Dear friends. I am making some toy cat mice for shelter animals who sit alone in cages. I fold a piece of soft fabric over in half, cut out a heart, cut out a tail, and stuff the inside with some catnip or spray the outside with catnip spray, batting or crinkle wrapping paper. I sew it up by hand, sometimes spray the outside with catnip spray and have children color the faces on with fabric markers. I usually use clearance fleece or else some old clothing material that isnt used anymore. (for example-I just used some bright purple leggings that used to be a toddlers. They didnt use the 2T leggings anymore because there was a hole in the leg.) Anyhow, I was able to make about 30 mice from them. If anyone else would like to join in the cause and make some at their house to for the countless cats sitting alone in shelter cages waiting for a home-or you want to get your kids involved in making them -please let me know. My friend is also needing Catnip Pillows made to sell to raise funds to save animals out of cages and get them proper care. Comment below if you can help. We can collect them all together in a couple weeks. :-)
