Berkshire Humane Society Pet(s) of the Week: Meet Niko & Fella

Every Wednesday at 8:30 we're joined by John Perreault, Executive Director of the Berkshire Humane Society to discuss all the happenings at their Barker Road facility, plus talk about their Pet of the Week.

This week's Pets of the Week are Niko and Fella. If you’re looking for the best of both worlds regarding cats these boys are the cat’s meow! Niko is a 1.5-year-old tiger and white domestic shorthair, and Fella is a 5.5-year-old tiger and white shorthair.

This duo originally arrived at Berkshire Humane Society back in October of 2023 as a shy pair. Adopted in December of the same year, they acclimated to their new home with time and patience and built up their confidence. Their adopters worked with them, but it was evident the pair needed to be the only cats in a home, so they were returned to the shelter so that they would have the opportunity to find a new home.

They were adopted out again in April of 2024, but were recently returned to the shelter, sadly due to the passing of their most recent adopter. So, now they find themselves in search of a home where someone is again willing to provide them time to acclimate and feel comfortable.

Once these boys adjust, they are affectionate, sweet and love to cuddle up in bed with you. They come when called, particularly Fella who also loves to "talk back" and follow his people around. They have lived indoors only and are bonded, so they will be required to go home through the shelter's "Buddy Program".

If you think you may be their lucky charm, please fill out a cat adoption application and speak to the feline staff at Berkshire Humane Society directly. (413)-447-7878 ext. 124
