Hi again Critters!

The title of this update gives away the big news I have to share…

(We technically finished packing orders over a month ago, but I promptly went into rest & recoup mode for the past few weeks!)

With that, the campaign has officially come full circle.. from the very first post I shared in 2024, to sending out the very last pre-order in 2026! In total, we shipped out 1,872 orders, with a final count of 3,122 plush. That’s such an amazing feat, especially considering this was our first campaign! I’m still in awe of the sheer amount of love, support, and understanding you’ve all shown me over the past 18 months.

Thank you for the support, the excitement, the compassion, and yes, even the critiques. You all helped me through one of the most amazing (and challenging) times of my life, and I’m so grateful that you each get to carry a little piece of that with you now. Just know that I treated every single one of your critters with the utmost care, and most importantly, so much love, before sending them out. I truly hope that’s something you can feel!

I also want to take a moment to remind you that you are capable of achieving great things too! No matter how low, hurt, or lost you may feel, there will always be a glimmer of hope, strength, and potential within you! And In my experience, some of the best ideas come when we’re at our lowest, and amazing things can grow from even the darkest places. So as a final note, I encourage you to listen to that little spark inside you, nurture it, and see where it leads you! 💛

If you loved your first Critters and want to add more to your collection (or if you missed out on the campaign) this will be your chance to pick up anything you missed! This shop opening will include everything from the campaign plus discounted B-grades.

And as a heads up, going forward we’ve made slight pricing changes! Standard-grade plush will now be $50, and B-grade plush will be $40. Some of the clothing has increased in price as well, though it varies from piece to piece.
Our shop platform also accepts Affirm, Klarna, and Afterpay, so you can place larger orders with a payment plan if needed!

At this time, we are still only shipping to North American countries. Unfortunately, collecting and remitting taxes for the UK, EU, and other countries has been difficult to set up, so we’ve decided to open an Etsy shop for the time being. Etsy isn’t my first choice as a platform, but the way it streamlines tax collection for both the seller and buyer is something we need to take advantage of for now. I’m currently expecting the Etsy shop to be up around mid-April, so you can look forward to it opening around then! 💛

Hi there Critters!

This update is for anyone who purchased clothing for their Critters, applying to both fulfilled and unfulfilled orders.

It was brought to my attention that some of our clothing can bleed or transfer dye.

After some experimentation, I can confirm that the Black Turtleneck Tee, Cozy Coffee Cardigan, and Midnight Overall Pants all bleed dye when exposed to water. In some cases, these pieces can also dry-transfer dye when rubbing against a Critter’s fur.

I’m recommending that everyone machine-wash those three dark clothing items as a safety measure! They can be washed with warm or hot water and your regular detergent, preferably on a delicate cycle. In my experiments, one wash and rinse cycle was enough to remove the loose dye particles.

The rest of our clothes are lighter colored or use sublimation dyeing techniques, so they do not bleed any color.

I loved the idea of using real textiles where I could, but I didn’t remember to factor in the risks that come with them. Black and dark-colored fabrics notoriously bleed dye, and unfortunately the Critter clothes weren’t an exception.

At this time, I’m unable to wash the clothes before shipment. I don’t want to risk exposing the clothes to pet or detergent allergens in my personal or laundromat washers!

This is something I’ll definitely keep a closer eye on in the future, and I’ll make sure to include caution and care cards with future packages and sales.

That’s all for now! Thank you guys! 💛

Hi there Critters!

I hope you’ve all had a good January and start to the new year!

I know it’s a very busy time for campaigns with the Pintopia event having just launched, so I’ll keep this update short n’ sweet! 💛

🍄 Sticker-Only Orders — (COMPLETED! 🎉🎉🎉)
All campaign sticker-only orders were shipped on August 27th!

🍄 Small-Item Only Orders — (COMPLETED! 🎉🎉🎉)
All campaign small-item only orders were shipped on September 8th!

🍄 Plush-Only Orders — (COMPLETED! 🎉🎉🎉)
All Plush-Only Orders were shipped on or before November 12th!

🍄 Plush & Clothing Orders & Pre-Orders — (IN PROGRESS ⏳ 80% COMPLETE)
We are currently shipping plush & clothing orders! At the time of this update, we have just 285 orders left to fulfill. This number includes both campaign backers and late pre-orders.

I estimate we will finish all orders placed during the original campaign this week! Pre-order fulfillment will be completed by mid-February.

It has been a while since we locked addresses, so if you need to change yours, please email us at [email protected] with your order information (Backerkit email and/or shipping name) as soon as possible.

Since we will be finishing fulfillment within the next few weeks, this is the official LAST CALL to complete your surveys and pay any remaining balances if you haven’t already done so. Any backers who have not completed these actions by February 20th will have their pledges canceled and refunded (if applicable).

Again, thank you all so much for the incredible amount of patience and understanding you’ve shown throughout fulfillment! Estimating the fulfillment timeline has truly been the hardest part of this campaign, and there have been many misjudgments made and delays experienced along the way.

I’ll admit I feel disappointed and embarrassed by the situation, but all I can do is move forward and treat it as a lesson learned for next time!

As always, if you have any questions about your order (including estimated shipping date) you can email us at [email protected] for help!

If you’ve received your order, please consider leaving any positive feedback below! I’m admittedly feeling a bit burnt out lately, but your words and photos always help give me a boost. I could really use the extra support to get through this final stretch 🥺💕

Hi there, Critters!

I hope you’re all having a wonderful holiday season!

I just wanted to pop in with a quick fulfillment update for you all 💛

We mentioned this over in our Discord server, but we made the decision not to ship packages between December 17th and December 27th. Orders were still being packed during this time, but we held off on dropping them off at the post office to help reduce the risk of lost or damaged packages during the holiday rush, and to avoid deliveries arriving while folks were away from home. Now that the 27th has passed, all packages that were packed during this window will be dropped off at the post office next Monday, the 29th! Tracking information for those orders will be sent shortly, so if your tracking hasn’t updated yet, please know your package is safe in our hands until then.

On a similar note, we’ve been working hard to keep things moving as quickly as possible and have fewer than 600 orders remaining! We started out with nearly 1,900 orders, so we’ve made a lot of progress, and we’re still aiming to wrap up fulfillment by the end of January.

That’s all for now, Critters! Thank you all so much for your patience and understanding. We’re a team of just two packing all of these orders, and while it’s taken longer than we originally expected, I believe the wait will be worth it in the end! 💛
