Laughing Cat Studio

So you want to know why...

The Laughing Cat designs, that include cats, dogs and birds so far, are an outward expression of both a passion for animals & animal rescue and my own personality. I try to imbue each design with a sense of whimsy or humor and capture what I believe to be the personality of each animal in the design.

I am an animal rescuer. If I were a superhero, my personal Kryptonite would be cute furry animals. For as far back as I can recall, there has always been an animal – usually a dog in my life. My “career” as a rescuer came later in life and started innocently enough when I adopted a puppy that a friend couldn’t find a home for. From there it was a series of homeless dogs and cats…rescued from the streets, from neighborhood kids…I can’t remember the last time I intentionally sought out a new dog or cat. They seem to find me.

I struggle sometimes – as caring for so many is not without its challenges, but at the end of the day, it is worth it. They make me smile, and laugh. They offer unconditional love and provide purpose. I believe God calls us to be good stewards of all He has given us, and I believe this includes all of His creatures. Great and small. Come Judgment Day I am sure I shall be found wanting in so many ways…I hope it is not for failing to render aid to those weaker, smaller or in need.
