The kitten was saved, and she and her littermates were transferred to the Escambia County Animal Shelter in Pensacola, Florida. The kittens were being cared for properly, but they were set to be relocated to the Providence Animal Center in Media, Pennsylvania, for a better life.
Amy Cool, a volunteer at the Escambia shelter, agreed to foster the kittens as they waited for their transfer date.
They were all quite beautiful and friendly, but Candy Corn, the small cat, rapidly demonstrated her devotion for her guardian.
In a couple of minutes, he gained confidence and climbed onto Amy’s shoulders, following her around the house. There was no doubt in Candy’s mind that nothing made her happier than being close to her foster mother.
“She went above and above in terms of caring for me. We’re a fantastic match because I want to have kittens all the time and give them plenty of love.”
Amy was quite unhappy when the kittens were transported to the Providence Animal Center, and she felt as if a piece of her had been taken away.
Candy Corn and her siblings were transported to volunteer Linnea Hermanson’s foster home after arriving at the shelter in early October. Before they could be adopted, the kittens needed to be given extra attention and encouraged to believe in themselves.
Candy was the tiniest of the group, and she was severely underweight, so it didn’t take long for Linnea to understand that she preferred human interaction to food.
Linnea explained:
“Most of the time, she’d ignore the meal and follow me about or come into my lap.” She wasn’t interested in eating if she could have her caregiver’s attention instead.’
Linnea began to leave the room so Candy could eat, but when she returned, she saw Candy waiting in the doorway.
