Natural Felt Mouse
Your cat is sure to adore this little mouse handmade in Mongolia. What better toy to entertain your cat with
than a mouse toy which was hand-crafted by Mongolian herders. Your cat will adore this toy with the aroma of catnip and natural lanolin oils
that cats LOVE, while its purchase helps to save the beautiful snow leopard. Available in a variety of Naturally-Dyed Colors. Approximately 3"
in length.
Editor note: Our cats love this toy so much, we haven't seen it in weeks. (Somebody hid it really well!) If your cat has enjoyed
toys like the Tossabout Cat Toy or other wool-based toys, they will certainly dig this one.
 With your purchase of these adorable cat toy mice, you are supporting herders who live throughout the remote regions
of Mongolia, helping them get the much needed food, medicines and clothing for their families that they haven't been able to afford. As part
of the program, these empowered participants work together to help in the conservation of snow leopards in their region, making a huge difference
in the survival of this species.
What do Snow Leopards have to do with Wool?
There are as few as 3,500 snow leopards remaining in the wild. These beautiful cats share the vast, rugged mountains of Asia
with communities who depend upon small herds of sheep, goats, yaks and camels for a living.
Many of these families survive on less than a dollar a day. Snow leopards are hunted in retaliation for attacking families'
precious domestic livestock, and their pelts and bones can also be sold for much-needed cash to passing traders.
By buying wool products directly from herders, the Snow Leopard Trust
is providing these communities with opportunities to increase their income by up to 40%. To participate, communities negotiate and sign
agreements to help with specific conservation projects to protect snow leopards and key wild prey species.
Money for the handcrafted products is paid directly to the people who produce them (99% are women) and is used to buy
medicines, purchase fruit and vegetables and send children to school.
The end results of this successful program are a higher quality of life for families, safer snow leopards, greater respect
for women and a healthier environment!
