Knit Catnip Lab Mouse by VivaLeChat



This awesome catnip toy by VivaLeChat is a winter white mouse that will encourage your kitty's curiosity.

I donate a third of what I earn on Etsy to In Memory of Magic, an organization that fund raises for families with companion animals in need of emergency vet care that the families cannot afford. Currently, I have raised over $800 through catnip mouse sales for IMOM.

Knit Catnip Mouse is Bright Rosy Pink by VivaLeChat


This mouse fits the theme because I made it using up the last of the pink yarn (that's why it is slightly smaller and has a blunter nose than my normal mouse pattern). Whenever I use up a skein, I allow myself to buy a new skein--so it's time to go shopping!

I donate a third of my profit to imom.org, a charity that fundraises for families that cannot afford needed emergency vet expenses for their companion animals

Knit Catnip Mouse in Soft Shades of Blue by Vivalechat's Shop


Knit catnip mouse in soft blue ocean shades. This mouse is knit from acrylic yarn in stripes of soft shades of blue--it reminds me of a watercolor painting! Very sturdy design with tight-knit gauge to prevent the catnip from spilling out. This mouse will last for a very long time! Each mouse is approximately 3.5-4.5 inches long not including tail. I fill with only catnip (no cotton filler or other sort of stuffing) and use Cosmic Catnip (a brand of super-potent catnip available at lots of pet stores).

Team EFA March Theme Mouse In Like a Lion Out Like a Lamb by VivaLeChat


Here's my March EFA theme item. I made this mouse to look like a little lion (to fit the theme). As always, a third of the profit from every one of my mice goes to imom.org, an organization that fundraises for needy families who cannot afford needed emergency vet expenses.

(Congratulations to VivaLeChat. This item sold before being published in the blog. Check her shop for more of her mousies.)

Halloween catnip mouse by VivaLeChat


"Trick or treat," chirps your kitty. How about a Halloween treat especially made for him or her? Made of super bright orange, white, and black acrylic yarn. Very sturdy design with tight-knit gauge to prevent the catnip from spilling out. This mouse will last for a very long time! Each mouse is approximately 3.5-4.5 inches long not including tail. I fill with only catnip (no cotton filler or other sort of stuffing) and use Cosmic Catnip (a brand of super-potent catnip available at lots of pet stores).


I lost my kitty to heart failure on June 23, 2008, but want to help other people facing similar financial difficulties. A third of the proceeds from my mice will be going to IMOM.org, an organization that raises funds for low-income families with prohibitively high vet expenses.

Team EFA Birthday Bash Party Hat Catnip Mouse by VivaLeChat



Happy Birthday, Team EFA!


In honor of Team EFA (Etsy for Animals)'s first birthday, team members are listing birthday party themed items (search "team efa" and "birthday" for more items)! This li'l guy is made to look like a party hat, complete with "Fun Fur" yarn "whiskers", bright colors, and a tail designed to look like a neck strap. Unlike my other mice, this one also has a flat-butt so it can stand up on end--just like a party hat!


And wow is my li'l girl ZZ jealous! Looks like I'll have to make her a party hat too!
