Happy Loopy Cats
If you love the Stray Cat 'Inbetweeners' collection, meet its cousin: Happy Loopy Cats.
Alongside the art and gifts, I hand-make valerian and catnip toys — something I've done for rescue cats for over twenty years, long before Shelter & Shadows Design, or Happy Loopy Cats existed.
Over twenty years of fostering and rehoming, I made countless toys stuffed with valerian and catnip to help nervous cats settle and confident cats burn off energy. The Knotties you'll find here are the same toys, just grown up: supersize, handmade and loved by cats (and their humans) up and down the country.
Supersized 7"knotties
Meet the Knotties
Supersize toys packed with valerian or catnip for serious rolling, kicking, and flopping. Catnip brings out the playful, zoomy side of most cats, while valerian has a gentler, calming effect — handy for nervier cats, ones settling into a new home or just for sheer enjoyment! Every knottie is hand-made to order, in the same way I've made these toys for rescue cats for the last two decades.


Now available to purchase in the online shop!

In the Shelter & Shadows online shop these are available to purchase in packs of 5 knotties including postage via courier. These will be a selection of fabric designs. All you need to do is make your selection of either Catnip or Valerian.
If you would like to order a smaller amount, choose you fabric design, or order a 'rescue bundle' to be sent directly to a rescue of your choice, then please head across to my Happy Loopy Cats Etsy store using the link below.

Happy Loopy Cats has been quietly making cats (and their humans) happy for a couple of years on Etsy, with over 200 orders sent out and a five-star rating. Customers regularly tell me their cats "go mad" for the Knotties — and more than a few have sent extra bundles straight to their local rescue, which always makes my day. But don't take my word for it, head over to Etsy using the link below and see for yourself
