5 out of 5 starsMy little girl Gigi gets endless compliments on her collar when we go for walks and every time I see her collar I can't help but think it matches her little personality so much I couldn't be happier with the beautiful craftsmanship. I loved the collar so much that I ordered two more spares for her. Thank you so much!

5 out of 5 starsI've been purchasing collars for my dogs from Ike & Stella's for years now and they are always superb quality! The collar has lasted my dog's lifetime and the sleeves probably would last that long as well. They're just so beautiful I keep changing out the sleeves so I can't really test out their longevity :). I'm excited to use this new collar with my new puppy!

5 out of 5 starsThis is my second purchase of this collar. The first one lasted 4 years for my indoor cat. It is well made, and the color really goes well with my cat's yellow eyes!

5 out of 5 starsExcellent Customer Service! Seller warns that some cat’s may scratch this collar. I liked this collar & name tag very much. I hoped my kitty would not ruin it,but she did.
She is a rescue cat, so it may just be that she is unused to wearing a collar. Unfortunately, she shredded this collar in a week.
Seller is very accommodating & nice. I only post this photo, so other Buyers may be aware of this issue.
About ikeandstella
handcrafted pet goods
In February of 2012 my dog Ike and I decided to go into business together. At the time, he was about 4 weeks old, fresh off a flight from the Bahamas, where he was born a "potcake" - a term they use in the Caribbean for the feral dogs that roam the streets. The term comes from their mythical method of survival - the crusted "cake" leftover in pots that Bahamians would leave out after they finished cooking their staple dish, peas and rice. While it may have been true at some point, today potcakes are more likely to survive off of whatever they find in the garbage, or if they're lucky enough to live by an empty beach, fish and crabs that they catch themselves.
I met my first potcake puppies in December of 2011 when a litter showed up near where my dad lives in Nicholstown, Andros in the Bahamas. Like any dog living on the streets, the survival rate of a litter is low, and those who do survive live very short and difficult lives. The US and Canada make it very easy to transport these pups into the country, where there are plenty of families happy to adopt them. Christmas 2012 brought the second litter of puppies, and from them I brought home Ike and Stella. Stella found herself a happy family in Denver, whereas Ike became a part of my family, and that's when I asked myself what came to be a very important question - how do you make a dog collar?
Every product you find here I designed and made with my own two hands. For every collar sold, $1 goes to the spay/neuter and homing of potcakes in the Bahamas. The problem of stray and homeless animals is vast and complicated but with our business, Ike and I hope to make a dent in helping his incredibly smart and gracious breed live a happier and healthier life.

IMPORTANT if you've purchased a FELT cat collar: on the one hand the collars are made from the highest quality felt available, so they should by no means just fall apart. On the other hand - the collars are made from felt, so they aren't going to survive if your cat scratches/chews at them repeatedly. If your kitty does either, I suggest purchasing a nylon or leather collar. If you have a new kitten and aren't sure, try getting them used to a cheap, nylon collar first so they can get used to wearing one. I cannot be held responsible/issue refunds for your cat destroying the collar. Having said that, I totally get that this is probably your cat's first felt collar, so I do offer a discount on a replacement collar - whether you want to try the felt again or one of my other styles, I will put the total price of the felt collar you purchased towards another collar, so you'll only have to pay the difference. Please message me for more info!
