The Start of an Idea

I have been an avid fan of this series for over a decade now. Like many superfans, I own every book, figurine, and plush. But it's no secret that fans aren't fully satisfied with the handling of our favorite felines. This is where I come in:

I am an artist and a business student, but I'm also chronically ill and have extreme difficulty holding a job. I have been forced to leave five jobs since 2023 due to my development of Long Covid, POTS, and ME/CFS. It's getting harder and harder to sell art through commissions with the new rise of AI "art" online, so my income has been declining. I could not leave art behind, though. So, I decided to get crafty. 

With inspiration from Oiyll's (@VarianVinnyV on X) "Silly Kitty Plushies" line, I decided to create my own fan-made feline collection. 

I am trying to raise $1620 USD to cover costs of manufacturing. I do hope that you will support my journey!

How Does Pledging Work?

Pledges are the foundation of a campaign. Manufacturing is expensive, but it is so incredibly worth it to get these lovable fan-favorite felines into your hands!

But don't worry if this campaign doesn't meet its goal! Pledges are only charged if this campaign is successful. If we are able to reach a total of $1620 USD, the first plush will launch!

If we are able to raise even more, then new goals have the potential to be unlocked! If we reach $3240, for example, you now have a second cat to pick from when purchasing your plush!

The ultimate goal is to reach over $8100 USD, where at that point, you unlock five cats to pick from!

I hold polls often on x.com/jaystarrescats so that you, the fans, are able to pick which cat you want to see the most!

Please keep in mind that this is an estimated timeline and is subject to change.

I am unfortunately unlikely to be able to ship outside of the USA without a hefty price tag added on. I apologize deeply if this causes any inconvenience. Depending on how much the campaign raises, there is a possibility that shipping will be less!

Below are the flat rate shipping costs:

Continental United States: $10 USD
Other North American Regions: $20 USD
Europe & Australia: $30 USD
Other Continents: Please message me on x.com/jaystarrescats for information.

Shipping will be charged after the campaign ends. Make sure to keep a close eye on your email!
