PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Berkshire Humane Society and Haddad Subaru are teaming up for "100 Cats for Christmas," a low-cost spaying and neutering event for cats on Wednesday, Dec. 18.
 
The program, funded by the $2,500 "Share the Love" grant from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and Subaru of America, aims to spay or neuter 100 cats.
 
Berkshire County residents can register up until Saturday, Dec. 14, at the shelter located at 214 Barker Road, for $25 on a first-come, first-serve basis. The fee also includes a rabies vaccination.
 
On the morning of Dec. 18, owners can drop off their cats at Berkshire Humane Society between 7 and 8 a.m. The cats must arrive at BHS in carriers with identification, including the owner's name and contact information, as well as the cat's name and description.
 
The sales staff from Haddad Subaru will drive the cats to their appointments at local veterinarians, who have reduced their fees for the event. After, the cats will be returned to the shelter for pick up.

It will be a shorter trip for Berkshire County basketball fans who want to see former Monument Mountain basketball star Dion Brown play home games next winter.
 
On Wednesday afternoon, Brown announced via the social media platform “X” that he is transferring to Boston College.
 
“I am proud to announce my decision to further my academic and athletic career at Boston College,” Brown tweeted. “I am hopeful for the future! Go Eagles.”
 
In 2023-24, Brown, then a sophomore at Boston College, was named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches’ Division I All-District Second team.
 
Brown was a first-team all-America East performer for the Retrievers last winter, breaking the school’s sophomore record for points with 607. He was third in the America East with 19 points per game and sixth in rebounding with 7.8 rebounds per game for UMBC, which went 11-21, losing to UMass-Lowell in the first round of the conference tournament. 
 
B.C. went 20-16 last winter, falling to the University of Virginia in the quarter-finals of the ACC tournament and advancing to the first round of the National Invitational Tournament.
