We have a bonus give-a-thon prize today from watercolor artist Jobi Harris. Jobi is offering two 8 x 10 custom water color portraits, one for you and one for your favorite charity. This is a great prize for a charity to receive because they could use it to honor a special kitty or volunteer, or they could use it for a fundraiser by offering it as an auction or raffle prize. The retail value is $150, so that could be a very nice fundraiser.
To enter to win, please leave a comment on this post with the name of the charity you would donate the second portrait to. The winner will be announced on Christmas Eve along with all the other give-a-thon winners. Thanks, Jobi!

How lovely!!! I would donate the second one to D’arcy’s A.R.C. in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada.
December 12th, 2010 at 12:19 pm

What a great thing to win! The worst part would be deciding which of my cats I’d have done! I suspect my charity would also have a hard time choosing, but it would certainly make a wonderful prize or silent auction fundraiser for them!
Good luck, Brookings Regional Humane Society!

December 12th, 2010 at 12:34 pm
What a great idea. People have so many misconceptions about cats that education is vital to ending abuse. The spcaLA tries to help as many animals as it can but like most organizations it relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers. I would love to be able to help them.
December 12th, 2010 at 12:34 pm
I love water color creations, and would love to have my sweetie Toronto painted. What a wonderful tribute to our furbabies. If I am so fortunate to win, I would like the second one to go to the Arizona Animal Welfare League http://www.aawl.org
December 12th, 2010 at 12:35 pm
These are beautiful. The Anaheim Feral Cat Project could really benefit from this as a fund raiser. They do such great work to improve the lives of truly needy cats on a shoestring budget, bless their hearts.
December 12th, 2010 at 12:36 pm
OMG! Our Moms Must have one of these to keep us around her always!
Comet Blue & Zephyr
And the DFW Humane Society in Irving, Texas, could raise a boat load of money with this wonderful portrait.

December 12th, 2010 at 12:54 pm
These portraits are super, stuningly beautiful!!! Cats are very difficult to paint, but these certainly have alot of character. I think that the eyes do the talking for these two wonderful cats and would make a most splendid addition to any wall.
December 12th, 2010 at 12:56 pm
Peninsula Humane in San Mateo, CA, where my disabled kitty Threegood and I met! They deserve all good things that come their way.

December 12th, 2010 at 1:21 pm
Wonderful portraits….would meake great fundraiser for Leftover Pets in Braselton, GA.
December 12th, 2010 at 1:22 pm
A memorial painting of my former cat, named Maddie would be perfect. She was a special needs cat and the Peninsula Humane Society http://www.peninsulahumanesociety.org/ spent many months and many hours of vet time getting her ready to adopt. While we got her with a chronic condition, her only special need as the only cat in our household was lots of love and affection. Of all of the cats we’ve had over the years, Maddie will always have a special place in our heart. She was the most affectionate and wonderful feline family member. We were devastated when she was diagnosed with terminal cancer after a wonderful 9 years in our family.
December 12th, 2010 at 1:22 pm
Beautiful!
The twin would go to
