Vanderburgh Humane Society

Vanderburgh Humane Society Leading our community to end pet overpopulation through Adoption, Spay/Neuter, and Humane Education.
(1077)

The Vanderburgh Humane Society (VHS), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, was founded in 1957. We receive no tax-based funding whatsoever and we are not affiliated in any way with the Humane Society of the United States. Therefore, we depend solely on the generosity of the corporate community and the public at large to continue, and hopefully expand, the much-needed services we offer. Located in E

vansville, Indiana, we serve more than 11,000 pets and their families each year through a variety of programs. We are a founding member of EPAW, the Evansville Partnership for Animal Welfare, launched in 2013.

🚨 Do you plan on never having kids, or at least not for the next 20ish years? No other pets? 🚨

Then you might be the PERFECT match for Toast! 🐱✨

Toast is a 3-year-old tabby with enough personality to fill an entire household—which is convenient, because she'd really prefer to be the only thing in it. 👑

She's a one-of-a-kind companion who will keep you on your toes and ensure life is never boring. 🎭 Toast is looking for someone who's ready to make her the center of their universe, because she fully intends to be the center of yours. 🌎

Before applying, please make sure you meet the following "requirements":

🔴 A laser pointer must be kept within arm's reach at all times. Trust us—you'll want a quick distraction handy when things get a little... chaotic.

👀 Be prepared to be judged. Eating? Judged. Working? Judged. Simply existing? Also judged. Toast is always watching.

💻 If you own a laptop, proceed with caution. Leaving it open is considered a formal invitation for Toast to sit directly on the keyboard and potentially draft an email to your boss that could jeopardize your career. 📧🙀

🚫🐶🐱 Other pets? Hobbies? Personal space? Toast would prefer you didn't. She's looking for a full-time fan club consisting of exactly one member: you.

Toast is bold, hilarious, and overflowing with sass. 💅 She's searching for someone who appreciates a little mischief, a lot of personality, and is ready to fully commit to the Toast lifestyle.

Think you have what it takes? 🤔
Apply today and let Toast decide if you're worthy.

So many shout-outs are in order for all who have helped with our laundry renovations over the last couple of weeks! 🧺

Thanks to Ivy Tech - Evansville who took several bags, and their mascot Rex the lion brought the first couple clean loads back today! 🦁

Thanks to our neighbors at Don’s Cleaners who, for many years, have always helped us out when we’ve needed temporary laundry solutions. They’ve come through again this time, as shown by the photos of just one van load we took over this week. 🚐

And thanks to our many volunteers & supporters (and staff) who have hauled laundry to wash either at their own homes, at a laundromat, or at Don’s. 🫧

Our laundry room paint & floor is looking fabulous and should be done very soon — swipe for a sneak peek of the before & after! 🫣

‼️HELP NEEDED‼️

We are in desperate need of Friskies Pate cat food for the cats in our care and dry cat food for Margie's Pet Food Pantry!

We currently have 195 cats in our care at the shelter and wet food is essential to their health and well-being. We need your help to keep them happy and well-fed while they wait for their forever homes.

We are also in need of dry cat food (any kind) to re-stock our pet food pantry which is a vital resource for many in our community! You can send any dry food directly to our shelter at 400 Millner Industrial Drive Evansville, Indiana 47710 or just bring it by the shelter and let us know it's for the food pantry!

Send wet food directly to us here, or drop it off at the shelter:

🧺 Laundry SOS‼️

We are currently unable to use our washer and dryer, and we could really use your help!

If you're able to lend a hand, we have bags of dirty laundry on our back porch for volunteers to pick up and take home.

We kindly ask that you wash the laundry in HOT water with detergent and bleach or other alternatives. Once cleaned, please dry the items on medium to high heat. 🧼💦

When you're done, simply return the clean laundry to the labeled bin in our front lobby. Thank you so much for your support and to everyone that has pitched in already! 🤝
