This site is designed to introduce you to some of these businesses. Next time you want to purchase an item consider checking with them. Or... if you feel down and need a pick me up just stop by and see what some good hearted businesses are up to.
City Kitty Climber
Cats have a natural instinct to climb and scratch. The City Kitty Climber (tm) offers them a straight-up, vertical climb to exercise that instinct. It takes none of your floor space and doubles as a scratching post. Made of natural (non-oiled) sisal and a natural pine board with no chemicals. Let your cat climb the wall or door ... literally. Made in the Midwest by a great husband and wife team who saw a need and filled it! Go here to learn more ...
The Cobra Head Gardening Tool
The Purrfectplay family spends many hours in the garden. Some of us dig with our paws but the human arm of the family needs help digging. Since we don't use chemicals to chase down weeds our tools are super important. The Cobra Head one great tool! It is 100% made in the Midwest and stands up to tough gardening conditions. Check it out.
Conscious Bath Company
Sometimes when we are attending a green fair we meet that other vendor who matches our beliefs and energy in a very nice way. The Conscious Bath Company is a wonderful new business friend. We love their soaps and their philosophy. We are carrying their pet soap but you can try their other yummy soaps and lotions too!
Cool Hats
I met Ann and Brent in St. Paul and feel in love with their hats! Truly cool, they are stylish and made beautifully. We are fast becoming a hat family because of them. Ann also makes a very useful product called a BYO bag (bring your own) for fruits and veggies. Like the hats, these are made in her Minnesota workshop from lightweight nylon mesh they are long lasting, breathable, washable and best of all, reusable.

Maddy's Organic Meals
OK- some of you may wonder why a fresh organic baby food website is listed by us as a favorite link. Well... first, it is a really fun site to visit (go yourself and see what we mean!). Also for those of us with older cats who are becoming frail and having health problems baby food can be a great offering. When our wonderful cat, Spooky, was dying slowly from kidney failure we often added organic sweet potatoes to his food to increase his calories-- he loved it. Back then we gave him canned, but now we have a fresher option. Spooky would have loved Maddy's Organics.

Touch Of Scent is a quaint little Candle Factory & Gift Shop located in a historical town by the sea in Lewes, Delaware. Their candles and bath & body products are made by hand from start to finish using quality ingredients. The most special thing, in my mind, is that they offer memorial candles for companions whose pets have died.
