Callum means "dove" and Callum's foster mom chose this name to symbolize the peace she hoped Callum would find. Callum came from an overcrowding situation and arrived terrified and with limited socialization to people. While in shelter, Callum preferred to spend his days hiding and hoping people would go away. His foster family worked hard to show Callum that people aren't so bad! In foster, Callum has learned the joys of being a pet - sunny windows, yummy treats, playtime with wand toys and cat TV! Callum has gained confidence and will often approach his foster family for treats (did you know Temptations are both tasty and fun to bat around?) or to give them a good sniff! He's even found his meow - it's rusty and deep and very cute! Ironically, the one aspect of being a pet that Callum doesn't like is petting! Therefore, Callum and his foster family are looking for a patient home with cat experience that would love a sweet and gentle dude to chill with. His new family will need to understand that the process of acclimating Callum to being petted will be very slow. Callum has previously lived with other cats and his foster family thinks that a polite and friendly cat buddy might help Callum gain confidence. If you would like to take a chance on a sweet and silly boy with petting boundaries, then reach out to Calgary Humane today.
