"I Heart U" Original Watercolor by catcalls


"I ♥ U" ...it's nice to know you're loved - whether you're a cat or a person! This is an original watercolor by catcalls which I painted because I was thinking about how fun it would be for a kitty to wake up one morning and see a little love note like this!

I am the team's twitter account holder, @Etsy4Animals, and tweet shop listings and blog articles posted in the forums. I also write articles occasionally. I am thrilled that
The Feral Cat Rescue Project was chosen for this month's charity, as I have followed Chriss and her work for a couple of years now and know how much she has sacrificed for the little fur friends she cares for.

Cat Pumpkin Handbag by catcalls


September on the farm is a harvest month which includes pumpkins! And of course no farm is complete without a cat patrolling about. This handbag by catcalls combines the two into a catkin purse. It is made with fall colored cotton fabric, quilted to a layer of fleece on the inside. Face and legs are made with a black velveteen.

10% of this sale will go the
charity of the month, and I hope to have enough to send a little over to Chriss at the Feral Cat Rescue as well.

I am currently the official tweeter for the team and contribute to blogs.

Sea Purrtle Pillow by catcalls



I bet you didn't know there were such things as Sea PURRtles! Neither did I, but I had to invent one to fit the theme of Reptiles in a CAT shop! This pillow by catcalls is made from recycled pillow liners. I hand painted the design onto wet fabric to give the watery look then quilted it onto two more layers of pillow liners, adding more details. The back is an envelope style made with an out of print fabric called "Meow". I thoroughly enjoyed this as it is something new for me, and I was pleased with the outcome!

I am the "Tweeter" for EFA as well as a blog contributor. I also support cat rescue, especially concentrating on The Feral Cat Rescue in Oregon.

Plush Mermew by catcalls


MerMew is a cat's perspective on the wonders of the fantastical things of the sea! A mermew, however, is not much of a guardian. She is a lover of fish - that is to EAT! MerMew is an original drawing made into the pillow from cotton fabrics and felt by catcalls.

I am mainly involved in helping animals through donations (although I do have 5 guinea pigs, 4 of which are rescues). I try to accommodate all requests for rescue fundraisers by donating from my shops. I do tweet as the holder of the @Etsy4Animals twitter account. I am also a big fan of the Feral Cat Rescue in Oregon sustained by one devoted woman. This is where my donations will go for the month of July.

Kitty Cat Placemats and Napkins by catcalls


What's cuter than kitties and flowers?! As I looked at my stash, I spied this lovely bright pink floral fabric and instantly saw spring kitty placemats. Both flora and fauna in one cheerful set from catcalls! The mats are reversible with matching appliqued napkins.

I am currently focusing on donating items to fundraisers for various animal groups. I have chosen The Feral Cat Rescue Project as my charity for the month and hope to have lots of sales!

Pink Cat in the Rain Wall Hanging by catcalls


This pink kitty by catcalls is stuck out in the rain and is pleading for shelter. It has taken on a very fresh meaning with the recent earthquake in Japan. So many kitties have found themselves thrown out into the cold searching for food, warmth, and shelter.

This original acrylic painting is done on a pine heart and coated with two layers of sealant. $2.00 of this sale will go to the this month's charity.

I have several items marked for the EFA charity of the month in my shop and hope this will be the month they sell!

I donate items often to shelters, including my own Rescue Village. I also adopted another guinea pig from them on March 15th, Adopt the Internet Day, and now have four! The Feral Kitten Rescue in Oregon, run by Chriss Pagani, is near and dear to my heart. I donate what I can to help.

Lilac Scented Cat Pillow by catcalls

This little pink and gray pillow by catcalls is filled with a lovely lilac scented sachet to help bring the fragrance of spring into your home. It can be used in a closet, thrown into a drawer, or tucked into the corner of a favorite chair. The cats are hand drawn with an original design.

I am a supporter of my local shelter, Rescue Village, and donate whenever possible to their fundraisers. I also support the Feral Kitten Rescue Project by sending cat toys and donations when ever possible. Recently, I am the very proud new owner of a 3 month old guinea pig that I 'accidentally' found while writing about Petfinder's Adopt the Internet Day for my blog. $2.00 of the sale from this pillow (and the sale of the other pillow) will go the current month's charity.

Cat Tote/ Handpainted by Catcalls' Shop


This original design art tote was created entirely from recycled materials. The denim was painted with acrylic, the cat was cut from heavy cotton then painted, stitched and appliqued on as were the letters. The inside and handles are made from purple and lime flannel. Two pockets were sewn to the interior. It is finished with a clear acrylic spray. This is a very sturdy and durable tote.
