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! This would be wonderful to win, and my daughter could take a sweet reminder of her cat when she goes to college. I would like the J B Ogle Animal Shelter to be the other recipient.

I would love to get a picture of my Jenna, a sweet, gentle, and shy little soul. She is a pretty, medium long haired tuxedo kitty and my charity is the Forever Home Feline Ranch, 3600 Persimmon Drive, Springfield, IL 62712 currently. I think she would make a great cat portrait for the walls of the new ranch that is still being renovated for our felines to move into soon in Rochester township, near Springfield, in 2011. Love the watercolors.

I would love this to capture a portrait of Fiver, I think that Jobi would be able to capture her. I would donate the second portrait to Cat Adoption Team (http://catadoptionteam.org/)
December 12th, 2010 at 7:52 pm
Brilliant! I think the Maxfund will use it well…

This is a wonderful gift! I hope I win. The charity I’d give one too is Alley Cats & Angels. It would be a great fundraiser for them. http://www.alleycatsandangels.org/

December 12th, 2010 at 8:04 pm
Very cat like paintings indeed!
If I (or my cats) were lucky, our fav charity for the second painting would be Austin Pets Alive.
December 12th, 2010 at 8:06 pm
Love these
December 12th, 2010 at 8:06 pm
I would choose Caboodle Ranch as my charity.:) beautiful portraits!

Love these. Charity: Gastineau Human Society
December 12th, 2010 at 8:10 pm
What a wonderful prize! What a talented artist-simply catrific! What an honor. Tri-Valley Animal Rescue would definitely be thrilled with this as well.
December 12th, 2010 at 8:15 pm
Great-looking portraits! We would love to share with: http://www.catsontheweb.org
December 12th, 2010 at 8:21 pm
The second one I would donate toa local cat rescue here called Rocky’s rescue.
December 12th, 2010 at 8:22 pm
I have so many cats I wouldn’t know which one to immortalize so I would love to win this and give both to charity. One to C.A.T.S (Committed Alliance To Strays) http://www.kittensandcats.org and the other to the Southern Oregon Humane Society http://www.southernoregonhumane.org/ Both are trying to do a tough job in tough times.
December 12th, 2010 at 8:25 pm
Beautiful paintings! The kittehs and hoomans at http://www.willamettehumane.org/ would love this!
December 12th, 2010 at 8:30 pm
I love this artwork! My organization is Forever Home Feline Ranch at
http://www.felineranch.org.
December 12th, 2010 at 8:34 pm
These are so sweet! I would give mine to Heaven on Earth Society for Animals.
December 12th, 2010 at 8:35 pm
Beautiful work! Hm, which cat should be your muse… that’ll be tough
December 12th, 2010 at 8:36 pm
These are beautiful! I would love to be able to donate one to the Iowa City Animal Shelter (http://www.icanimalcenter.org/), as they have had to move to a new location due to a flood.
December 12th, 2010 at 8:41 pm
I would love this beutiful painting of one of my kitty babies, and sure the charity would also. thanks for the great giveaways. http://www.blindcatrescue.com
December 12th, 2010 at 8:45 pm
Awesome!
I think a place like Angelsgate Animal Hospice in Delhi NY would do best with this,as all their animals are there for the duration.

