Following the successful pilot campaign last year, FOREST FELINES is back for Series One; the official launch of a brand new series of cuddly, cute, and fierce plush toys!

Tucked deep in the woods are the Forest Felines, fierce wildcats that hunt and fight for their freedom! These cats are tough, proud, and strong, and you can help grow their clan by collecting all your favorite hunters, fighters, and medics!

Series One has three characters: Forest Sand, Forest Leaf, and Forest Squirrel, the beloved family of Forest Fire! These plush toys are approximately 8" (20.32 cm) tall and 12" (30 cm) long, not including their tails. They have embroidered facial features, are made of short-pile (1mm) minky fabric, and contain polyester filling. Each cat has their own unique markings and coats to help set them apart and create a fun, unique cast of characters! They are in a laying position with a long body, which makes them great for holding and snuggling.

Forest Sand is the mate of Forest Fire as well as his right-hand cat. Sharp-tongued, clever, and headstrong, Forest Sand always speaks her mind, even if it's less than polite.

Forest Leaf is the first born daughter of Forest Fire and Forest Sand. Soft-spoken and timid, Forest Leaf is often underestimated. But make no mistake; she is selfless, hard-working, and one of the most skilled medics in the forest!

Forest Squirrel is the second born daughter of Forest Fire and Forest Sand. The opposite of her sister, she is brash, impulsive, and loud; but there's no cat more capable of holding her own and standing up for others than Forest Squirrel. 

Please note that these are prototype images of the newcomer plushies - The images will be updated as I work with the manufacturer to bring the next two Forest Felines to life!

Forest Cloud (Top) is a newcomer to the forest. While his uncle, Forest Fire, doesn't always remind other Forest Felines he used to be a housecat, Forest Cloud is nothing short of proud of where he came from. He can be frustrating, impulsive, and stubborn, but he proves time and time again that your origins don't have to determine who you are. 

Forest Bright (Bottom) Is a cat who's suffered much in her past. She endured a harrowing dog attack as a mere kitten, losing half of her face in the process. It was difficult to adapt to a new life with her blindness and deafness on one side of her face. But Forest Bright persevered through hardship, keeping her chin up and proving that every cat's life in the forest is valuable and beautiful. She is Forest Cloud's mate, and a member of the Fire Family whether she likes it or not!

The goal of this project is to bring these three adorable plush kitty cats to life and unleash them onto the unsuspecting public! Forest Fire was just the beginning... we are aiming for WORLD DOMINATION!

But I'm getting ahead of myself... Let's break down the funding of this project.

The initial goal of 800 USD will fund the production and distribution of Forest Sand.
The second goal of 1600 USD will fund the production and distribution of Forest Leaf.
The third and final goal of 2400 USD will fund the production and distribution of Forest Squirrel.

Wow, 2400 USD? That's a lot of cash! Let's break it down:

Those of you who are math-oriented may notice this leaves a bit of wiggle room from the 2400 total. This is to cover Backerkit fees, as well as preparing for the possibility of fluctuations in shipping costs. The 2400 USD goal will fund the production of 150 total plushies - the manufacturer has a MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) of 50 per design. Any money beyond the goal will go towards funding more plushies for more backers! Also, Series Two of Forest Felines.... but more on that later, of course ;)

As this is a Backerkit campaign, shipping will be charged after the end of the project. Your pledge cost does not include shipping! I am willing to ship to all countries, but be aware I cannot control packages becoming lost or damaged in transit. If your country's mail system is unreliable, please keep this in mind. Packages will ship from the USA. International shipping may take up to 4 weeks. International buyers are responsible for any import fees/duties that may occur as a result of purchasing. Please use your own discretion when ordering!
