Variety of items, most one of a kind. Great volunteers and all proceeds benefit the animals. Have new baby items: cribs, strollers, car seats and more. Just ask one of the volunteers what's currently available.

Had an excellent experience! We hung out in the cat lounge, and got to know several kitties before deciding who to adopt. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Went back to donate some used items, and they seemed very grateful.

Recently adopted a 3 y/o cat from here and have been to the vet 3 times in the past 3 days. The first visit was a basic checkup, but they pulled out globs of black ear wax from his ears. The samples were tested and he was found to have a yeast/cocci infection in both ears. The day after the first vet visit, he vomited and I found a worm in his bile. Had to go back and get him deworming medication.

I called the humane society since I figured the cat should have been in relatively good health when I adopted him. The individual I talked to said that on their exam of him ( on 12/21), they found nothing in his ears and did not have the worm medication in so they weren't able to give it to him. I highly doubt within the few days I've had him, his ears got that clogged with wax and infected. Also, I was never informed of him missing that medication. Today, I've had to take my cat back to the vet due to him peeing blood. Overall, I'm not happy with the condition my cat was given to me in.

It's unfair on him to start up in a new space and place with new stress AND dealing with these various health concerns. I wish they had been more upfront about the missing medication and I'm really just not buying that they didn't see all the black wax in his ears.

Soooo many sweet babies (dogs and kittys) here! Staff is very kind and knowledgeable too. The Cat Room is amazing! They also have alot of great programs for the public, even you already own a pet, for example spay and neutering clinics and immunization clinics. The website has alot of info, but If you prefer to call, the staff will help you with whatever questions you have.

I can't even begin to explain my gratitude for this place. I adopted a sweet little cat at the end of January. The process was simple, and I got to pick her up about 4 days later when she was spayed. When I finally got her home, she came right out of the kennel and curled up next to me. I allowed healing time before introducing her to the other cat. Once these two met, they became inseparable and bonded immediately. Our home is so happy to have her. Thank you Vanderburgh Humane Society! We love our newest family member.
