*** Currently in a foster home. Meet & Greet will be arranged with an approved adoption application. *** I’m Dean — a black male kitten with a big story. I was found in a snowbank, barely holding on, my little body cold and still. A kind man saw me struggling and refused to look away. He scooped me up, warmed me, and made sure I got to Animal Ark where I could fight for my life. With gentle hands, warmth, and the love of a devoted foster mom, I slowly came back from the edge. I learned that blankets feel better than snow, that purrs come back even after fear, and that the world can be kind. Now I’m thriving. I adore the other kittens in my foster home — they helped teach me how to play again, how to trust again. Because of that, I’ll need to be adopted with a buddy or join a home that already has a friendly cat who can be my companion. I’m still a bit delicate, so I can’t go to a home with children under five. What else should you know about me? I’m playful, affectionate, and stronger than I look. I survived the cold, and now I’m ready for a warm, loving family to call my own. If you think your home might be the place where my story turns into a happy ending, please submit an adoption application so we can meet.
