Tails of the Painted Cats

Tails of the Painted Cats (TOPC) is one of Cat Care Society’s largest fundraisers of the year. This upscale biennial event features a gala dinner and auction for attendees to sip cocktails, browse and bid on cat-themed art, listen to soothing piano music, participate in fun games, treat themselves to a seated dinner and dessert, and mingle with other cat lovers and volunteers, all while supporting Colorado’s artist community and raising money for Cat Care Society to continue its mission.

For each event, numerous artists donate their time and talents to creating beautiful, hand-crafted sculptures and paintings. The “painted cats” are the stars of the show, but don’t worry, we don’t paint live cats! The event’s painted cats are large fiberglass cat-shaped creations, and you can also find “flat cat” paintings and pottery available for sale, too.

Community members can cast their vote at the gallery showings or online for their favorite painted cat. One select artist and creation will be named People’s Choice!
