Highlights
Project Update: Rat Pins | Surveys in 2 days | Reminder to fix payment methods!
A brief update reminding people to fix their payment methods if they failed! If not you can still pick up your pledge during the survey. (If you have a balance on the survey it’s because your payment method failed) the surveys will go out on the 14th!
There will be a survey question that’ll ask if you want your order to be charged immediately or on the 1st 💕
Also some sneak peak bonus designs!
Project Update: New Pin: Rat King and new add-on sticker
Sorry for the delay! Rat king, the new cryptid you guys voted for, is now done and available as an option to back for! On top of that I have made a new updated "Horde" pledge level that now includes Rat King for a total of 16 pins (one each). Hope you like the design!Â
I have also included a new add-on sticker! A glow-in-the-dark sticker version of my Fresno Nightcrawler because it sounded fun to make and I have never made glow in the dark stickers.
Thanks again yall for a successful campaign! Only 3 days left!
Project Update: FINAL STRETCH!
We are in the final few days of the campaign. It's crazy how quickly this campaign went by and I can't believe it's almost over already!
Just a reminder that the campaign will end on November 14th at 11pm CST.
After the campaign is finished, I will be working hard to get the surveys set up. I will likely not send out the surveys until around 2 weeks after the campaign ends.
Between now and then, please make sure that you have a valid and accessible email connected to your BackerKit account so that the survey process can go as smoothly as possible.
Also please make sure your payment information is correct and up-to-date so you can avoid payment errors and declines.
Lastly, please remember that shipping is a separate charge that will be charged after the campaign. You can refer to the shipping & timeline section of the campaign page to see an estimate for how much shipping may be for your rewards.
Tote bag stretch goal
In these final days, word of mouth really does wonders. So please, if you know someone who would like these pins, send them my campaign! Every bit of support counts, let's go out with a bang!
Have a great week and talk to you guys again soon!
Cheers,
-Rain
Project Update: Last stretch goal and more!
We're in the final days of the campaign as it ends November 14th at 9PM PST. Please ensure that you have an valid email for your backerkit account so that the survey can be sent to you once the campaign is over. Also take the time to make sure your payment information is correct so you can avoid errors in payment.Â
Please remember that shipping is NOT CHARGED with you pledge. It's a separate charge that comes after surveys are filled out and fulfillment is underway. Again, SHIPPING WILL BE A SECONDARY CHARGE.
 Our last and final stretch goal is the Paw Street magnet!
I left the size up to you all to vote on and we'll be going with 2.5 inches. I have it set to unlock at 8k and if we hit 9k I'll make it into a sticker as well! If by some crazy, wild, chance we hit 10k I'll add in a color variation for it!
Don't forget about the cross-collab freebies!! Â
Be sure to check out my partner's campaign, BLOODLUST. If you pledge to us both you get these two freebie pins!
And finally, Campaign end day
I will be trying my best to be here on the last day of the campaign, though I'll busy getting ready and leaving to booth at Daku con in Colorado this weekend. Chances are I'll be quiet until I get home Mon-Tue of next week but I will do my best to be here and celebrate as much as I can with everyone! Surveys will go out as soon as I'm able to get to them and I thank you for your patience in advance.Â
 Can't believe there's only 3 days left to go until the campaign is over and if you haven't yet, be sure to tell a cat lover about this campaign before it's over!Â
Project Update: The Final Stretch - Recolors unlocked!
I'm happy to say that the recolors for the original 5 designs are unlocked! Thank you so much for the overwhelming support!
As the campaign comes to a close I'll likely be quiet as I continue to work on setting up the post campaign survey and begin to organize production with my suppliers. Just a reminder that the campaign is set to close November 14 at 6PM EST
In preparation for the survey, make sure you have an accessible email address and a valid credit card on file to make the survey process go as smooth as possible! More details on the survey process will come as we get closer to them being sent out.Â
In the meantime, thanks so much and have a happy and safe rest of your week! Â
Project Update: Poll Results!
Anyway look forward to that. Thanks ya'll for voting!

Thank you all,

Your little cats are very cute. Best of luck getting all of the designs unlocked :) I just noticed that this project isn't showing up in the "enamel pins" category on the main Backerkit page, or in the list of live pin projects. It might get more attention if you're able to tag it with 'enamel pins' as well as 'art.' Just a thought!
Project Update: Campaign is done! Info about next steps
Apologies for the late update! I just now noticed that my original "yay we're done!" update... never actually went out. I apparently only saved the draft and didn't publish it. Sorry about that! I definitely didn't mean to leave you all hanging for all this time.
So! Pintober is over and the campaign is done. We did fund almost all the designs, so you'll have a lot of options to choose from! Thank you all so much for your support of this project. It really means the world to me that so many people want to see these designs turned into real pins. I've been hard at work finishing my files for manufacturing, and I'm very excited to get that ball rolling soon.
But what are the next steps from your perspective? Here's a rough outline of the schedule:
- November: Surveys will go out within the next two weeks. Once you get your survey link, you can choose your rewards, grab some add-ons, and add in your address. If you're moving soon, don't worry! You'll get a chance to check and change your address before shipping happens.
- December: Surveys will be open for 15 days. After this, responses will be locked so I have some idea of how many of each pin we need for manufacturing. You'll get a reminder to double check your order before it's locked.
- March 2025: Shipping will begin! You'll get a chance to double check your address and other details before your package goes out.
Behind the scenes, I'll get things into production in December. Stickers, acrylic items, and pins will start arriving in January and February, after which I'll quality check everything and start packing everyone's orders. By the end of March, the project should be wrapped up! If any delays happen, I'll let everyone know as soon as possible and generally keep you up to date on where things are at.
In the meanwhile, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to let me know! Apologies again for the late update on this -- I really thought I had published it and didn't think to check back until now.Â
As always, thank you so much for your support! None of this would be possible without your help and patience. I'm deeply grateful to you all, and also very excited to make everyone's pin collections just a little bit more haunted soon!
