Thousands of cat lovers invaded the Capitol City yesterday for the eighth annual Cat Show. Thursday Night Hockey teamed up with Pussy Galore (a feline charity group) to raise money for the Feline Rescue League of America which provides shelter and food for stray and abandoned cats. This year's representative for Thursday Night Hockey, Mark Rudz told The Pucking Files, "Thursday Night Hockey is a huge supporter of Pussy Galore and the many wonderful things they have done for cats over the years. When Pussy Galore came to TNH and asked if we could lend our support to their cause, it was a no brainer". Irene Katz a spokesperson for Pussy Galore said, "It is no secret that Thursday Night Hockey has raised millions for their charity "Hockey Fights Obesity", so we figured, who better to lend their name to our cause?" Katz told us, "Since partnering with TNH our fundraising has doubled". If you would like to donate to the Feline Rescue League of America then call 603 661-0357 and tell them that you would like to support Pussy. They accept all major credit cards.
Rudz told The Pucking Files, " The show was fantastic! I never knew how much fun you can have in a hockey rink full of cats. I met some of the most amazing people. Some of these cats are so so smart! Some of these cat people are just precious. It is the most fun I have had since game 7 of the NAHL finals. If a picture is worth a thousands words then these photos taken by our award winning photographers speak volumes of the joy that infested The Doug yesterday".
The highlight of the weekend's events was when they awarded the ribbons for "Best of Show" in three different breed catagories. There was a huge thunderous ovation that sent many of the cats running for cover. "One little fella was so startled by the applause that he leaped straight up in the air and clung to the jumbotron scoreboard. The Concord Fire Department had to be called in to get the frightened feline down. Other than that, it went purr-fectly", Rudz concluded. Here our our three winners:
