Sookie - the Maine Coon cat

This is Sookie, the latest addition to our family! After the tragic death of our calico cat Abbey (also a rescue cat), my husband and I decided to adopt again. Sookie is 6 years old, and was in desperate need of a loving home. She had been rescued from a house containing over 60 other cats, all in poor health. Sookie was one of the last remaining cats needing a home. Just like her namesake, Sookie is the most affectionate and motherly cat I have ever known. She has settled in beautifully with us, and has even taken to grooming and playing with my 6 month old daughter. This portrait is in charcoal.
