Greetings!

Thanks to a generous match, this Giving Tuesday you can multiply our ability to save the lives of animals like Misha the kitten. Through the “Misha Match” an anonymous donor has committed to making a $10,000 gift to Berkshire Humane Society if we can raise $10,000 today. There’s never been a better day to make a gift to Berkshire Humane Society!

Misha was spotted in the bushes near the Housatonic River near downtown Pittsfield just two weeks ago. A passerby called Berkshire Humane Society to tell us about the stray kitten. We arrived to find Misha, a tiny black and white tuxedo kitty, barely six weeks old. There was no sign of other kittens or a momma cat.

Play the video to hear sweet Misha's little meow!
We scooped up the petite kitten and brought her to the shelter, where she is now safe and warm, with food in her tiny belly. She's also the darling of the facility!

Today is Giving Tuesday, an international day of generosity directed to nonprofits. If you choose to support our work, your gift stays right here in the Berkshires. It not only saves the lives of animals in our shelter, it also helps pet owners in need feed their pets, educate children about the importance of a humane world and provide a safe, temporary harbor for pets of owners with medical needs.

Giving Tuesday is the perfect day to help save the lives of pets like Misha. Can you help?
