Good news for the
sweet-toothed and the big-hearted: the RSPCA is holding its annual national
Cupcake Day on Monday August 18. It is set to be the biggest bake-off in the
Southern Hemisphere. If, like me, your baking skills are somewhat wanting, you
can contribute by purchasing a cupcake (or ten) and eating it in the name of a
good cause.
This year Cupcake Day
funds will be used to fight animal cruelty.
You can throw a morning
tea at work or home, host a high tea, set up a cupcake stall, hold a bake-off
or some other cupcake themed event. So go crazy with those piping bags.
How can your cupcakes
change lives?
- $10 provides an enrichment toy for a cat to help their development
- $30 will shelter and care for a neglected dog
- $40 microchips a cat or dog to help them find their way home
- $50 helps with emergency boarding for the animals of domestic violence victims
- $60 provides bedding, heat pads and lamps to keep a puppy warm
- $100 subsidises medical treatment for an injured dog or cat
- $150 will desex a kitten waiting adoption
- $240 will provide vaccinations and microchipping for animals living in remote and regional areas
- $350 keeps an RSPCA Inspector on the road fighting cruelty
