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!

Beautiful portraits of cats shown! My kitty would love her portrait done too!
I would like Towncats of Morgan Hill to be the recipient of the second portrait. They are the wonderful no kill shelter where I got my Charlie.

I would love to give the second portrait to Safeplace (Domestic Violence Shelter). In addition to supporting victims of DV, Safeplace makes sure their pets are taken care of when leaving an abusive home. Safeplace and their volunteers raise money to pay for vet bills and transportation of their pet.

What a lovely idea to give a portrait as a gift. My favorite charity is LifeLine Animal Project, http://www.atlantapets.org They have LOTS of special kitties (and doggies) there. I’m sure they’d have a hard time picking just one special kitty. But, they can do it. I have lots of faith in them.

This is a really lovely offer. I would donate it to my local group SANS (Spay and Neuter Syracuse). SANS has the wonderful “Pawcasso: Art By, For and About Animals” fundraiser/ silent auction every year.
