Description
Print I made for my animator friend Kaukab 's kittie fundraiser ! She and her husband have been actively going out of their way to rescue and place the many stray cats that roam their neighbourhood for years now, and because they will be relocating soon they have been raising money to send the entire colony to a cat sanctuary where they will be cared for. If that's not dedication I don't know what is!They actually made their funding goal within a couple of days, which is astounding, but any additional funds donated at this point will go towards vet visits for the cats/be donated to the cat sanctuary itself, so - still a good cause, and you can snag yourself some awesome art from the NY animation community to boot!

I think this is puurrrrfect
Love the simple colour scheme and variety of expressions and 'breeds' It's always lovely to see something new from you
My heart goes out to your friend for dedicating her time to the stray cats. That's such a noble cause <3 I'm really glad she managed to make her target

Thanks so much! This was a lot of fun to do and I am considering doing some more in this vein to sell as prints. The cats are all safely in their new home, so everyone's efforts paid off

Very nice, I'm guessing some of the breeds are Siamese, turkish angora, domestic short hair and persian, right?

'Domestic shorthair' isn't a breed, it's what they label shorthaired cats that aren't really any particular breed (moggies) - which let's face it is the vast majority of cats. As to the rest - yeah I stuck a Siamese and persian in there because they have pretty distinctive looks and are quite popular as pets, but other than that none of these cats are supposed to be any any breed This was for a fundraiser for stray cats, I just wanted to see how many different cat designs I could come up with!
Thanks, glad you like!

Oh, ok... I guess I was going by what I looked up on wikipedia. Nice that oyu made this to help stray cats, my sister had a diluted calico and a friend of mine had a Maine Coon mix both were born strays and two of the best looking cats I've ever seen.
