We received this lovely review of the studio from Heather Starr Fiedler when she visited the studio with her family. Thanks Heather!

“Little House Big Art is a tiny little charming spot to create art.  While small, it has a huge variety of things to make.  Unlike paint-your-own-pottery places which only offer pottery, Little House Big Art offers a variety of art projects to bring out your inner VanGogh. ”   Read it here!

it’s hard to believe it’s been two weeks since these kittens ended up with me. except that they have grown SO MUCH! and they’re doing so much stuff! they have had a few moments of sensitive stomachs, and adjusting, but they are all doing wonderfully. They’re gaining weight, and are sweet and playful. they love to be held, and will purr almost instantly on contact.

We’re in the midst of the transition from bottle feeding to soft cat foods.I started litter box training with them and they are really rather impressive at it. no doubt, 9 of anything is a handful. we are a little less than graceful at feeding time. their current method is to lay on a plate of wet cat food and just eat until they hit the plate, and are covered from head to tail. each meal, therefore, includes a significant amount of post-food clean up.

i had originally made them a play area by taping together a few large boxes, but they quickly outgrew that and now have complete run of the studio for the better part of the day. they do a lot more wrestling now, and leap from place to place. they have started plotting small (adorable) attacks on one another by hiding behind or under something and then racing out to pounce as another walks by.

i am extremely attached to them (i’d imagine that’s a given) but still, of course, need to find homes for all of them. So far three of them are spoken for, which leaves 6 to go. if you’re considering adding more cuteness to your life, stop by and meet them. they rock. you’ll want to take one home!

I’ll post specifics on the 6 that are still available if i can get them to hold still long enough for a photo.

everyone is happy and frisky.

Today at the studio we had lots of visitors of all ages for cuddling and feeding of kittens. I also built them a cardboard playplace, since they’re really playing around a lot now. they love to wrestle. more pictures soon! thanks for keeping up

Seriously? Cuteness: overwhelming

We have matched our first kitten with it’s future owner! One of our darling black and white babies has been adopted by John P. and is now named L.C. , for Little Cat. It already seems to be a perfect match! we’re so happy. L.C. will stay with her kitten friends for a few more weeks, but now she has an awesome home to move on to!

8 more to go….

Interested in adopting a kitty? We require a safe and loving home for it to go to, and a promise to spay and neuter at the appropriate age. That can be arranged with one of many programs here in the city – we don’t want any of these guys making more kittens that end up orphaned

feel free to come by or call us to meet your future kitteh friend <3 You can also help us pay for food, vet care and kitten needs through the widget below. Thanks!

Fuzzy Babies!

There isn’t much time to write between feedings, but last week on Wednesday 9 kittens were found abandoned behind a local restaurant. After watching and searching all day no mamma cat could be found.

It’s Kitten Season and the shelters are full so as cute and sweet as they are, if we sent them to the shelters their chance for survival is surprisingly low. We are looking for permanent homes for all of them, and in the meantime, fostering them here at the art studio.

How can you help?

Come by the studio and hold them for a while, and help with a feeding. Post on your facebook or blog about them so we can help find them loving homes. You can also help us with the financial burden – which is significant.

They need initial vet care, and even with a “litter rate” the services come to $630 just to be seen and vaccinated. kitten milk replacement costs about $20 every 2-3 days. Other incidentals like cotton balls, ointment, laundry soap (we wash their bedding over and over to try to get rid of the fleas) adds up too.

Any help is greatly appreciated. <3 you can use the ChipIn box here or at the bottom of any page, and share it on your facebook. It will take you to paypal to make your payment, which will be to “insight design studio”, our parent company

thanks so much <3
