Draw A Pet Portrait Assignment:
A pet portrait is a picture, painting, or drawing of a pet! A pet portrait shows what the animal looks like and often their interests or personality.
1. Pick one of the cats below. Take a really good look at the cat and read their story.
2. Draw a picture of the cat. Make sure you pay attention to any markings they may have. What can you put in the picture with them? Can you take parts of their story and put them in the artwork? Add color with paint, crayons, colored pencils, or markers and remember to fill all the space!

This is a pet portrait that I did of a cat named Meeko that lives in South Carolina. He loves to snuggle up on warm blankets!
3. Share your art! PAWS would love to share your artwork with their volunteers and fans! Email a good quality photo of your artwork to pawsctshelter@gmail.com and be sure to include the name of the cat and the artist! You can also drop the artwork off at the shelter on Saturday from 11:30-1:30 (maybe bring a donation with you)! Your art might make someone want to take one of these kitties home!
Here are a few of the cats at PAWS:
Ollie: Ollie is about 1 yr old. He came to the shelter when his owner could no longer keep him. Ollie has a lot of energy and likes to run and play
Ollie
Libby: Libby is 8 years old and is very sweet. She loves chin rubs. Libby came to the shelter pregnant and was a very good mom.

KittyKitty: KittyKitty is about 4 years old and came to PAWS with his brother, Bogey, when his owner moved to Florida and left them in the house. PAWS went in to the house and rescued the two cats (Bogey was too scared to have his picture taken). KittyKitty is really scared and needs a home where he and his brother can chill out
KittyKitty
Amelia: Amelia is 3 1/2 years old. She came to the shelter in 2016 and then was in foster for 2 years until she had to come back. Amelia is diabetic and needs her insulin and blood sugar monitored every day. Even through all of this, she is a very sweet cat and loves to be petted

Gato: Gato came to PAWS a month ago. He is very scared boy. He was abandoned at a farm in Woodstock. PAWS was able to get him to their shelter, but he is very scared. Volunteers are working to get him to trust people again. Gato is looking for a home with someone kind and patient who understands what he is going through.

Lance and Lynxa: Lance and Lynxa are a bonded pair (which means that they have to stay together) and almost a year old. They came to the shelter as kittens when they were abandoned in someones yard. They are very shy but love to play and lay in their hammocks. Lance and Lynxa need to find a home where they can stay together.
