Hi! 👋 I thought it was about time for a “meet the maker” post for those of you who I haven’t met yet! My name is Kelsi and I crochet cute toys that cats are obsessed with. My partner, Aaron stuffs toys, ships packages, helps run the booth at markets, and generally helps me out with anything I need. Qira and Bruno are our supervisors 🥰

We love when adventurous cats stop by the market! Last weekend we were blessed by a handsome orange boy named Einstein who went home with a new bow tie and ice cream catnip toy. Enjoy, Einstein, and thanks for coming to visit us! 💕

I spent a little time hanging out with this guy before I left work last night. Kitten season is in full swing and lots of little ones like Batman are waiting to be adopted in shelters across the country!
Some of you might know that my day job is working full time at an animal shelter, and this little cat toy business actually started as a fundraiser. A few years ago, I made pumpkin toys for the shelter to give away as an incentive for people to make a donation, and we kept running out! People loved them and asked me if I made other toys and where they could buy them. And so Brighter Sides was born 😸
Now I sell toys online and at the Fremont Sunday Market and donate a portion of the proceeds to animal shelters. I love seeing the delight on people’s faces when one of the toys catches their eye, and my favorite part is seeing how happy the toys make the kitties who receive them (seriously, send me your photos and videos, it makes my day!!) But the root of it is and always has been helping kitties like Batman 💕
Thank MEW to everyone who came out to @fremontsundaymarket last weekend! We’ll be back on 5/19 with more goodies for your cats. In the meantime, you can shop online using the link in our profile!
This isn’t the first time someone has bought one of our catnip toys and their kitty helped themself before it even came out of the bag 😹 The nip is just that good! Thanks @reishi.moon.tina for sharing this video!
Bruno is one of our official product testers, and he rates this one an A+ for durability! He’d also like you to know that even though they are made for cats, little dogs like him love them too!
Come see us at @fremontsundaymarket today! 10% of the days sales will be donated to @seattleareafelinerescue 😻
#Bluecat is making a guest appearance at the office today and he says I’m not allowed to stop petting him.
This post is long overdue, but I’d like to introduce you to our office foster cat, Marge! The sweet and beautiful lady is staying with us while she waits to find the right home. She’s on a weight loss and exercise plan, as she was nearly 30 pounds when she arrived. We’re making sure that she loses weight in a slow and safe way and gets lots and lots of chin scritches! You can see some more of her antics at @seattleareafelinerescue 💕
I went to visit my friend @veganfindsusa a couple of weeks ago and her cat Ducky was being a great model 😸 I think they’ve had this Sprinkle Donut Cat Toy for about a year, and still love it.
