Jade..a Special Girl



This is for a Special Lady.....Julie Stanton Welch.

First I would like for you to met Jade.

Jade had a diagnostic a couple of months ago with HCM.


Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a condition characterised by the inward thickening of the heart muscle, resulting in a reduction of chamber volume, thereby reducing the volume of blood that the heart can pump with each contraction.


This sadly....makes the cats at risk of developing congestive heart failure and sudden death.


Julie is an activist in supporting and gathering funds for FIP & HCM, at TICA & CFA shows.

Julie has lost Mariah and King at only a few months old to FIP.


FIP is Feline infectious peritonitis and it is a fatal incurable disease that affects cats.


When I saw a photo of Jade.....I just had to paint her.

I asked Julie for the permission to use Jade as a model for a painting.

The rest is history. :))


I am giving this painting to Julie.in support of all she does to fund the WINN Foundation to help find a cure to FIP.


Julie sells magnets and other beautiful things for the funding.


You can go here to help support FIP.


And here on Julie's facebook album


Thank you Julie for all your hard work !
