About four and a half years ago, I decided it was time to adopt a cat. My previous cat, Oscar, an ornery, feisty, opinionated, beloved orange tabby, had died after a long and happy life. My apartment felt so quiet and empty after he was gone. One day I went to the ASPCA to look for a new friend. I found him in a lanky black and white overgrown kitten with a big black spot on his left shoulder, a half-white, half-black face and a purr as loud as a bumblebee. This is the story of how we met. I wrote, illustrated and printed this little book for a silkscreen class.
p.s. Little Roo is the name of Kanga’s baby in Winnie the Pooh.

June is Adopt-A-Cat month. Here are the five top reasons to adopt from a shelter instead of heading to your pet store. And here’s how to find your local ASPCA.
This is adorable, fantastic, and wonderful!
Kind of like Roo himself! (thanks!)
Lovely!
Thanks for the compliment and thanks for stopping by!
Oh my goodness! Soooo cute and creative. I love it.
(And now I’m quite inspired to make one for my four-legged family members)
I do hope you make one, it’s an easy project and a nice keepsake.
So lovely!
Thanks, and thanks for stopping by!
I am trying to think of a word that is epic enough to explain just how super I think that is…I’m going to plump for amazing.
Little Roo certainly is a handsome fellow!
Thank you so much! Little Roo is a total sweetheart, the most affectionate cat I’ve ever met. He’d be happiest if I would just carry him around all day.
