*** SAFE 10/25/16 *** ABANDONED IN HER HOME….CANDY was found after two weeks in her previous owner’s home……A volunteer writes: Meet Candy: a super gregarious girl who bounds to the front of her kennel to meet and greet new people, who bleats like a baby goat instead of meowing, whose fluffy fur makes her a natural-born lap warmer. She came to us from a home, and her former owner had awesome things to say about her. Candy is good with strangers, playful, talkative, and behaved nicely when a teenage visitor came to the home, her previous person attested. She’s mellow and affectionate here in the cat adoption room, and she has this wonderful way of showering people with gentle affection that makes you feel like a million bucks. Trust me, you’ll never feel lonely if you have Miss Candy in your home……CANDY is a plumpette who needs a new PURRSON or PURRSONS!! She is AVERAGE rated and because of her weight is unable to groom well and so has a skin issue on her back….that can be cleared up and CANDY can get help with some weight loss!!
