About 4003 - Candy
šš MEET CANDY! šš
Hi there! My name is Candy and Iām shy but sweet - just like my name. My back story is a bit of a sad one, but donāt let that put you off! Iām slowly learning to love and trust humans and enjoy all the luxuries that this nice indoor life has to offer. Iām sure when I meet my furever family Iāll come out of my shell even more. I canāt 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 didnāt know where to go. Luckily, they took me straight to my foster mumās 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, theyāre all big and grown up and are living their best lives in their furever homes, itās 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, sheās 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. Sheās also had to have some teeth removed and is FIV-positive, which means sheāll 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. Sheāll 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 sheās only met them through a screen door and hasnāt shown any interest at all. She doesnāt 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. Sheās pretty independent and happy to find a quiet spot to perch and snooze or watch the world go by, but sheāll let you know when sheās 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.

Colour: Tabby
DOB: 03/02/2017
Adoption Fee: $100
Candy's adoption fee includes vet check, sterilisation, vaccination*, microchip, flea and worm treatment.
*Vaccinations are subject to availability due to a worldwide vaccine shortage. Our adoption team will notify you if the cat/kitten you apply to adopt has NOT been vaccinated.
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.
