Rescue FAQs

We are a no-kill, cage-free, cat only shelter established in 1974. We are a 501(c)3 non profit, and registered with the Mass State Dept of Agriculture. Volunteer Humane Society has been helping cats in the Lancaster MA area for 30 years. We house 20-25 cats and 15-20 kittens at our shelter. All cats are up to date on shots and have been neutered. Our kitties reside in a home-like open environment (no cages) and have lots of socialization and play time every day with our many wonderful VHS volunteers. All animals are spayed/neutered, felv/fiv, vaccinated, dewormed, and vet checked before being placed on the adoption floor. We have regular adoption hours and we will also do private appointments with several days prior notice, via email, for adult cats.
We serve all of Massachusetts
