HERE Kitty! This Saturday night, Giant Robot 2 will open Free to a Good Home, a group art exhibit and sale to benefit Kitten Rescue, a Los Angeles organization that saves kittens and cats from the high-kill shelter system. Paintings, illustrations, photography, and other pieces will be inspired by - but not limited to - cats.

Kitten Rescue, founded in 1997, has rescued and placed more than 5,500 cats into loving homes. Each weekend, they have ten adoption events at locations throughout the Los Angeles area, where they provide educational information about kittens rescue and cat care. Their website also provides a wealth of information for adopting families, including Welcome Home Kitty, an online publication about taking care of your new pet.

Ten percent of sales from the GR2 show will go toward Kitten Rescue. For more information about the show, the artists, GR2, or Giant Robot magazine, please contact Eric Nakamura at Giant Robot: eric@giantrobot.com or (310) 479-7311.
