of a sad one, but don’t let that put you off! I’m slowly learning to love and trust humans and enjoy all the luxuries that this nice indoor life has to offer. I’m sure when I meet my furever family I’ll come out of my shell even more. I can’t wait!
I had it pretty rough living on the streets when my knights in shining armour - the Perth Rescue Angels - came in and swept me off my feet. I was heavily pregnant and hungry and didn’t know where to go. Luckily, they took me straight to my foster mum’s home and gave me a safe and comfortable place for me to give birth and bring up my kittens in the best possible way. Now, they’re all big and grown up and are living their best lives in their furever homes, it’s my turn!
Nature
Candy is a super shy girl but she is getting braver by the day. She loves her feline family, but is still figuring out her way with the humans, and is more than happy to just take a backseat and watch the goings-on in the foster home. Still, she’s getting more curious and with time is sure to learn to love pats and scratches - especially when she gets to watch her furry friends enjoying them too!
After spending most of her life on the streets, Candy is still pretty skittish and scares easily. She hates loud noises or sudden movements so will need a quiet home with lots of good hidey holes where she can run to if she gets a bit overwhelmed. She’s also had to have some teeth removed and is FIV-positive, which means she’ll need friendly cat buddies and to be an inside-only cat - though a home with a fully enclosed cat run would also be perfect!
Companions (Children, Cats & Dogs)
Candy LOVES other cats and is super cat friendly. She’ll need slow and supervised intros to make sure they get along, but having a good feline friend will really help to bring her out of her shell even more, and watching them enjoy human love and affection is sure to help make her want some soon too! Candy currently lives with two doggos, but she’s only met them through a screen door and hasn’t shown any interest at all. She doesn’t mind older kids, but would definitely struggle in a home with young children and would be better suited to a calm and mature environment.
Likes / Dislikes
Candy loves food and hanging out with her buddies. She’s pretty independent and happy to find a quiet spot to perch and snooze or watch the world go by, but she’ll let you know when she’s hungry and looks forward to breakfast and dinner every day!
My PURR-fect home would be a quiet and calm one with a kitty or two to keep me company and a loving family who are able to give me unconditional love, time, patience and understanding to help me grow into my best cat self and live my best cat life.

Adoption Fee: $50 until 30th April 2024 as part of our Easter Adoption Fee Special
*Candy's adoption fee includes vet check, sterilisation, vaccination, microchip, flea and worm treatment
Medical notes: Candy has Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) which is a virus that can affect her immune system, however, she can still potentially live a long healthy life. FIV is transmitted through deep bite wounds. Due to her FIV, Candy will need to be an indoor only cat. FIV cats can live harmoniously with other cats however slow introductions are required to ensure they do not fight.
Candy was exposed to Ringworm, which is a common fungal infection, and cat flu, a respiratory infection. She did not show symptoms and was given the all clear by the vet.
🐾 Perth Rescue Angels recommends Advantage and Advocate from Elanco Animal Health for all of your furry family members’ flea and worming needs.
