ART AT THE SHOW

See Cats. And More Cats.

The exhibition features more than 120 works by local artists in a wide variety of media, including two sculptures by Nancy Schön, the artist behind Boston’s beloved Make Way for Ducklings. In her pieces Sharing and Cornucopia, cats are among the animal figures.

Works were selected by a panel of four judges including gallery owner Mitch Plotkin, veterinarian Rebecca Fellman, DVM, and MSPCA’s Mike Keiley. Artists keep 100% of their sales, and visitors are invited to make a donation to MSPCA-Angell.

WHO WE ARE

15 years of Catvocates

Catvocates is a group of volunteer leaders dedicated to funding cat initiatives at MSPCA-Angell. Formed in 2011 to support cat adoption promotions and spay/neuter programs, the group has since expanded its focus to include critical feline medical care.

In 2025, Catvocates launched The Winston Fund, which helps pet owners afford lifesaving veterinary treatment for their beloved cats. This exhibition raises awareness and support for that mission — because a cat shouldn't lose their home, or their life, over a medical bill.

WINSTON FUND STORY

We Change Cats' Lives

Through the Winston Fund, which helps pet owners afford lifesaving vet treatment for their cats, the Catvocates are helping many cats and their families today.

Tybalt is an 8-year-old emotional support cat whose family brought him to Angell West because of concerns about a urinary obstruction. Previously, his family had been able to keep his urinary tract symptoms under control with anti-anxiety medication and a special diet. However, his symptoms had been steadily worsening following the recent loss of the family dog, who had been Tybalt's housemate and companion.

Through the support of the Catvocates, the team at Angell West was able to provide Tybalt with the care he needed and help him return home to his family.
