About Candy

Meet Candy, a gentle soul with stunning long silver fur. Born on October 1, 2020, she arrived at the rescue on October 10, 2025, after being surrendered from a large cat colony populated by around 100 cats. This shy beauty needs a calm and patient home to thrive. Although Candy gets along well with other cats, she typically prefers her own company. Coming from an environment with limited human interaction, she may take time to build trust. You might see her lounging in her cozy catio, where she feels safest. To help her warm up, take things slow—sit quietly nearby, speak softly, and avoid overwhelming her. With your patience, Candy just might discover the joy of human companionship. Think you can provide the loving home she needs?
