The artist received a bunch of photos of felines and made a few drawings. Then, when the perfect drawing was chosen, it got transformed into a mural created with the help of fellow street artists. The cat whose image was painted is Larry. He survived a car accident, fought for his life, and now he waits for his forever home.
