Bevis looks really bored with shelter life.
Animal Protectors of Allegheny Valley, a small no-kill shelter in New Kensington, north of Pittsburgh.
But small doesn’t mean they aren’t full of cats during kitten season. While they’ve got creative special deals on feline adoptions and fosters all the time, they’ve got two special offers for Adopt a Cat Month.
At left, meet Bevis, domestic short hair, black male, neutered adult, “Bevis came to the shelter with a nasty infection (let’s just say it was under his tail). All healed now and looking good, this black cat is about as sweet and loving as you could want. Come in and meet Bevis.”
The Beauty of the Black Cat
Adopt one black cat or kitten and receive a $10 adoption discount.
Adopt a pair of black cats or kittens and receive a $25 adoption discount.

Here's Gilligan...

...and here's Ginger!
Then how about this pair! You may have to be of a certain age to recognize their names…Gilligan and his sister, Ginger were returned from placement. They were both adopted as young kittens. Back at the shelter, they are missing the comforts of home. While not required, it would be nice to see them go home together.

A Block Print Dedicated to Two Very Special Cats

Awakening, block print
Quote reads: “‘Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.’–Anatole France. Dedicated to my prince and princess and all those since who’ve awakened their part of my soul.”
One last block print from the existing collection…”Awakening” was inspired by my close companions Kublai and Sally who ran the household together for about 12 years and who actually slept curled like this.
Read my post on Portraits of Animals Marketplace for more details.
Also, I finally have all my current block prints posted on Etsy. Visit these galleries for more information:
and a few entries in Household.
Now on to some new designs!
