Calling all artists! Help us celebrate cats while supporting St. Pete’s community felines.

WE WANT YOUR CAT ART!

Caterwalls is more than just an art exhibition; it’s a purr-pose driven event benefiting Friends of Strays (FOS), St. Pete’s oldest no-kll animal shelter. A portion of the proceeds of art sales from this exhibition support FOS’s vital community cat programs, including their donation-based Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) services for managed colonies throughout our city. Every work of art sold from this exhibition will help provide medical care, food and humane population management for the neighborhood cats who call St. Pete home.

Proceeds from the sale of artwork is as follows: 40% to the artist/ 40% to the Morean/ 20% to FOS (artists may elect to donate their 40% of the sale to FOS as an additional donation; see entry form below).
