Now what everyone's been waiting to see . . . check out the great selections pictured below that you'll have to choose from to paint at the R-CATS Program's 2026 Painting Event fundraiser hosted by Periwinkle Pig which will be held on Sunday, June 14th, from 1 to 3 PM at the Rome Art and Community Center.

There will be 4 options at this event, which will include bonus pieces if you make a reservation before the event. Both flower options as well as the dragonfly option pictured below will come your choice of two small flowers or a small flower and butterfly while the cat option includes both cats pictured below but only if you make a reservation in advance.

I know it's a hard choice but don't wait to make your reservation to join the R-CATS Program and Rebecca from Periwinkle Pig so you can get in on the bonus pieces and make sure you'll get your first choice of an item to paint at the event.

Reservations can be made by email ([email protected]) or by calling (315-337-3890). Be sure to provide your name, phone number and choice of item to paint when making your reservation as we look forward to a great time while supporting the life-saving work of the R-CATS Program.

As indicated below, the $30 to attend this event is payable at the door by cash or check.

Thank you!

Thank you so much to all of the wonderful people who came out yesterday to support the R-CATS Program in our efforts to raise money so we can resume the Spay/Neuter Funding Program this year. After yesterday's event, we are close to reaching our goal of raising $3,000 and are hopeful to be able to start offering spay/neuter slots for feral cats in Rome after our next event in June - another Painting Event hosted by Periwinkle Pig on Sunday, June 14th. Check back soon for more information about this always popular fundraiser.

We would also like to express our sincere appreciation to Lisa and all the wonderful people at DiCastro's Brick Oven, without whom this successful event would not have been possible! The venue was great and the pizza was awesome!

And I personally want to thank the dedicated volunteers who keep the Program going - Gloria, Donna, Dawn and Kathy - for another successful event as well as Hannaford for the generous donation of water for the fundraiser.

See you next month for another exciting (and fun) Painting Event for the R-CATS Program.
