Heather Miller is the communications and development manager at Cat Adoption Team (CAT). A life-long animal lover, Heather started in animal welfare work as a volunteer at PAWS Chicago. In 2011, she joined the CAT staff as a shelter associate, and she was promoted to her current position in 2013. In her role, Heather manages CAT’s communications and fundraising efforts and supports organization-wide events and activities like the annual Kitten Palooza adoption event.
