Kitten with special needs looking for special home in New York: Candy Corn is a 'gorgeous boy'

Candy Corn — a "playful, loving, adorable" dilute orange domestic shorthair tabby in New York with a few special needs — is looking for a loving home. 

"He is looking for a foster-to-adopt home while he continues his medical care at ARF," the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, Inc. (ARF) told Fox News Digital. 

Tiny Candy Corn is only four months old. He weighs 4.36 pounds, said the shelter.

He was brought to ARF through a trap/neuter/release program called "Operation Cat." 

The kitten "definitely had a rough start in life" before he came to the shelter, ARF said in an email. 

"Visually impaired, Candy Corn also has some other special needs," said the shelter. 

"This gorgeous boy spends his day in an office playing with toy mice, snuggling in the desk chair and making sure everyone stays busy," the shelter also said.

Candy Corn is "lovable and fun" and is usually near his "beloved stuffed duck." 

"Help us give Candy Corn the sweet life he deserves," said ARF. 

Anyone interested in adopting Candy Corn should contact the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, Inc. 

The ARF Adoption Center is located at 124 Daniels Hole Road, East Hampton, New York, 11937. 

The center is open for adoptions 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. 

CAT WITHOUT A HOME, NAMED MS. CRABTREE, NEEDS A NEW FAMILY TO LOVE HER

While it is common knowledge that dogs need to be walked on a daily basis, cats, too, need to have physical and mental exercise, explained the shelter. 

Samantha Bell, "resident cat expert" at the Best Friends Animal Society, shared with Fox News Digital three ways cat owners can exercise their furry friends. 

One way to ensure a cat gets moving, said Bell, is to get another cat. 

"Having two cats automatically increases [their] exercise since they'll inevitably chase each other" — and maybe even play together, she also said. 

Putting a toy or treat on top of something that needs to be climbed can encourage climbing and exploring "vertical territory," Bell explained. 

Cat owners can also introduce a leash and harness system to their pets and take them for walks. The leash will "give them the opportunity to safely explore new places," said Bell. 

It is imperative, however, that a cat owner consult with a veterinarian before putting a cat on an exercise plan, Bell continued.

"Just remember, [the amount of] physical and mental enrichment needed depends on your kitty’s age and medical conditions," she added.

Kansas Republican Sen. Moran says 'cyber-criminal' stole nearly $700K from campaign

The FBI is investigating allegations that cyber criminals stole nearly $700,000 from Kansas Republican Senator Jerry Moran's campaign, according to a letter the campaign sent to the Federal Elections Committee.

On Dec. 8, 2022, Moran campaign treasurer Timothy Gottschalk notified the FEC of "fraudulent activity by a third-party cyber-criminal" that was included in the campaign's finance reporting, according to a Form 99 filing. 

Moran's campaign informed the FEC that on Nov. 14, their office was contacted by Astra Bank and notified of potentially fraudulent activity concerning two wire transfers to SRCP Media Inc. that totaled $690,000. 

The first wire transfer was sent on Oct. 25, for $345,000 and the second wire was sent on Nov. 9, for $345,000.

The letter states that Moran's campaign reported the alleged theft to the Republic County Kansas Sheriff's Office on Nov. 16. From there the case was transferred to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and remains under investigation.

On Nov. 23, Moran's campaign was notified by Astra Bank that $168,184.03 of the Nov. 9 wire transfer was recovered from Wells Fargo Bank, according to the letter. 

The FEC filing was first reported by Raw Story, a left-wing progressive news website. 

Fox News has reached out to Moran's office for comment.

"Cyber criminals targeted the accounting firm employed by Moran For Kansas and money was wired to fraudulent bank accounts," a Moran campaign spokesman told the Kansas City Star. "As soon as a discrepancy was realized, it was reported to law enforcement."

"We are currently pursuing all avenues available to recover the money and there is an ongoing investigation with the FBI," the spokesman added. 

Moran handedly won reelection to a third term in the Senate in November, defeating Democrat Mark Holland 60.1% to 36.9%. Moran's campaign spent more than $4.6 million in the 2022 election cycle, according to FEC filings.
