Candice Mikenas

Animal News Writer

Candice is a lifelong cat lover, passionate animal welfare advocate, and proud cat mom of two. She currently works with KitNipBox as a partnership and marketing associate, and through her work, she's formed and nurtured relationships with over 200 animal shelters and counting! She ensures that shelters receive not only financial support to care for their furry residents, but they're also sent monthly boxes of toys and treats to bring the kitties comfort and joy as they wait for a second chance at life.

Beyond her work, Candice is dedicated to supporting the kitty community however she can—from shining a spotlight on shelter cats who need loving homes to spreading awareness about the importance of adoption and animal care. Her mission is simple: to make the world a better place, one purr at a time!
