Calendar time!

The new RAPS Cat Sanctuary Calendar for 2016 is out - and it's beautiful!  First copies will be seen at the Halloween Gala, and it will be available at all three RAPS locations - the 5 Rd Shelter, the 6 Rd Sanctuary and the Thrift Store.

In order to see the photos that were selected, you'll need to get a copy (or more than one - they make great Christmas gifts!), but today's blog offers some of the pictures that didn't make it - always a very hard decision, but we try to select a good cross-section of cats, and preferably cats that haven't been featured in the calendar before

As always, thanks to Michele for the wonderful pictures!
 
Now - go and buy the calendar and enjoy the pictures that were eventually chosen.

  1. As usual the calendar did not disappoint. Everyone must get a copy (or more!!!). There were three major standouts for me but the picture of sweet wonderful Sophie cannot be missed. Just beautiful.

    1. Thanks, Katie. Yes, Sophie's picture is beautiful - but Michele is a genius at seeing the souls of our beautiful cats through their eyes!

    The pic of Casper is downright regal. Tough to choose a favourite though.
