Project Update: New Campaign Announcement & Sneak Peak🎉

Hello everyone! Happy New Year! 

I am so excited to share that we will be launching a new campaign this May called Cuddlelore Cuties! This new plush collection will look quite a bit different from this one as it will feature both mythical creatures and forest animals! These plushies are large, weighted, and have floppy limbs! We have already come up with 15 different designs and each one will have its own outfit! 

In addition to the plushies, we will have ten adorable pin designs, unique fidget and sensory toys, and more that I cannot wait to share! 

Make sure to sign up for the pre-launch page to receive updates about this new campaign! Once we get to 500 email sign ups, we will share more details!

Project Update: 📦 🎊 The Scary Cats have arrived! Time for shipping!

Hello everyone!

All of the Scary Cats have arrived to my warehouse! It is finally time to ship them out to you all and I couldn't be more excited! I am so glad that they arrived in time for Halloween! 

I will begin by shipping out the one plush orders, then two plush, three plush, etc. I am hoping to have them all shipped out by the end of this week, but larger orders could take me until the next week to complete.  Once your plushies have shipped, you will be sent a tracking number to your email. All orders will be sent through USPS, except for Canada orders, which will be sent through UPS.


Here are some behind the scenes photos!

6 Pallets of Plushies

Tuni
I will be starting with Tuni orders! So if you just picked Tuni the Pumpkin, you can expect to see your tracking number tomorrow or Thursday! The rest of the styles will soon follow, so keep an eye on your emails! 

If you have not paid for shipping yet, please make sure to do so as your order will not be sent out until it has been paid.

If you need help accessing your survey or have any questions, please email me at [email protected] or use the contact form on my website.

Project Update: Charging Cards For Shipping, Preorders, Add-ons + Locking Addresses Soon!

Hello Everyone!

The plushies are on the way to me! This means that it is time to charge for shipping! Shipping will be charged this Friday 9/19 to your card on file. I will be unable to send your items until shipping has been paid, so please make sure that your payment info is correct. You are able to check your shipping charges on your survey. If you need help accessing your survey, please let me know and I can send you a direct link.

If you added any items through your survey or purchased through the pre-order store, you will be charged on Friday 9/19 as well. For those who purchased through the pre-order store, you will be charged for shipping and the items you purchased. 

Also, please double check your addresses and make sure they are correct. I will be locking addresses October 1st to get ready for fulfillment! After this deadline, you will be unable to make changes to your address.

Almost everyone has completed their survey, but there are a few of you that haven't so please make sure to that asap! If it is not filled out, I will not be able to ship anything to you. 

I have put all of the Scary Cat listings on my website, so if you would like to look at their product photos you can do so here!

The wait is almost over! I am so excited that it is almost time to ship these spooky kitties to you! My manufacturer says they should be arriving in 25 days which is around the second week of October.

If you have any questions at all, please email me at [email protected] or use the contact form on my website.

Project Update: Production Update + Shipping Info

Hello Everyone!

I have a few updates to share with you since we are finally in the home stretch of waiting!

All of the Scary Cat plushies have been safety tested and passed with flying colors! They are approved for ages 4+.

The plushies are currently in production and are expected to finish by the end of the month. Once they are finished, they will be quality checked and then sent to me. This entire process typically takes 4-6 weeks. I am expecting that they will arrive to me mid October.

That being said, I will be charging shipping once my manufacturer has sent them my way so I can start fulfilling pledges asap. I will send another update before charging shipping so that there are no surprises. Expect shipping and any additional add-ons purchased during surveys to be charged mid September.

The pins and tote bags have already arrived to me and I have been packaging them so they will be ready to send off when the plushies get here. I am still waiting on the stickers!

My current estimated ship date is mid to late October.

Here are some production photos! 




They obviously still need their costumes and accessories but production is nearly finished! I am so excited to finally get to send them out.

If you have any questions please email me at [email protected] or use the contact form on my website. I hope you all have a great week!

Project Update: Locking Surveys + Pre-Order Store Closes Tonight!

Hello everyone!

Surveys will be locked tonight at 11:59 PM Pacific time. This only applies to submitted surveys. If you have not completed yours yet due to paying with installments or otherwise, you will still be able to so even after they are locked. For those of you who have completed your survey, you will no longer be able to make changes after today so please make any adjustments before the deadline. You will still be able to edit your address if necessary. We will not lock addresses until closer to fulfillment. Just a reminder that shipping has not been charged yet, and will be charged once the plushies are on the way to me. 

Backers who are paying with installments will receive surveys after full payment has been received. The last installment is scheduled for the end of August, so they will go out shortly after the last payment has been processed.

The pre-order store will also be closing tonight at 11:59 PM Pacific time. If you missed out on the campaign, it is your last chance to order any of the Scary Cats for the discounted price. Once they arrive on my website later this year, they will be more expensive.

PRE-ORDER SCARY CATS HERE!

We are getting closer to production starting! I will send more updates once we finally get the ball rolling! 

I hope you all have a fantastic rest of your week!
