Miata is a young black-and-white male domestic shorthair who came into our care in October 2025, and made quite the first impression! Someone arrived hoping to surrender him, but Miata slipped away in the parking lot before staff could secure him. After an extensive search turned up nothing, everyone feared he'd vanished for good... until the next day. A staff member was startled to discover a tiny stowaway hiding inside her car engine! After nearly two hours of patient coaxing, Miata finally emerged, completely unharmed. Because of his adventurous hiding spot, he earned the name Miata. Miata is a very shy boy who is still learning that the world can be a safe place. He'll do best in a calm, patient home where he can taking things at his own pace and build trust slowly. With time, gentle handling, and lots of understanding, this sweet survivor has the potential to blossom into a wonderful companion.
His adoption fee is $100 and includes spay/neuter, up to date on vaccines, de-worm, flea treatment, and microchip ID.

More about this shelter
Valley Animal Center houses thousands of dogs and cats annually until they are placed in loving homes. Majority of our shelter animals are rescued from local animal control agencies who have no more space for their animals. Even animals who have been abused, mistreated, abandoned, and injured are cared for and nurtured until a loving home is ready to adopt them.
We are easily accessible to the residents of the entire six-county region it serves. Even individuals from out of the area and out of state have come to Valley Animal Center to adopt animals from us and utilize our clinic services.
Our mission is to unite dogs and cat with loving people but it does not simply end at the adoption process. With our low-cost clinic, a membership-based dog park, and humane education resources found on our website, we want to ensure our community has easy access to resources that will help them along in their pet ownership journey.
