My name is Brianna, and one of the first things you'll learn about me is I'm obsessed with cats - especially my own.

This concept was inspired by my baby girls: Mochi, a demon-in-fur tuxedo, and Holee, our sweet 21-year-old lovebug. And my shop is named after my beautiful departed kitty, Zoe, a maine coon tabby mix who was my 16th birthday present and saw me through my formative years.

Now, I love to travel, but kitties aren't so fond of the pastime, so I had a crazy idea to crochet tiny doppelgängers from my kitties' brushed fur so we could take a piece of them with us wherever we went (and now they star on their own IG account @shadykitties!).

Using the crochet skills my mother taught me, I experimented with different techniques until I got tiny kitties I loved. Now, I can't get enough of seeing each new feline come to life, and I can be a crazy cat lady without driving my husband crazy with real cats. 😸

Whether you're looking to memorialize your best friend on the other side of the rainbow bridge, you want a fun mini of your feline at home, or you just want to collect cats like me, I have the kitty for you! =^..^=

I also believe it's important to give back whenever possible. Shop with an open heart, knowing that EVERY purchase supports the Cat Adoption Team (CAT), the local shelter from which we adopted our Mochi.