My fav charity right now is Connecticut Humane Society where I adopted Flip. I also love the Center for Animal Care and Control where Stinky was adopted from.
This giveaway is the best one yet!
December 12th, 2010 at 8:53 pm
I would love to display a gorgeous painting of my furry munchkins in my apartment. I would share the creativity with http://www.seattlehumane.org
December 12th, 2010 at 9:00 pm
Thank you for the opportunity for this give-away.
The charity I would pick would be the Greenbelt (MD) Animal Shelter.
December 12th, 2010 at 9:03 pm
Wow! Very Cool. I’d have to be careful not to let my bratty sister Patches know if I won this or she’d want the painting done of her instead of me.
If I won this I’d give the other one to SPCA Monteregie http://www.spcamonteregie.com/
They are one of only 2 no kill shelters in all of Quebec. I’m sure they could find a use for it.
December 12th, 2010 at 9:08 pm
my baby Oscar would make a fine painting! The VOKRA (Vancouver Orphaned Kitten Rescue Association) would be my choice charity.
December 12th, 2010 at 9:12 pm
I would really, really love to have one of these because my kitty baby, Moxie, is sick and might not be around too much longer. My friends at Happy Tales Humane in Franklin, TN would love one, too!
December 12th, 2010 at 9:13 pm
I always wanted a watercolor of my cats and I’m sure Happily Ever After- no kill shelter http://happilyeverafterinfo.org/gb_adoption_center/ would be able to put this to good use for the animals they help.
December 12th, 2010 at 9:29 pm
All three of my animals were adopted from the Fort Wayne Animal Care & Control (FWACC) in the past 10 years. They truly do everything they can to get the animals forever homes so I know they would totally appreciate a gift like this and would love to have one of their animals forever remembered in a portrait as nice as this (and I think any of my critters would look awesome as well). Thankyou!
December 12th, 2010 at 9:32 pm
i would love to help out forrest and jenny’s place in tulsa, oklahoma. they need everything they can get.
December 12th, 2010 at 9:33 pm
stunning!
December 12th, 2010 at 9:37 pm
I’d have a horrible time choosing which cat would get it, but it looks cool. 2nd one would go to Second Chance Pets http://secondchancepets.org
December 12th, 2010 at 9:39 pm
Gorgeous work! Here’s my link: http://www.homewardpet.org/
December 12th, 2010 at 10:18 pm
very nice. The second one will give to the Humane Society Montgomery County Maryland.
December 12th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
We’d have to draw names to decide which of our cats to immortalize. The second portrait I would donate to Jury-Duty Spay and Neuter – http://www.jury-duty.org/
December 12th, 2010 at 10:36 pm
I love that these giveaways all benefit charity! I would choose the Cat Clinic of Chattanooga. They would appreciate a portrait of my kitties to hang in their space! They have an awesome cat named Jesse who needs his portrait done. His legs don’t work but he’s such an energetic little kitty!
December 12th, 2010 at 10:37 pm
I think I would want to have a portrait done in memory of our cat Sepia. I would like to donate the other to Meow Cat Rescue in Kirkland, Wa.
December 12th, 2010 at 10:50 pm
Great portraits! Our Gator would make a handsome model, to be sure.
I would give the second portrait to the Urban Cat League in NYC. Amazing people who do amazing work. http://www.urbancatleague.org
December 12th, 2010 at 11:07 pm
A beautiful portrait of my handsome cat would be wonderful. Smokey Joe and I would love to donate a portrait to Robinson’s Resuce. http://robinsonsrescue.org/
December 12th, 2010 at 11:20 pm
i would get a painting of my cat who was lost by American Airlines during a change of flights a few months ago.
December 12th, 2010 at 11:20 pm
How wonderful!
It would be a hard choice between my three cats and the kitten, but I’d probably chose the grey mackeral tabby, Thistle. He has the most elegant and eloquent face- which would be useful for fund raising.
My charity of choice is our local AARF, where I adopted one of our lovely cats.
Cheers,
Constance, who says, “Pick me!”
December 12th, 2010 at 11:55 pm
I would give the second one to Tree House Humane Society in Chicago: http://treehouseanimals.org/
December 13th, 2010 at 12:01 am
How wonderful! the second to Kitty City,NM http://www.kittycitynm.com
December 13th, 2010 at 12:10 am
I would love a portrait of my special furbaby who I lost to cancer in 2008. Using the second one as a fundraiser is a great idea, our local humane society has a telethon every year as well as other fundraisers so I know this would be put to wonderful use.
