We are currently seeking artists to participate in the Tails of the Painted Cats project for 2019. This is the signature fund-raiser for Cat Care Society, a cage-less shelter for stray, homeless and abandoned cats in the Denver metro area.
The project involves local artists painting whimsical fiberglass cat forms (supplied by Cat Care Society) to be auctioned off in September 2019.
Entries are juried and 30 artists will be selected. Artists have a minimum of 3 months to complete the work. Each artist receives a stipend for supplies as well as a ticket to the dinner. The cats are shown in a summer gallery tour prior to auction.
To receive an application packet in late May, please respond to this ad with your name, mailing address and email. Thank you.

Mission Statement
To be a safe and enriching place for all cats on their journey to a loving home. We do this by providing compassionate care, shelter, adoption services and community engagement.
Description
Cat Care Society is a private, non-profit cat shelter founded in 1981 that was established in order to improve the quality of life for cats in need in the Denver metro area. Our unique and free-roaming approach views all cats as worthy, regardless of their age or abilities.
We are non-discriminatory in our love for cats and take in cats that may not have a chance anywhere else. This includes cats that have tested positive for FIV or FeLV, or have been diagnosed with chronic health conditions such as diabetes or kidney disease. We also pride ourselves in finding these cats loving homes and educating cat owners on the care requirements for cats with special needs.
As a limited-admission shelter, we only accept new cats as quickly as our current cats can find homes, and only if we have the space and resources to properly care for them. We provide a temporary refuge for cats in need until an appropriate and permanent home can be found for each. Veterinary care, premium diet, and human interaction are lovingly provided by dedicated staff and volunteers. Approximately 800 cats come into our care each year!
As we receive no government funding, Cat Care Society is supported by a number of loyal volunteers, donors, and partners, without whom we could not operate. Our staff and board of directors work together to ensure that every cat receives an enriching environment and the opportunity to find a home where they can flourish.
