The Kindle and Kennel Mission:

I’ve helped feed, fix and care for many stray and feral cats. But being a renter is limiting and ultimately heartbreaking. There is only so much one can do when you don’t own property. That is why I developed Kindle and Kennel.

I've brought over 25 years of woodworking experience and 40 years of art making to the table in order to create handcrafted furnishings for your own fur babies. The Kindle and Kennel line will offer unique limited series pieces with fun themes. And the best part, every penny in profit will go towards the building of an animal sanctuary.

I know I have a long road ahead of me, but I’m determined to continue producing this line until I can offer a permanent home to any and all strays that show up at my door.

Continuing on with my garden theme, this is in honor of two skunks, Kitty and Kat. They show up in the garden with the strays hoping to score cat food.

This cattle feeder cat bed is made of plywood and has a drawer for storage.

I couldn't resist this one. It was so fitting for this series. "Head to Toe Beans" in black dressed with "Gardners Spend All Day In Their Beds" inserts. Lots of hand stitched felt cat toys and this awesome watercolor fabric pattern.

New website should be live sometime next month.

More gardening theme on this natural finish bed. I made lots of garden veggie cat toys to go with this series. Little miss Lola is in the last picture doing her quality control test.

For all my garden loving cat people out there, this theme is for you! The "Head to Toe Beans" base bed is featured here in white with these "Sometimes I Wet My Plants" inserts.
These insert panels have a lot of hand-painted metallics that unfortunately don't photograph well.

If you love cats but don’t have one and want to support Kindle and Kennel, these little babies are for you.

These tiny cats are slip trailed ceramic. No 2 are alike. Each cat comes with a tiny replica of a “Head to Toe Beans” bed.

I used to sell jewelry in my early twenties long before art school. I will always have a love for making it.

These porcelain pendants are stung on silver plated necklaces. I made over 50 of them. Each one is a unique combination of texture, shape, color and icon.

On my search for panel designs I came across these and couldn’t resist them. They didn’t quite fit with any of my bed theming so I turned them in to ornaments for big cat [humans] gifts.

These annoyed eggs cracked me up the entire time I made them. It was so much fun making each one have their own special expression. These make great big cat (humans) gifts!

I love making felt fruits and vegetables. I think they are my favorite thing to hand stitch.

I think these mollusks are my favorite of all the seafood themed cat toys. I’ve stitched in tiny pockets to make the catnip refillable.

I find it super annoying that most other catnip cat toys have catnip stitched into them because eventually it grows stale and the toy loses its catnippy-ness 😂. Not on my watch 😉

These lobsters are on the larger size and have squeakers in them. They were a complicated sew but I’m happy with the way they turned out.

Who’s ready for a picnic? The rats On-We and Off-We from the cheese factory seem to be.

This kitchen island is inspired by my favorite baking show, The Great British Bake-off. It comes with lots of active play elements for fur babies.
It’s featured here with the baking utensils fitted sheet but can swap it out for any sheet.

This was the first themed bed I made and it’s still my favorite. This lobster trap cat bed is inspired by my east coast childhood. All the cat toys are hand stitched felt. The lobster has a squeaker, buoys have bells and the mollusks have refillable catnip pockets. (Seaweed is just a garnish 😉🤣)

When I finished hand painting the panels for this one, I realized that I captured my 3 babies without thinking. 😂 Keeping them properly hydrated this crazy summer sure has been a challenge.
