I am giving away a custom pet painting by Jude Abbe, Jen's Mom. (Jen is fostering Luna for DCIN. Just a reminder that perky, pretty Luna needs her own home and heart.)
Jude will custom create a 20" by 20" oil painting of your pet--dog, cat, horse--from a photograph you supply. It will be on a stretched canvas, ready for framing. Jude usually sells paintings like these for $700. DCIN will ship the finished painting to you.
This is a painting that Jude made of Jen's cat Bugsie. It is so true to life, and so expressive of Bugsie's soul, don't you think? What a wonderful piece for Jen to have to always remind her of her dear Bugsie.

More examples of Jude Abbe's work are on her website here.
This IS NOT a raffle or lottery. You need not give a single cent to DCIN to enter the give-away for Jude Abbe's custom painting of your pet. However, DCIN is hoping that you will donate to its general fund in conjunction with this give-away. We suggest that DCIN's friends contribute to support one diabetic cat for $10, two diabetic cats for $20, or three diabetic cats for $25.
You can donate for as many cats as you want. (That's my way of saying you should donate a lot.)
If you want to enter this give-away without donating for any cats, you can do so by sending my Mom an email with your name. The address is Venita@dcin.info. Just put "Painting Give-away" in the subject line. Do that, and she will enter you in this painting give-away.
Below is a PayPal button to donate for one to three cats and to simultaneously give my Mom contact info about you for this painting give-away. You also can write Mom at her email address and she will give you an address for a check or money order to donate for the cats.
If you happen to send Mom a note through PayPal, please do not use the words lottery or raffle. Using those words is simply going to annoy PayPal. This give-away is neither. This give-away is our way of attracting interest in the work of DCIN and donations for that work. If you have questions, email Mom at Venita@dcin.info. Tell her I sent you.
I will be picking the person who receives this custom painting using a random number generator. Strictly on the up-and-up. So even my Mom can enter.
History note: This started out as a raffle in which we offered chances for $10 each, with three for $25. However, having a raffle violated PayPal's terms of use and risked DCIN's PayPal account. Therefore, we have changed this to be a give-away. However, we ask that those entering for the painting make a donation for one or more DCIN cats. We need the funds. Thank you very much.
