Pet Drawings and Paintings
May and June 2020
Do you have an adorable cat, dog, or goldfish?
Here is a novel and super-fun way to improve the lives of neglected and abandoned cats in the Rutland, VT area and beyond at a time when funds are critically needed, from a safe distance. For a donation of $20 per pet, one of our volunteer “artists” will create a unique portrait for you to cherish always!
We’ll be upfront: You’re as likely to receive a stick figure as a masterpiece, as our volunteer artists range widely experience and age, but that’s half the fun! All proceeds will be used to continue our mission through spay/neuter and release or relocation, cat community care and management, fostering/socialization, and adoption.
$20 Donation:
You provide us with a photograph of your pet, and we will match your pet with one of our volunteer artists. You will receive a digital copy of the final artwork, and your pet’s picture along with their portrait will be displayed in our digital gallery. *Original provided upon request. **We will use your photo in our virtual gallery and other promotional materials.
$80 Donation:
In addition to the above, the custom portrait of your pet printed on canvas by Vistaprint and be sent to you. The size would be 8 1/2″ x 12″ or 12″ x 12″, depending on the portrait itself. If you want to wait to decide until after you see your portrait, and an additional donation would be $60. (Shipping to USA Only)
