Tails of the
Painted Cats 2019
Cat Sponsors for Artists Needed
|
Cat Care Society is seeking artist sponsors for Tails of the Painted Cats 2019.
The cat forms recently arrived from Chicago and were distributed to their artists for painting and foster care until they are due back in March. The cats will then be photographed and prepared to go on their summer tour starting in May. The tour lineup includes the Lakewood Arts Council Gallery, The Depot Art Center in Littleton and the Lakewood Cultural Center.
The Artist Sponsorship program pays for the expenses incurred to get the project off the ground. The artists do not receive any compensation for their time and talent, so we help them through the process by providing the unpainted fiberglass form, a small stipend for supplies and a dinner ticket so they can watch their kitty go to its forever home. Covering these costs is vital to the success of this event. That's where our donors can lend a hand.
We hope you will consider a year-end donation that will help us make this signature event so successful. Cat Care Society is a 501c3. If you receive a required minimum distribution at year end, please consider using it to sponsor a cat. Based on your tax situation this may be a tax deductible contribution. The basic sponsorship level to cover the expenses listed above is $450. The next level is $600 which also includes a pair of dinner event tickets for the sponsor. All sponsors will be invited to a special Sneak Preview Champagne Reception on April 28, 2019, where they will meet the artist they sponsored and view all of the finished cats before they go on tour.
If you are interested in viewing the designs still available, please contact Jane Dorsey at 303-239-9680 Ext 16 or at [email protected]
The 2019 Tails of the Painted Cats Gala will be held at Pinehurst Country Club on September 14, 2019. Save the date!

My name is Shambika and I'm an 8 year old lady looking for a home of my own. I was adopted from Cat Care Society as a kitten, with another cat, and we lived in a nice home for many years with a human who loved us. She recently became very ill, and wasn't able to keep caring for us. She and her friends tried for months to find a new home for me and Meri-Isa, but no one was able to take us in. Luckily our human remembered Cat Care, and they took us back in to find us homes. We've been here for a few months, and things are going well, but I'm ready to find my new home now. I love to play, and to sit outside on the catio in the sunshine. I still like my sister Meri-Isa, but I would be okay if we went to separate homes.
Please come visit...I would love to meet you!

Shelter Hand Crafted Ornament Drive

Year end giving is often on people's minds at this time of the year, and one way to help is to contribute with a larger donation to Cat Care Society. You can do this with a sponsorship of a room, the Nibbles and Kibbles Food Bank, the hallway, or the entire shelter. Hand crafted and decorated wooden ornaments are being created for each of these. These ornaments will belong to you after the drive. Your generosity helps us to fulfill our mission of helping homeless, abused, and neglected cats.
Donation levels:
$250 Donation for any of the Blue, Orange, Gold, Red, Purple, Green, or Kitten Rooms
$250 Donation for Nibbles and Kibbles Food Bank
$500 Donation for the Grand Hallway
$1000 Donation for the entire Shelter
You can sponsor a hand carved ornament directly at the shelter in December or starting November 27th you can sponsor securely online.

Now that our remodeling is complete with new floors, benches, and a glass front cat viewing area, we will gradually add new feline furniture for cat enrichment. The towers, ramps, and Kitty Kasas we have chosen will provide more opportunities for cats to engage in the natural feline behavior that is so good for them....climbing, jumping, resting, hiding, scratching, and always-napping! Please watch for more details about these and how you can help with your support.
