About Candy Stripes

Candy Stripes is a lovely tortie with captivating eyes, waiting for her forever home. Rescued along with her kittens, she was a devoted mother, protective and attentive. Now, it's her time to shine.

On her own terms, she enjoys lounging on cat trees and observing birds and squirrels from her favorite window perch. Though she's been around dogs, she prefers them to keep their distance. Candy enjoys soothing back scratches, particularly near her tail, and loves belly rubs. Once you win her trust, you'll find a loyal friend for life. On top of her gentle nature, she has a playful side, running through mesh tunnels and chasing laser pointers and wand toys.
