Project FAQ
All pledges get us one step closer to our funding goals! If we do not reach our goals, we will be unable to manufacture all of the Scary Cat designs. Backers get special perks, such as a discounted price, freebies, and a behind the scenes look of the manufacturing process! If you are interested in any of the Scary Cat plushies, we recommend pledging to help them come to life! The price of Scary Cats will be raised to $50 if we have excess stock in October/November. Early Bird Backers will be able to purchase Scary Cats for the lowest price possible ($43). Regular backers will also receive a slightly discounted price of $48 for one plush or $47 if you pledge for multiple plushies.
Yes! You are able to select the number of plushies you would like to pledge for. After the campaign has ended, you will be able to pick from the unlocked designs.
Unfortunately, if we do not reach our funding goal for a specific character, we won't be able to manufacture it. You are able to cancel your pledge before the end of the campaign if the Scary Cat you pledged for does not get unlocked!
Your card will be charged after the campaign ends on May 28th.
Around two weeks after the campaign ends, we will send out a survey where you will be able to select from the unlocked plushie designs. Those who choose to pay in installments will receive their survey after full payment has been made.
We are able to ship everywhere except the EU for this campaign. Please take note of the shipping estimates listed. They are subject to change, but should give you a decent idea of what to expect. Shipping is charged after the campaign has ended. International backers will be responsible for all customs/import fees.
Due to the uncertainty of the tariff situation, I have decided to go forward with this campaign without raising my prices. Since these plushies are not expected to arrive to me until October/November, I am hopeful that the exorbitant tariff fee will be reduced/removed by then. I have planned to absorb tariff costs up to 35%, but the 145%+ tariffs are not feasible for me. If the high tariffs remain in place, I will have to add a tariff charge to offset the costs. This fee would be charged alongside shipping, close to order fulfillment time.

BackerKit FAQ
BackerKit Crowdfunding is an all-or-nothing collaborative funding platform. Creators share their project ideas and set a funding goal with a deadline. Backers pledge money to help make the project possible.
If the project meets its goal by the deadline, pledges are charged and the creator moves forward. If it doesn’t, no one is charged.
Backers often receive special rewards for their support, such as:
- Exclusive products
- Bonus rewards for backing related projects
- Discount pricing
- Behind-the-scenes updates
- Creative input opportunities
Pledging in crowdfunding is a commitment to support the creation of a new product or project. Unlike a traditional purchase, you're not buying an item that already exists. Instead, your contribution helps bring a creative idea to life, and in return, you typically receive rewards (such as the product itself) as a thank you for your early support.
- Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
- Select any add-ons
- Confirm your pledge!
- You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
- Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.
The creator will send you a survey to:
- Ask you for more information about your rewards (selecting options, etc)
- Collect shipping information
- Offer additional items you may want to add to your pledge
- Collect shipping fees (if applicable)
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge. Additional payments are charged when you complete the survey.
Only the project creator and the BackerKit Support Team can see your pledge and contact information. Other backers and the public cannot see your individual pledge amount or personal details.
You can change or adjust your pledge level and add-ons before the campaign ends. After the project concludes, cancellations or changes are at the creator's discretion and may depend on what stage the project is in.
Overtime Mode extends your campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge. It will add an additional 10 minutes past the end time as long as pledges keep coming in. The campaign will end when there is a 10-minute period without any new pledges.
