ADOPT A PET
Miley is a 3-year-old female calico cat. She’s been waiting on a home since March, and the reason is because she’s quite shy. In a loud, busy room full of visitors, you will find Miley hiding in the comfort of a cubby hole. But one-on-one, once you have her snuggled on your lap in a quiet setting, she’s your best friend! Miley’s adoption fee is normally $40, or only $20 through September 14th. She is already spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated – move-in ready. Contact Vanderburgh Humane at (812) 426-2563 for adoption details!
