Launch Party Recap

PARTY ANIMALS
Kittens, pooches, and cupcakes! It was just last week that we kicked off the launching of Fox & Feline. Thank you to everyone who came out, our sponsors and Ahead Of The Pack for having us. If you missed out on the fun, take a look at our party highlights! If you loved our raffle items but didn't win, the items are linked so you can check them out online! 

The Fox & Feline launch party was a packed house. Barrington TNR participated in the party with three adorable kittens (one is still adoptable!) make their adoption debut. Nevermind the other festivities, these little kitties were the biggest hit. 

This is my only party dress, of course it's a cat dress. I'm also wearing the Dalmatian Necklace we had up for raffle by Basil The Cat. When I saw the item in person I just had to have it. It's a beautiful piece of jewelry and for a great cause! Our table of goodies was jam-packed for our pet lovers. Our dog favors were Squirrel Chaser biscuits from BW Barkery. They are organic and baked in the USA, so if your dog loved them - no guilt to get more.....

Gluten free carrot cake cupcakes were provided by the amazing bakers at Posh Pop Bakeshop. They were gone sooo fast. They were absolutely adorable. The logo on the cupcakes was a surprise! The Posh Pop Bakeshop local in Haddonfield, NJ features fresh gluten free desserts and baked goods.

Posh Pop also made dog treats! They said it was a first for them but we certainly had no complaints from the hounds. Look at Sophie gobbling it up, I thought her eyes were going to pop out. For the two- legged attendees we also had Zingers from Miller's Ale House, in Mount Laurel, NJ - one of their signature dishes. 

Okay, now onto the prizes! There were some VERY lucky pets and people at the party. If you were a winner and haven't done so already, send us a picture at [email protected] - We want to see you or your pet with your prize and any feedback about the wonderful items.

Plush Pup is the place for pet duvet covers. The Teal Gemini pattern was up for grabs. You can cover an old bed, insert a new one, or fill with whatever tickles your fancy! I was shocked at how heavy the cover is, its made with Sunbrella fabric, which is super luxe and durable. A super cute Collar & Bow Tie was the fun accessory at the party. BW Barkery has all kinds of fun accessories for dogs and cats. (plus treats!) 

Ding Dog, a local leash and collar artisan is now featuring bull hide items. I love the blue! They come in just about every color for leashes and collars in super bright hues. Bull hide is soft on the hands but durable, the thick leashes are great for larger dogs. The little collar and leash set was won by Chub Chub who was in our pet trick contest!

Cat decor is a must for cat lovers, so I was thrilled that we had two cat door toppers from Country Timber Creations. They are all made locally here in NJ, the duo there really knows how to add that touch of pet flare. The Willing Hearts Dalmatian Pendant by Basil The Cat was a beautiful addition. I really love this necklace and although most of her work is only one-of-a-kind, she does multiples of this piece since its for a dalmatian rescue.

I'm not sure how, but Kaylee the artist and owner at The Feline Boutique somehow captured my girl Momo on her "Go Away Racerback" . I guess there are many Momo's out in the cat world. The mean cats need love too! She does traditional printing in fabulous cat designs. Next to this mean kitty was the All Natural Dog. A popular item for both cat and dog lovers that had almost the most raffles. This bed is a sleep in style, it has a fleece pocket for your pet to cozy into. Bonus - made in the USA, all organic and washable! 

We had two personalized items up for raffle, one modern and one classic. Helen Clark, a renowned wildlife artists from the UK was offering a custom pet portrait. Her art work is jaw dropping! She captures every little hair, I swear! This was the most sought after raffle item at the party. I can't wait to post a follow up of the final piece from Helen. The Purple Pear, who specializes in the spectrum of modern art, gave away a custom wall art; personalized with your pet's name, favorite color and silhouette. The "I <3 My Tabby" is my favorite from her collection, although we all know - you can't have just one tabby! That would be silly...

Dr Lisa Aumiller, DVM owner of House Paws was our Pet Party Trick Contest Judge. We asked everyone to do their best doggie "party trick". I think most of the dogs were more interested in just partying without doing a trick though!
