Rescue:
The sanctuary is located just out side of the city limits where were are accessible to people in
town and those in our rural community. Just as the fall school term was starting we received a
call from a woman who lives on a farm and had eight children, all girls. They live a life where
things are done the traditional way and transportation is by horse and buggy and not cars or
trucks. As would happen, their female barn cat had a litter of kittens and they asked “would you
like some kittens, we have enough”. This is where little K and her four other siblings came
from (Kandy, Kreamcicle, Karly, Kato and Karmel). As our volunteer pulled into the lane she
could see all the children lined up by the house, all dressed in simple dresses and bonnets,
holding the kittens carefully in their arms. They were a little sad to see them go, but were
happy to know that other children will have the advantage of owning a kitten themselves and
the kittens would be safe
Personality:
From Kandy’s foster mom: Kandy and her sisters are purr machines; you come into the room
or look at them and they start! This girl is bold! She loves to explore and wants to climb so
she can get a good look at what is going on. She loves to run, tumble and play with her sisters
as well. After a slow introduction she has gained her courage to play with the family lab cross
dog in the house, her favorite strategy is to touch the dog and run. Children: she is good with
those closer to twelve who are gentle with cats. She is a bit tentative at first, but then was right
in the action of chase and cuddles. Would be good in a home with older children and dogs
that want to play but also know how to be kind to kittens. Her favorite toys are string or ball toys
that she can chase. Kandy is ready to be adopted into her forever home with her sister Karly. One that will welcome them into the family and keep them safely indoors
