This painting of Felix and Whiz Kid is featured in our calendar for the month of May, highlighting their incredible bond and the deep friendship they share. Felix and Whiz Kid arrived at Oscar’s Place in January 2021 during our first large-scale rescue. Both were gravely ill with respiratory disease and had to be rushed to UC Davis Veterinary Hospital. Their recovery was uncertain, but through it all, they had each other.
From the chaotic rescue to the hospital stay, Felix and Whiz Kid never left one another’s side. That bond never faded. Four years later, they are still inseparable. They play together, eat together, and sleep side by side, living proof of what love, care, and friendship can do.
Melisa spent time with them, getting to know their personalities and story before capturing their essence in this breathtaking original piece. The warmth in their eyes, the closeness in their stance, it’s all there. This is not just artwork. It’s a story told in brushstrokes.
This piece is perfect for animal lovers, collectors of meaningful art, or anyone who believes in second chances. Only one is available. When it’s gone, it’s gone.
