My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Say a soft hello to Dean: a sensitive, gentle boy who takes a little time to feel safe — but once he does, his sweet personality truly shines. New situations and sudden movements can make him anxious, and he can be protective of his cozy spaces, especially blankets and hides. When approached too quickly or startled, Dean may hiss or growl to communicate that he needs a moment. With patience, slow movements, and a calm voice, however, he settles beautifully.
Once Dean has had a chance to get used to your presence, he relaxes visibly — soft eyes, neutral ears, and less tension — and begins to seek out affection in his own thoughtful way. He can be a bit conflicted about attention at first, often taking time before deciding he’s ready. When he does, he leans in enthusiastically, pushing into your hand with a deep, happy purr. Dean makes excellent biscuits and especially loves shoulder rubs, chin scritches, and butt scratches, which often earn you a full body stretch or a proud butt lift.
Dean is shy but incredibly sweet, and his confidence continues to grow with gentle, respectful interactions. He does best with people who understand feline body language and are happy to let him set the pace. In a calm, predictable home, Dean is sure to blossom into a devoted and affectionate companion.
If you have a quiet home and the patience to let a sensitive cat build trust at his own pace, Dean will reward you with some of the most meaningful cuddles — and purrs — you’ll ever earn.

From our earliest beginning, Calgary Humane Society was more than a shelter. As Calgary’s first-established animal welfare organization, connecting the lives of animals and people while providing essential animal services to the community remains our central priority.
Today, Calgary Humane Society (CHS) shelters almost 5,000 homeless animals each year. In 1922 we set out to help as many animals as we can and we will continue to do so by fostering the values of respect, compassion, commitment, teamwork, integrity and innovation.
Our mission is to help as many animals as we can.
Our vision is using innovative strategies to lead, inspire, and educate in the humane treatment of companion animals, fostering an enlightened community that consistently demonstrates respect and compassion for all animals.
Our dream is a community where animals are valued, humanely treated, and live enriched lives.
Calgary Humane Society is committed to creating a better tomorrow through education and collaboration.
