Louis Wain Fact #14:
Wain was quite a charitable person. He was involved in many animal charities, including the Anti-Vivisection Society and the Society for the Protection of Cats. He also frequently illustrated and published heartwarming advertisements in his annuals free of charge for Dr. Barnado’s Homes for children.

OLD CAT: "Ah, my lad, don't you wish you could invent some-thing half as useful?"
