New Cats On The Blog :: March

As you may well know, SPCA receives mostly local cats and mongrels/mixed-breed dogs. At the moment, many people who are interested in adopting or purchasing a pet from a pet shop are already set on getting a pure-breed animal when there are so many more local animals in need of a roof over their heads! With the Love Knows No Pedigree campaign, SPCA would like to focus on finding loving homes for our lovely, Made-In-Malaysia cats and dogs. We strongly feel that our local buddies are as attractive, loving and interesting as their pure-breed counterparts and together with Radioactive, SPCA hope to boost adoption rates for these beautiful souls while also spreading positive messages of kindness and compassion towards all animals !

How Does The Project Work ?
Radioactive in collaboration with 5 local and international character artists have produced 650 limited edition t-shirts to help raise funds for SPCA, while increasing public awareness on their cause. 20% from each t-shirt sold will be donated to the SPCA, so pick up your animal-friendly t-shirt as soon as they hit the market in March !

When to Get Them ?
The campaign will be launched in on the 17th March 2007 at the One Utama Rainforest Area, attended by Channel [V] VJ’s and local celebrities. Several cats, puppies and dogs will be brought for adoption, and the organizer are planning some fun activities for all who attend the event! The T-shirts will be available in all Radioactive outlets nationwide from March onwards, so be on the look-out for them ! To get a sneak-peek at the designs, visit Radioactive

Trubus, a reputable Indonesia based argriculture magazine had organized a cat show on February 4th but the show had to be postponed to February 25th due to unexpected flooding in Jakarta during that time. The cat show was held in conjuction with their Trubus Agro Expo WTC M2 2007 which was held at WTC Manggadua shopping complex, located approximately 35 minutes from the heart of Jakarta. I was honoured when the show organizer of the cat show had contacted and invited me to be their judge.

Therefore, first and foremost, I would like to thank Trubus for inviting me to be the judge for their cat show. Secondly to Ibu Eva for making my stay in Jakarta a comfortable and memorable one. Finally, to the stewards for the show; Pristi, Bima, Rico and others whom had assisted me and had taught me a few useful Indonesian language.

I must compliment the exhibitors for grooming their cats very well and keeping them healthy and in shape. There were 3 categories; Imported Pedegrees, Local Bred Pedigrees and Non-Pedigree, each category were divided to Male Open, Female Open and Kitten Open classes.
