Baldwin and Carly

Patty, one of my best friends in Stratford, won the "name my portrait business" contest, and this is photo of the resulting portrait of Carly her Springer Spaniel, caught in a rare quiet moment! Baldwin - a gray and white fluff of a cat with brilliant green eyes - passed away last year and Karin, director of the Stratford Cat Project, still mourns her lost friend. Karin dedicates her life to rescuing abandoned cats and kittens. She founded a group that fosters cats, holds fundraisers to pay for their care, and organizes an army of volunteers throughout the area to work in a myriad of ways ensuring that each cat and kitten has a safe haven or is given the opportunity of finding their forever home.
