My cat’s name is Beezley and he/she would love to be featured in a custom Artpurr portrait because he’s my very special friend and he’s the most gentle, patient, silly and relaxed cat I’ve ever met. He has been by my side for 8 years through thick and thin. He was a rescue cat, prior to me choosing him he had been rescued before by someone that wanted him to be a mouser in garden but he was so silly and lazy he just ate snacks and slept in the shed all day so the person took him back to the shelter! That story made me laugh so much I just knew he had to be perfect for me, and he is 🙂

Hi!
My cat’s name is Kayla and she would absolutely love to be featured in a custom Artpurr portrait for many different reasons. She actually wrote down the reasons for me, so I wouldn’t mess it up (as she puts it).
•I’m 13 yrs old and still look beautiful (everyone tells me).
•My first Mom, a retired Nun passed away and her caretakers were not very nice to me. I was at my vets office hoping to be adopted for a few months- it almost started to get to my self-esteem! Don’t worry it didn’t!
•Not long after I found my now mom, I nearly died a couple of times! She knew something was not right and made sure I was taken care of.
•Ok- so I know I’m pretty and all and yes I want the custom portrait but seriously I know it’ll put my mom over the moon.
It’s just the two of us. She’s always oohing & aaahing over all of Artpurrr’s posts.
All of my fingers, toes, claws & paws are crossed in hopes of actually winning this.
Thank you.
My cat’s name is Nikki Roo and he would love to be featured in a custom Artpurr portrait because his dedicated kitty hang out space is only missing one thing: a vanity portrait hanging above the mantle of his fireplace (actually his cat tubes). He needs to be able to show off his good looks at all times, even when he’s not home, and the talent used to curate these art peices is the only talent capable of capturing the essence of his fluff. How else will hoomans across the land come to recognize him as the most beautiful of them all?
