Portrait of Nancy's Tabby Cat

Portrait of Nancy's Widget

Watercolor on Cold Press Paper

My husband and I had five cats at one point, so I can't tease our friend Nancy for having three. Nancy's orange tabby happens to be named Widget, the same as our orange tabby! Nancy's Widget has a lovely long tail though, which our Widget, being a Manx, lacked.

Nancy adopted Widget a few years ago from Sarge's Animal Rescue Foundation. Sarge's is named after a healthy young purebred German Shepherd who was euthanized a mere hour before rescue transport could remove him from animal control. The foundation works in conjunction with the Haywood County Animal Shelter in North Carolina to save as many adoptable pets as possible. You can view the county's adoptable pets at http://sargeandfriends.org/shelterpets.html and the pets adoptable through Sarge's at http://sargeandfriends.org/featuredpets.html
