New Kitty on the Block

Those of you who follow me on instagram etc already know, buttt... I fell in the love with one of the kitties at the shelter I work at! She has kind of a deformed face and would therefore be hard to place in a new home (people tend to prefer kitties with hairy smooth chins) soooo I decided to adopt her! Meet my new catfriend, Emma (fka Bemmel)! We picked her up from the shelter about two weeks ago and she is doing really great, it's like she's always been here. Brian is his usual lullo self though so he keeps picking fights with her (mostly because she likes to cuddle up with me in my bed and that's his territory) but the other cats couldn't care less. Which was pretty unexpected, considering she's pretty old and silly, but I guess they just don't feel threatened by her at all haha. She really is the sweetest thing, she sleeps on top of my bookcase all day and drools when she's hungy, she loves to run around outside and chase the chickens, she makes the silliest noises when she eats and oh boy am I smitten with that little bald chin. It's not really clear what caused the latter though, it probably has something to do with her allergies and lots of piled up scar tissue, but it doesn't bother her so it doesn't bother me! :) I'm just really happy to have her and I can't wait to really get to know her. And most of all I hope she'll live a long and happy rest of her life here ♥ ♥ ♥

He will bite your chin though

As I just was procastinating from more important stuff, I found out how to make super easy .gifs in photoshop! I'm so excited!!! I've been wanting to make these since forever! (I know I could have just googled a tutorial or something but I hate tutorials. HATE.) Anyway, I made this .gif of the apple of my shelter eye, grumpy kitty Bram, drinking from the tap as he usually does. Isn't he the cutest? Oooohh how I wish I could take him home with me! Speaking of which, we may be adopting another kitty from my shelter, a lovely little handicapped dude named Frosty. If everything goes as planned that is. Fingers crossed!

Must Love Cats

As you probably know by now; I do volunteer work at the local animal shelter. Every sunday I get up early to clean litter boxes and feed and pet the lovely less fortunate kitties. It's so much fun, I really recommend it to anyone and I'm even thinking of adding another shift to my weekly schedule, thát's how much fun it is! It gets hard sometimes though, being a cat lover amongst all of those sweet sad kitties, mostly because I want to take all of them home. I can't though, not with weirdo Brian. So I decided I would just draw my favorite shelter kitties to commemorate them. Here's the first six; Doppie, Noppes, Poeke, Siempie, Milla and Bram.
I'm glad to say Noppes and Siempie both have happy new homes but the other ones have been in the shelter for months and months. Bram is my favorite of the bunch, Bram and I fell in love instantly. He's such a silly goose ♥ (maybe a bit too silly though, I'm pretty sure he and Brian would take each other down if I'd take him home, which is the only reason he's still in the shelter).
Anyway, I did these little illustrations and I made them into buttons and stickers, available here. I will make a 50% of the profit donation to my shelter every 20 or so sales! Now that's a win-win situation if I ever saw one!











The buttons are 1 inch/25 mm, available on white or pastel rainbow and the stickers are about 5 inch/12 cm and printed on glossy sticker paper. No paypal or another reason you can't purchase through etsy? You could always send me an email at anne@ponypeople.nl!
