Yesterday, Ann and I were thrilled to announce our launch on Kickstarter to bring our Pootie Pad business to the next level. The goal is to raise funds for a website update, advertising, and for the materials and time it takes to make a stock of goods to meet increased demand for our quilted herb-filled pads. We have three weeks to achieve this — and after our first day, we are about 10% there. Not bad! But we have a ways to go...
HERE IS THE LINK FOR THE POOTIE PAD KICKSTARTER!
Here is my plea… Anyone who has bought Pootie Pads, whether for cats, dogs, or a lavender pad or quilt for themselves, would you please sign up on Kickstarter, make a pledge (I think as little as a dollar will do it but of course any amount to help us reach our goal is deeply appreciated!) and leave a testimonial in the comment section. The way Kickstarter works, you can’t leave a comment without being a backer. It will help us immensely to have a good showing of backers and a populated comment section.
If you have already pledged, THANK YOU! Please come back to our Kickstarter page and comment!
And of course, please share our campaign with your circle of contacts. As I said yesterday:
- Shout it to the rooftops to people who want to buy well-made, maker/artisan products, made in America.
- Tell people who will be delighted to help two mature women make a wonderful business in what has been a hard economy
- Know someone connected with an animal shelter or rescue organization? We would be especially glad for the introduction because Pootie Pads are very soothing to animals in transition from shelter to forever home — and where cats are concerned, Pootie Pads are a super effective attractant in a humane trap, too!
- Tell your family, friends, and neighbors! Tweet, Facebook, and share widely! Have them share with their networks!
- And remember, although the primary purpose of the Kickstarter is to Kickstart our business, there are rewards of Pootie Pads for different levels of giving. Think forward to the holidays! Pootie Pads make terrific gifts.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I know that with our friends we can make this goal!
