Payment Plans!!!
12 months ago – Thu, Mar 27, 2025 at 12:06:22 PM

Hi everyone! We got a very important question and decided it needed its own update!!!

“Will you be offering (or wilI you consider offering) stretch pay for folks backing at higher tiers? It might make those higher stretch goals achievable, where some folks may not be able to commit to hundreds in one go.”

The short answer is YES!!

We will be offering any payment plan services that BackerKit supports!!!

However, you will not get your plushies until the full amount is paid!!!

Most people should get their plushies on time since production is several months long, but we wanted to let everyone know now!!!

Salem the Sleepy Service Puppy is UNLOCKED!! We are in shock and awe that we’ve reached $20,000 in funding!!!

To celebrate, we are holding a poll to see who will be unlocked NEXT!!! 

We’ve had so many requests and questions about the Critters and wanted y’all to make the next choice since everyone is so excited about the characters!!!!!

We can’t wait to see who gets unlocked at $24,000- we’re already so close!!!!

Hi Cuddle Cove fam!!

We have the final look for Porsha the Service Puppy!! She is ready for all of your snuggles! What do you think?

We are SO hype for the last weeks of the campaign! We are SO close to Salem and Poppy! If you haven't pledged already, pledging now helps us unlock goals QUICKER! I have a really great feeling we can still unlock several more characters before the end of the campaign!

Exciting news!! We got the first look of our emotional support jacket back today!! I don't think we have any changes to make personally, it came out so good on the first try!! Do you have any suggestions or changes we should ask for?

Note, that these will fit all Critters except for the Sleepy Service Puppies. These will also only be available in pink for now. We may bring other colors if they are popular enough!!

We are SOOOO close to unlocking Salem the service puppy! Just a touch over $1,000. I know we got this!! We can't lose momentum now!
