On Monday 10th August, the Darwin Hash House Harriers jogged through Darwin city’s streets in their finest blond wigs, white dresses and disastrous make-up for their annual charity run, dubbed ‘The Pure Blonde Run’.
This year over 40 runners, including police officers, engineers, tradies and business people, frocked up for the event and raised, a whopping $1956.90 for the RSPCA Darwin.
Greg Sanderson, representative of the Hash House Harriers, presented a cheque to RSPCA Darwin President, Amanda Stoker and said “they knew the RSPCA needed assistance & were really pleased with the amount of money raised”.
The money raised will be used to help care for surrendered, neglected & abandoned animals at the Darwin RSPCA Shelter.

The first Cat Show for the year was held on Sunday 22 March. The shows are organised by the Cat Association of the NT. Since November 2007, they have invited both the RSPCA and Paws to enter our shelter cats. The main aim of this is to hopefully find homes for them and this has been successful in the past.

We entered 8 of our special cats and they were judged by 2 professional judges, one from Queensland and the other from Alice Springs. The cats all behaved very well and received glowing comments from the judges. First prize from both judges in the male domestic cat section went to Cuddles (pictured below), our sweet ginger boy. His name certainly suits his personality. Eva won first prize from one judge in the female domestic cat section and our sweet teenager, Pepper Ann won first prize in the female section. All our 8 cats went back to the shelter with ribbons and certificates which will be displayed on their pens.

The cats want to say a big thank you to those special volunteers who helped on the day, Lindsay, Caroline, Tamika, Heather, Natalie, Caitlin and Naomi.
It was also good for the cats to see RSPCA supporters there who came to see our cats at their best.
