You still have time to bid on original artwork in an on-line auction, “Art for Cats.” Proceeds for the e-Bay auction go to Anjellicle Cats Rescue in New York City. Anjellicle Cats Rescue is a non-profit no kill cat shelter.

Original artwork pieces were created and donated by 40 great artists and cartoonists including:

-Juliette Borda, who has had her illustrations appear in books and publications, including, “The Girl’s Guide to Absolutely Everything,” The New Yorker, and The New York Times.

-Mark Ulricksen, an award-winning artist and illustrator whose work has appeared in Vibe, The New York Times, GQ, The New Yorker, Entertainment Weekly, and Rolling Stone.

-George Booth, who is a cartoonist for The New Yorker. He has also had work appear in The New York Times. In addition, he illustrates children’s books, such as, “Wacky Wednesday,” by Dr. Seuss.

-Danny Shanahan, who is a cartoonist for The New Yorker. Additionally, The Village Voice has recently named him the most amusing cartoonist from The New Yorker.

-Roz Chast, who has been a cartoonist for The New Yorker since 1978.

The Anjellicle Cats Rescue plans to utilize the first $2,500 raised in the auction to build a room for two kittens who have feline leukemia, as cats who have this condition must be kept separate from other cats.

Starting bids for most artwork pieces is set at $100. The e-Bay auction runs through February 26, 2009.
