Our Why

At CatnipTakeout, our purpose and mission is to create joyful connections between cats and their humans.

We believe in the power of play to strengthen bonds, inspire happiness, and foster a sense of community among cat lovers. Every toy is designed to make cats feel loved and to bring a smile to the faces of their owners.

By making playtime special, we hope to add a bit of extra joy and color to the world—one purr at a time.

How we do it

We combine creativity, quality, and community focus in everything we do.

Our toys are handcrafted, filled
with aromatic catnip that cats adore.

Each toy is made with a sense
of fun, often featuring food themes or playful patterns, and is packaged in our iconic takeout boxes.

We’re dedicated to supporting
local shelters and regularly donate toys, volunteer, and give back to the community that has supported us since our beginnings.

How It Started

The funny thing is, I never set out to start a business.

I traded in my spreadsheets for the purrs and creating foodie inspired toys for cats—a transition that gave me a refreshing balance between creativity and community.   

My former colleges lovingly refer to me as the  "Math Nerd" to "Nip" Tender.
