Cats Love Cuddles and Comfort, THIS Cat Loves Cat Beds from Coccolino Creations!

One of the many joys of being a pet blogger are the people that  I am lucky enough to meet along this wild and wacky journey. The talent that so many of them possess is mind-boggling. I can barely keep up with two blogs, and there are so many talented bloggers who have a myriad of interests that many have turned into lucrative ventures. Today I am thrilled to introduce you to one of them, many of you already know her!

I have been reading the charming blog Coccolino My Mini Pet Pig for quite some time, and find his adventures to be entertaining, humorous and delightful! One day recently I was reading, and learned that Coccolino's Mom, (Katie), was opening her own shop on Etsy, and she was showcasing the most adorable cat beds there!

See for yourself:

From Coccolino Creations "We are huge animal lovers and we want to help them all and since that is impossible we are taking a percentage of the proceeds of EVERY sale to put towards pet beds and pet blankets that we will make and donate. Your purchase will help animal shelter pets be comfortable too."

These beds are MACHINE WASHABLE on GENTLE CYCLE on COLD, TUMBLE DRY LOW and just FLUFF UP!!

I fell completely in love with these beds and contacted Katie and asked if she would be interested in being featured on our blog. To my complete and utter joy, she accepted!

Tonight, while reading the description of her shop, I realized it was only fitting that Cody  was featuring her on his blog!  Read this excerpt about her shop and then I will tell you why:

"Coccolino” means “little cuddlebug” in Italian and is also the name of our mischievous but irresistible pet mini pig. Coccolino is the cuddliest pet we have ever had (we’ve had them all!). He would cuddle – and eat – all day long if he could.

With him in mind, we have named our pet shop Coccolino Creations because we want to emphasize that we hand make every item to be as cuddly as possible for your pet.

We make items for all kinds of pets: pet pigs, dogs, cats, rabbits, etc. We strive to make your pet comfy and warm and we hope our pet products bring you abundant cuddles."

When I adopted Cody, his foster mother referred to him as being a "little cuddlebug" and our Vet also has called him the same thing many times since. To this day, Cody is MY "little cuddlebug". It was meant to be that we feature Coccolino's Mom!

Working with Katie was a complete joy. We emailed back and forth, she sent me fabric swatches to choose from and the entire process was a breeze. Then, Cody's bed arrived!

It arrived beautifully wrapped with a charming card and had information about the bed. When I removed the bed from the packaging I was taken with the superb craftsmanship, attention to detail, the SOFTNESS, OH THE SOFTNESS! (It made ME want to curl up and go to sleep on it!!) Want to hear one of the BEST parts about this bed? It is REVERSIBLE!!!!! There are TWO DIFFERENT SIDES!!

THE BLUE SIDE

Cody found a sunpuddle and began making biscuits, this bed brought out the ULTIMATE sign of CONTENTMENT!!!

I think one of the reasons Cody LOVES this bed is it is reminiscent of his "donut" that he brought with him from his Foster home. This is thicker MUCH thicker than that, but with the lower sides, I think Cody is being taken back to his kittenhood and is loving every minute of it! He loved his old donut bed that he outgrew years ago.

NOW THE GRAY SIDE!!

Bed prices range from $25-$46, depending on the size of the cat, dog (or even a mini pet pig!) 

Cody LOVES the kitties all over the side of the bed!

From Coccolino Creations:

The best thing I have done so far is to make dozens of pet beds that I have donated to Lollypop Farm, a local animal shelter. My goal was - and still is - to continue making beds for these caged pets so they can use them as a source of comfort and hopefully take with them to their forever home.

For each item I sell, a percentage of the proceeds will go towards material for the shelter beds I make and donate. My philosophy is that every pet should have the chance to be cozy and warm, a lesson that Coccolino has taught me.

My goal in opening this shop is to sell the pet beds and pet blankets that I truly take pride in making and also give back to those shelter animals. I love the creativity I can embrace and I love to imagine bringing warmth and happiness to the lucky pet using them.

Thank you for taking a look and thank you for considering us for your pet. We know you have many choices and we know it's an important one.

Pets are part of the family and we hope your family will consider ours with our Coccolino cuddle beds and cuddle blankets!

Katie tries to add new products almost daily, she often hosts give-aways and promotions and LOVES her customers nearly as much as she loves Coccolino!! (Well, maybe not THAT much! Kidding!!) She is also happy to work with you to create a custom project or gift.

Katie also likes to spoil her customers with BONUS SURPRISES every now and then. Check out the bonus surprise that she gave to our boy Dakota!!!

A DOG BONE TOY!!!

That was such a surprise and so incredibly thoughtful! Toy prices are on average about $5-$7. Dakota's has a "squeaker" in it and he has had this toy for a couple of weeks now and it is still there!

As a  treat for our readers, Katie is offering a special 15% OFF DISCOUNT CODE!!  The code is Cody15 and will be valid until MARCH 11th. ALSO: THERE WILL BE A "TOKEN OF APPRECIATION" for the FIRST FIVE PEOPLE who purchase either a BED or a BLANKET!! Click here to visit her shop now!

Now, if you will excuse me, Cody wants to take a nap....

Thank you for my PAWTASTIC BED!! I LOVE IT!!!!!

 Love, Cody

Angelina's Avenue Online Pet Shop-Guest Feature

FROM CAT CHAT-Hi every furry it's Cody! While Mom is recovering from yet another lithotripsy for her kidney stones, I wanted to show you some adorable pet beds. I wanted to completely disclose that I did not receive a bed, so rather than this being a REVIEW, Mom and I agreed to allow Angelina to appear as a guest. We cannot give an honest assessment of the products, not having used them, but we think they are completely ADORABLE!

All About Comfort

  

 
Angelina’s Avenue online pet shop was founded in October of 2012. I wanted to start a small business that I could run myself, making high quality products that would last unlike what you’d find at a big box store. 



I love creating for pets with modest to luxurious tastes.  All of our products are sold at competitive prices and filled with 100% recyclable/non-allergenic stuffing.  And for more convenience our beds are machine washable!



As we all know, cats spend 2/3 of their days sleeping and are in desperate need of comfort.

  

One of our customers told us:

“It took my cat Lilac all of about 4 hours to fall in love with her new bed. She is almost 11 years old and needed a cozy and comfy bed. It is so soft!”


We offer two different styles of beds, and blankets too!  

Catered more towards curling up and sleeping comfort is our oval shaped beds.  They have bolstered sides that allow for any cat to curl up next to and have a soft and warm nights sleep.

Our other style cat bed doubles as a cat bed/decorative floor pillow.  I know personally I spent a lot of time looking for a bed that my pet would love but would look cute in my home as well.  I believe our flower shaped bed suits both my needs!

All of our beds come in a variety of different soft blizzard fleece fabric designs to accommodate every home.



For our more luxurious cats we’ve created faux fur pet blankets, made from the highest quality faux fur. 


Purina says “Inside or outside your bedroom, it may also be possible to calm cats down by providing them with an alternative source of comfort, like a warm blanket.”

 

Featured below is our blizzard fleece/faux fur tiger cat print blanket.

We hope you’ll come check out our shop at www.Etsy.com/Shop/AngelinasAvenue or like us on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/AngelinasAvenue

.

 As a special treat we’re offering a limited time 10% off coupon with the code 10OFFAVE at checkout valid until March 30, 2013.

  

We hope your cats love our products! MEOW!
