    Hi there! Welcome to Fido the Cat!

    Fido the Cat is a place where you can find handcrafted “food” and “whimsical” catnip cat toys. When I create “food” toys, I focus on the details. Make them look as realistic as possible. Creating “fun/novelty” toys, I try to make them whimsical. Each cat toy is individually handmade by me. I am perfectionist. I do understand handmade is never perfect and the small imperfections make each one unique and special. It is part of the charm.

    All the cat toys are filled with organic catnip grown in the USA. Catnip-free cat toys are also available.

    Yes! The order can be sent directly to the recipient. Etsy lets you change the ship to address at checkout. Please double-check the shipping address you enter for the order. You are responsible if the ship address you enter is incorrect. I’m sorry!

    Gift Wrapping:
    Absolutely! I will make sure it is gift ready, so you do not need to think about it. Please choose from any wrapping options on the listing. Some listings may not have room for the wrapping option. No worries. In your cart, please write in “Note to Fido the Cat” the type of wrapping you would like.

    Gift Card:
    Oh, you must! You can include a gift card with a personal note, in your cart, please write in “Note to FidoTheCat” the personal message and I will make sure it gets attached.

    See Step 4 for “Note” - https://www.etsy.com/help/article/339

    How to use PayPal as a guest: https://www.etsy.com/help/article/361

    E-Check through PayPal as the method of payment, the order will be held until the payment clears. This can take about 5 to 10 business days. The order will ship the next day.

    I do not include invoice or package slip inside your package. Etsy emails one to you and your receipt is always available under “Purchases & Review” in your account.
    Shipping
    Orders are normally filled and shipped in 1 to 2 business days to the address on the order. I aim to get the order to you as quickly as I can. During the holiday season, the shipping department may have some delays. If you have some concerns on the timing of delivery, please feel free to contact me and I will let you know if I can meet your deadline.

    Custom made orders will vary. The delivery timeline will be determined and agreed during the “Custom Order” process.

    Please double-check the shipping address you enter for the order. You are responsible if the ship address you enter is incorrect. I’m sorry!

    Domestic Shipping:
    United States Postal Service (USPS) First-Class Mail is used for shipping. If you need faster delivery service, there is USPS Priority Mail and USPS Priority Mail Express shipping available for an additional cost.

    International Shipping:
    United States Postal Service First-Class Mail International or First-Class Package International Service is used for shipping. If you need faster delivery service, please contact me with your postal code, the list of items you plan to order. I will send you a quote for USPS Priority Mail International delivery service.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: International customers are responsible for any and all Customs Charges, Taxes & Additional Postal Fees. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying.

    United States Postal Service (USPS) Delivery Estimates:
    First-Class Mail: 2 to 5 business days
    Priority Mail: 2 to 3 business days
    Priority Mail Express: 1 business day
    First-Class Mail International: Varies by destination
    First-Class Package International Service: Varies by destination
    Priority Mail International: 6 to 10 business days
    Depending on your country's customs procedures, your package may take additional delivery time.

    Delivery Confirmation:
    Domestic customers will receive an email with Tracking Information/Delivery Confirmation once the order ships.

    International customers will receive an email with USPS Customs Declaration number once the order ships. I do not have tracking for the order. Etsy through USPS provides package information using the USPS Customs Declaration number.

    If by chance the order gets labeled with a recycled USPS Customs Declaration number (Yes, it happened! Yes, it was scary to the customer and me), it will take a day or two for the USPS system to reset by removing the previous customer’s package information and update with your current package information.

    If your item has not arrived within 21 business days, please contact your local postal office and your regional customs office with the USPS Customs Declaration number.
    Additional policies and FAQs

    Custom Orders:
    I like custom orders, personalized orders and bulk orders. Let me know what you have in mind by clicking on “Request Custom Order”.

    Product Images:
    The colors of the cat toy shown in the image are very close. I tried to capture the true colors of the cat toy to the best of my abilities. Please note the colors of the cat toy may be slightly different than they appear on different computer monitors due to differences in the monitors and/or the settings.

    Cat’s Feedbacks:
    I LOVE pictures and videos!

    If you happened to take pictures or a video of your cat or your friend’s cat with one of Fido the Cat toys, please send it. I would love to see it. Cat’s feedback is the best.

    You can attach the images by clicking the "Contact the shop owner" link under Fido the Cat logo and then click on the “Attach Image” on the lower right. You can also send it to FidotheCat[at]yahoo.com.
