Description:

This set of three collectible telecards, issued by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in 1995, features beloved animal characters serving as “Spokespets” to promote animal welfare. Each $6 telecard showcases charming cartoon depictions of dogs and cats, set against vibrant, solid color backgrounds that make the characters stand out. The front of each card prominently displays the ASPCA’s full name and logo, along with the issuance date of June 3, 1995, and a limited edition number out of 2,000, emphasizing their collectible value. These telecards functioned not only as calling cards but also as fundraising tools for the ASPCA, blending popular culture with charitable efforts.

The first telecard in the set has a bright yellow background and features a confident, brown cat with a fluffy tail and a red collar adorned with a gold paw tag. This feline exudes a spirited personality, reminiscent of classic cartoon cats known for their mischievous yet endearing traits. Its stance and expression suggest pride and a touch of sassiness, making it an engaging spokesperson for animal protection. The bottom of the card is numbered 0244/2000, highlighting its limited edition status. Above the character, red text clearly states it is a $6 telecard issued by the ASPCA, with the ACMI trademark also present.

The second telecard stands out with a deep blue background and depicts two characters—a cheerful, large dog wearing a red bandanna and a friendly cat nestled comfortably beside it. The dog’s wide grin and the cat’s content expression symbolize the bond and companionship between dogs and cats, reinforcing the ASPCA’s mission to protect all animals. Numbered 0872/2000, this card pairs the canine and feline “Spokespets,” using their warmth and trust to communicate messages of kindness and care for animals. Bold red lettering again highlights the $6 value and ASPCA branding, creating visual consistency across the set.

The final telecard features a striking red background with an animated brown dog, accented with white markings and an expressive face. Wearing a red bandanna, the dog appears to be barking or joyfully exclaiming, capturing a playful and energetic spirit often associated with animated canine characters. The whimsical detail of the dog's collar, including a golden tag shaped like a musical instrument, adds a unique touch to its personality. Numbered 0279/2000, this card maintains consistent design elements—such as the ASPCA name, $6 value, and issuance date—that unify the set. Overall, these telecards creatively utilize familiar cartoon animals to generate support for animal charities and foster compassion toward pets and stray animals alike.
