HSCC is an independent, 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization that receives no city, state or federal funding. We are not affiliated with any national organizations, such as the Humane Society of the United States. We rely solely on the limited revenue generated by our programs and fees, and on the tremendous generosity of our community. In fact, the majority of our annual revenue comes from charitable giving! We serve Vermont’s most populated county, Chittenden, as well as Grand Isle County. Founded in 1901, HSCC has been serving both animals and people for well over 100 years. The original facility was built by June & Herb Davis, considered the modern-day founders of HSCC, but was outgrown by the late 1990’s. Our current facility was completed in October of 2002 and boasts nearly 12,000 square feet of animal care and adoption space, where we take in over 1,400 animals each year and welcome as many as 20,000 visitors annually. The majority of the animals at HSCC are cats and dogs, but we also provide care and services for small animals such as rabbits, ferrets, and guinea pigs.

Blind Cat Rescue & Sanctuary, Inc., about to celebrate its 20th anniversary, saves the lives of and provides a safe, healthy and loving forever home to cats who would be declared un-adoptable and immediately euthanized in high-kill animal control facilities because they are blind or test positive for FIV or feline leukemia. Without this sanctuary, they would have been euthanized. We continue to pursue our mission of educating the public about these cats and their ability to be loving family pets through our strong and ever-growing social media presence, 24-hour access cameras, regularly scheduled open houses, tours and volunteer opportunities. Using these tools, BCR’s global following continues to grow and its reach expand, demonstrating for people and other organizations about the true nature and abilities of blind, FIV- and feline leukemia-positive cats. Going beyond the shelter walls, BCR also works to alleviate the suffering and overpopulation of cats in feral populations through our ongoing spay and neuter program.
