Made for Cats, by a Cat Lover
Hi, I'm Amy, the maker behind Calico & Clover (formerly Fox Hollow Studio).
I'm English, I live in Wuppertal, Germany, and I make natural cat toys by hand in my little studio. Most of the wool I use comes from my family's farm and shepherd friends in England, so many of my toys start their life on a British sheep.
I started making toys because I couldn't find what I wanted for my own cats: something natural, plastic-free, well made, and pretty enough to leave lying around the living room (which, let's be honest, is where cat toys live).
Everything here is made in small batches with materials I trust: wool, cotton, wood, real catnip, valerian and matatabi. A few pieces, like our raffia baskets, are made by partner makers, and I always say so in the listing.
My quality control team is Pancake and Marmalade, two rescue cats with very different personalities and very high standards. If they don't approve of a toy, it doesn't make it into the shop.
Our new name, Calico & Clover, is a little nod to the cats who inspire everything and the natural world the materials come from. Same toys, same care, just a name that feels more like us.
Thank you for supporting a small handmade business. Every order, message and photo of a happy cat genuinely makes my day.
