MILES's Story

My name is MILES! <br/>When a kind woman spotted me on her security cameras, she knew I needed help right away. Something had injured my upper lip, causing a severe infection. <br/><br/>After a vet visit and some much‑needed care, my damaged lip eventually fell off — and my Hiawatha Animal Humane Society foster mom joked that he suddenly looked a bit like Elvis! Now I’m fully healed, I am healthy, handsome, and genuinely one of the happiest boys around.<br/><br/>Granted, I can be a little shy when I first arrive somewhere new, but once I have a chance to warm up, I have many stories to tell. I’m a big talker with a lot of opinions, and I‘ll happily narrate my day to anyone who will listen. <br/><br/>I love toys of every kind, definitely not picky in the slightest, and I will very dramatically flop over in front of you to request a belly rub like it’s one of my full‑time jobs. You can pick me up and handle me just fine, but I’m not much of a “being held” guy for long periods. I prefer affection on my own terms.<br/><br/>I know I would likely thrive in a home with female cats. I do tend to take issue with other male cats but I am perfectly content letting the ladies boss me around. I absolutely adore indoor life and am happiest watching the world safely from inside.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a sweet, quirky, talkative companion with a one‑of‑a‑kind smile, I think will be your purrfect guy.<br/>If you agree, call my foster mom, Missy, at 507-273-8800.<br/><br/>IMPORTANT: The HAHS adoption contract does not allow declawing of cats and kittens adopted from their organization.<br/><br/>My adoption fee is $150.

We do not have a shelter. All of our rescued, rehabilitated and then adoptable animals are cared for by volunteer foster families and treated like one of their own family pets while they await placement in their forever homes. We may have as many as 15 -20 dogs or cats available for adoption, or occasionally none for a short time. If you don’t see what you are looking for now, please revisit us again soon because our numbers change frequently! Also, when you find an animal on our site that interests you PLEASE PHONE THE FOSTER DIRECTLY. Their contact number is posted at the bottom of the pet’s description. All of our dedicated volunteers and animals thank you for your support!
