Meows and Minis A and B

Finally, my donation for Meows and Minis is done. This is Patty, a naughty silver dapple pony mare that just rolled in the flower bed, only to brag about it to her pal, Pixel! This is the Breyer mini Highland pony mold with a whole new neck, mane and tail with wild Primrose in her mane and tail. The are not attached to each other, and come with a leopard print and pink pony pouch!
Remember, this is a 100% donation to the no kill cat shelter that Meows and Minis supports. Bids will be taken through the Meows and Minis website, email Chris Wallbruch at wombats@earthlink.net

The off side of the pair, please donate to the show, either by bidding on one of the awesome auction lots or just donate, times are tough for all and the shelters are overrun with animals that can't help themselves.

How about "B"? Whats with the name??? Well this summer a feral mom cat showed up and had kittens in our woodpile. We couldn't get anywhere near her, and the kittens all disappeared except this little calico. She is also very tiny, and follow Payton all over outside just desperate for attention, so we brought her into our home. This was right after I got back from Idaho and kept saying "Eh" talking about all my great Canuck friends, so Payton liked it and named her "A". So its only natural that the next outcast was "B". What so cute, somehow Pixel knows that they are just like she was, and she helpts take care of them both. Everyone is doing great!

Here are the minis I am trying to get done for the show, thank goodness I have today off!

lastly I thought I would throw this out there. This is the Breyer new arab mold that I remade to a jumping sport pony. Since I am not planning on NAN this year, I am offering her up for a custom paint job order. I could redo the mane and tail as well, contact me for details if interested.

Back to work, will have more pictures of the minis as they get more done!

Meows and Minis, "B"

Hopefully everyone has gotten a chance to read about Pixel, my family's rescue kitty and the star of my donation medallion to Meows and Minis live show. But tonight, I have another heart wrencher story about abandoned felines. After school I got home and was getting stuff ready for the farrier to come out and trim some of the weanlings. My husband was helping me, and together we heard this crying from under the tractor...and look what was there! This darling, TINY girl kitten. A total sweetheart, starving but seems to be healthy, and purred the minute we picked her up. We are too isolated for something this little to make it so far, so she must be another abandoned pet someone didn't want any more. Can you believe it?????


Payton has named her "B"...look at that face!!! How can this happen? Times are tough and shelters are overrun, so please, please try to donate to shelters like the one Meows and Minis is support (check ads on www.modelhorsesalespages.com search Meows and Minis)
Here is one of the things I am donating, a portrait of Pixel. You can also bid on a blank medallion which I will paint to look like your favorite kitty!

The real Pixel and B, Pixel is so sweet, she accepts all little ones. This little kitty is so darling, playful, full of life..how can something like this just be abandoned??? She is even litter trained, just like Pixel was. Hopefully she is as healthy as she seems so far. We will watch her closely the next week.

What a face!!! And blue eyes to boot! Not sure if they will stay this blue but who cares????

My horse donation for the show will be done soon, its a mini with a friend....and flowers in the mane! Thats the only hint I will give so far! It will be a 100% donation to the show as well.

Thanks for reading!

Meows and Minis, the story of Pixel

I have a small farm in Northwest Illnois. We have a bit of everything, and a small herd of farm cats. Sadly over the years, with shelters filled all around, so many have been dropped off left to fend for themselves. Last June, my husband and I were outside and we heard a car stopped in front of our house. Thinking nothing of it since many people like to stop and look at the horses, we kept working. Then our cats were freaking out at something in the tree. There was this tiny, terrified kitten. We brought her in the house and she was starved, ate great and went straight to the litter box. So we figured this was someones pet that they decided they couldn't kept. She was so sweet! After a couple of hours I could tell she was actually quite sick. So I took her to the vet and after days of treatment she was doing great and quickly became the house favorite. We named her Pixel because of her unique coloration being all little spots of color. She has grown into the sweetest, most loving pet.



I am sharing this story because I was given the special opportunity to help support the upcoming Meows and Minis show, which is a benefit for a local no kill shelter. Pixel so easily could have ended up fox or coyote food, hit by a car, or die of starvation and illness. We love her in our family, but too often stories like her's do NOT have happy endings. This medallion will be up for auction on the Meows and Minis website, along with another donation I am doing, so please, please donate to worthy cause.

Pixel is not a long hair, but she does have the most shiney, soft fur. I will take more pictures of this medallion in the sun so you can see all the details in her fur and eyes

Thank you again for your support!
