The rescue uses the finished artwork to promote animals that are looking for homes, so young artists help real pets get adopted. Registration is required and spaces are limited; each participant needs a waiver signed by a parent or caregiver age 18 or older, who must come along. The library's fair warning: kittens may climb on, chew near, or have accidents on participants. ## Similar picks in Columbus - [Holiday Crafts for Families at Westerville Public Library](https://grassyknees.com/columbus/activities/holiday-crafts-for-families-at-westerville-public-library--listing-e87a37e0fb16d703a07c0340) — Tue, Dec 1 · 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM · Westerville Public Library · Ages 8+ · Free · checked Oct 24.
