Ram Cat Alley “sCATenger Hunt”
Be on the lookout for Seneca’s Ram Cat Alley Cats scattered around the city! Each steel cat was laser cut by Hamilton Career Center Welding Students, then hand painted by local artists and set loose to prowl. You’ll find them tucked into alleys and curled up on porch steps. Can you find them all?

Special thanks to Scott Hightower (Welding Instructor) and the students at Hamilton Career Center who laser cut each steel cat. Original cat sponsors included: Ann Cramer, The City of Seneca, CatBus, The Investment Center and Lighthouse Restaurant.
“Seneca Cats on the Alley” Story Book
“Seneca Cats on the Alley” was written by Jane Fulton and illustrated by Donna Juras.
Donna re-envisioned each of the 12 steel painted cats in 12 different mediums, including charcoal, pen & ink, watercolor, acrylic, colored pencil, and pastel. Each cat was drawn into an environment that Jane brought to life through short stories and poems.
Original artwork from the book is on view and available for purchase at Blue Ridge Arts Center in Seneca.
“This book is dedicated to the children of Seneca whose curiosity, much like that of cats, will lead them to learn more about their town and its history. Hopefully, it will also motivate them to try some, if not all of the art mediums used to bring the cats to life.”
Books are available for purchase for $15 at Blue Ridge Arts Center and First Chapter Bookshop on Ram Cat Alley.
Many thanks to the City of Seneca and HAT Funds that assisted in the original printing of this book. Additional printing has been funded by Oconee Humane Pet Care Clinic, Print It!, Laura Scott Realtor (Real Local), and First Chapter Bookshop.
