Victims of the UK homelessness epidemic often have scant support, except for, in a growing number of cases, the companionship of their pets.

Many have had their pets since before losing their homes, which makes their bond even more profound, such that their pet's well-being is a life-shaping priority. 

StreetVet's volunteer vets and vet nurses provide accessible fundamental veterinary care. They vaccinate, microchip, treat for fleas and worms, prescribe pain relief, help fight infections, perform surgeries and sometimes just sit and listen.

Acclaimed Pet Portrait Artist, Hercule Van Wolfwinkle, is selling wonderful portraits of your fur babies for a donation to StreetVet. 

Hercule has two styles of portrait, one super realistic full colour which is just like looking at a photograph or alternatively the more contemporary black and white portrait that will grace any home.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 🤔

WANT A PORTRAIT? 🖼
💰THINKING OF DONATING? 💰
🚨 HAVE A READ OF THIS 🚨

1. HOW MUCH ARE THE PORTRAITS?

The pictures are free. All I ask for is a donation to the charity.
The donation can be whatever you are comfortable with and please do not donate more than you can easily afford.

2. WHEN DO I MAKE MY DONATION?
You can donate whenever you like but please do not donate with the expectation of receiving a portrait. Unless you are happy to make a donation regardless of whether or not you get a picture, please do not donate until I have finished your portrait.

3. HOW DO I DONATE?
You can donate via this Just Giving page.

4. HOW DO I REQUEST A PORTRAIT?
Just send me a message on facebook with a picture. Easy as that!

5. HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET MY PORTRAIT?
Short answer, I don’t know.
I can’t even be sure you will ever get a portrait and for that I am genuinely sorry. I am working all the spare time I have to get as many done as possible, but the requests are coming in at a rate I just can’t even begin to keep up with - it’s turned into a bit of a lottery I’m afraid.

6. DO YOU POST ORIGINALS?
I’m afraid not. All pictures are just posted to my social media pages. 

7. WHAT IS VAT?
Voles and Tarantulas. I’m afraid of voles and I can’t draw spiders legs.
Oh, it is also a UK tax which is applied to the sale of goods.
