Tricia Helfer’s official site reports Tricia will be attending the 2nd Annual “Fur Ball at the Skirball” Kitten Rescue fundraising gala on December 5 2009, as hosted by The Office actress Jenna Fischer. Kitten Rescue, a Los Angeles-based non-profit shelter for homeless and abandoned cats, is one of Tricia’s dearest animal charities. As some of you may recall, Tricia also attended the premier event in September 2008.
Tickets to the event are now available via KittenRescue.org at $125 apiece. Please remember all proceeds go to Kitten Rescue and the Kitten Rescue Sanctuary. This year’s event will again be hosted by Jenna Fischer. From KittenRescue.org:
Please join Kitten Rescue in celebrating 12 successful years of animal rescue in Los Angeles. The Fur Ball at the Skirball will feature celebrity guests, cocktails and Hors D’Oevres, dinner, live entertainment, a silent auction, raffle and much more! All proceeds of the fundraiser will benefit Kitten Rescue’s programs and the Kitten Rescue Sanctuary. We hope to see you there!

For the past month, Katee “Starbuck” Sackhoff’s official site as well as Tricia Helfer’s official site have premiered audio clips of Sackhoff and Tricia’s Battlestar Galactica fan Q&A series, as presented by their respective official sites. Best friends Tricia and Katee answered to fans’ questions about their respective work on Battlestar Galactica.
Last week, Part 6 was premiered online, and is available for listening below. In Part 6, Tricia and Katee discuss among other things their favorite directors throughout the series, how new directors were able to adjust to such a complex show, and how much stuntwork they were allowed to do.

Each year, tens of thousands of seals, many of whom are still babies, are massacred. It’s time to demand a permanent end to Canada’s crue seal slaughter.
Some of you will recall Tricia Helfer’s last year’s PETA “Be an Angel for Animals” campaign, in which she posed with one of her many cats, Mr. Nix. This year, Tricia has joined the likes of Perez Hilton, Grace Park, Jennie Garth, Kelly Osbourne and Jorja Fox in the PETA “Save the Seals” campaign, advocating ending the killing of seals for fur in Canada. From PETA.org:
The gorgeous Canadian actor and model, best known for playing the deadly and delicious Number Six on the Sci Fi Channel hit show Battlestar Galactica, spoke out against the seal slaughter during her last PETA photo shoot, so we knew she’d be a perfect addition to PETA’s “Save the Seals” ad series.
Tricia joins an ever-growing list of compassionate celebrities who are calling for an end to Canada’s annual slaughter, in which tens of thousands of seals are shot or bludgeoned to death for their fur.
Check out a clip of Tricia Helfer as Number Six in this clip from the upcoming Syfy made-for-TV movie Battlestar Galactica: The Plan, on DVD and Blu-Ray October 27.
