One Lucky Cat

In the early morning hours of April 7, 2007, the Jacksonville Humane Society suffered a stunning loss, soon witnessed by a disbelieving news audience across the nation. A fire that started in the laundry area engulfed the animal shelter leaving it in ruin, and claiming the lives of 67 cats or kittens and 18 dogs or puppies.

"When I saw the news images of that shelter in flames, my heart just broke - for the animals and for the volunteers and staff who give so much of themselves," says Burns. "I feel honored to be able to use my artwork to help rebuild this special place for the dogs and cats of Jacksonville."

Lucky the cat is a survivor of the fire, and in order to raise funds to rebuild the shelter, Ron painted this kitten.  A portion from the sale of every “One Lucky Cat” limited edition will go towards the shelter.  Please see below for more details on how to purchase this piece.
