Our mission

To improve the lives and promote the humane care and acceptance of feral cats throughout Berkshire County and beyond.
Opportunities

Foster Cats and Kittens

If there are young kittens who are trapped before the age of 8 weeks, it’s possible to socialize them so that they can be brought to a shelter to be adopted out. We sometimes need foster homes to raise and socialize these kittens. This could involve caring also for their feral mother, or it could involve bottle-feeding kittens without mothers. If you become a foster volunteer, you would be called upon to help, but can determine in each case whether you have the time or experience to handle that particular foster task.

Become a Trapper

Trappers are at the core of our TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) mission. Most of the cats we help are feral or semi-feral. In the Berkshires, Animal DREAMS is the primary organization with the equipment and know-how to trap them for their vet appointment. Trapping requires dedication, the ability to work well with people, and the physical strength to carry cats in traps. Training is provided.
