The safest place for cats is indoors away from cars, predators, diseases and other hazards. PITTSFIELD, Mass. The Berkshire Humane Society appreciates well-meaning people picking up cats they believe to be strays and bringing them to the shelter but cautions against this act unless a person is positive that the kitty is, in fact, a stray. With warm weather on the horizon, residents are bound to see more cats roaming their neighborhoods, many of whom are outdoor cats just going about their daily routine. During the spring and as the weather starts to turn cold, the beginning of winter, we see an influx of people rightfully being concerned about the cats that they see outside, feline manager Erin Starsja said. In warmer weather like this, indoor-outdoor cats that are owned tend to spend more time outside, so they re more seen, so we see an influx of those coming to us.

DALTON â Imagine trying to find a small white Pomeranian, fluffy as all get-out, in a blizzard. Worse, imagine being that little pooch, Rocky, out alone in a blizzard, two weeks after being separated from his owner.
If Rocky could talk, heâd likely share one of the most harrowing accounts of coming through last weekâs norâeaster. And as of Monday, of a loving reunion.
On the day that saw a celebrated conjunction of planets, Rocky wasnât the only missing pet to be back in the embrace of its owners in the Berkshires.
