Etsy for Animals Top Santa Paws’ Really, Really Nice List
UPDATE: I apologize, the enormous (and fabulous) slideshow is broken. It was fabulous, I swear. Meanwhile, you can find out more about these artists and their fine work at Etsy for Animals!
Over 200 artists at Etsy for Animals were honored today by being chosen to be on Santa’s highly coveted Really Really Really Nice List.
The search for the honorees came to an end when after Santa Paws, Mrs. Paws and Santa’s Little Helpers gathered round the monitor, piping hot cocoa in one paw and cookies in the other, discovered the compassionate artists with great big squeezable hearts who help animals in need with their generous support of charitable work .
The artists chosen custom make every toy individually with love, chock full of handcrafted adorableness to bring happiness to kitties and doggies everywhere.
As nearly every item is hand-made to order especially for you, most may be customized in some special way just for your kitty and doggy to love. And that is the true meaning of Christmas, making the lives of animals, all animals, a little brighter one kindness at a time.

How generous of you to spotlight Team EFA. As an EFA member, I know how rewarding it is to be asaociated with mutual animal lovers and to know that all of us, no matter how small or large, are helping creatures on this earth. I cannot imagine a nicer group of artists, I cannot imagine a better cause to support, and I cannot imagine a better way to be recognized than to have these wonderful artists you have chosen, to be featured. Thank you!

I am still in awe of the amazing work you people do, as artists and humanitarians. I found so many wonderful artists, I found it nearly impossible to pick only a few examples of your work. I will do features of individual artists work and their stories in the future.

No, thank you! Santa Paws was really scratching his noggin’ about who to put on his Really Really Really Nice List until he found Etsy for Animals. Santa, always a softy for a wonderful cause, particularly when there is lots of cute and healthy hand-made goodness involved for animals and the people who love them, thought the best part of all was, that these wonderful artists not only generously donate a portion of every sale to support animal charities, but in their private lives they are deeply committed to charitable work of their own to help make the world a better place for animals. Santa knew he need look no further, because he had found what he had been searching for – the nicest people in the world.

What a neat idea! Great stuff too.
Mollie Morrissette
OMG, this is only the tip of the iceberg too! Soooo much cute and all healthy, natural, upcycled goodness. No shit from China for our fur babies, no way! I LOVE what these people do. Honestly, everything is so affordable too! I don’t know how they make any money! Bless their hearts. They deserve all the support in the world!
