Treat your tough kitty to this groovy Binky. Skulls and hearts on a background of green and finished with jingle bells securely sewn in one corner. Made of cotton and with the reverse side a swirly design in black. This Binky is Tiger size.
But what is a Binky?
A Binky is a special toy/blanket filled with catnip that will drive your kitty wild! Just open it, add the nip, and shake it up. This toy will provide you with endless entertainment and your kitty with euphoric bliss. And you can refill them with fresh nip when needed. You may find that your kitty will spend their day playing, sleeping, wrestling, and odd enough, licking on it.
Each Binky is made with new cotton or cotton/linen fabrics. We use groovy, rare, imported, and some times out of print fabrics to make each Binky unique. Natural cotton batting is used for padding to make them snugly soft and it is sewn in to prevent bunching. There is a separate compartment with a velcro opening for the catnip….. this makes it easy to refill them with fresh nip and to wash. A bag of organic catnip is included to start the fun without delay.
We make 2 sizes of Binky’s….(size may vary a bit)
TIGER – Around 15″ x 14 1/2″ for full grown cats
CUB – Around 12 1/2″ x 11 1/2″ for kittens
Your package is shipped usually within 2 business days after your payment is received.
USA buyers… Your package will be shipped by USPS Priority Mail
International buyers… Your package is shipped by First Class Mail. Please read our profile for more information on shipping.
We combine items shipped to one address….. please read our store policies.
Binkys….Cats love ‘em! Humans dig ‘em!

It’s Meow or Never Animal Rescue & Sanctuary
http://www.itsmeowornever.org
It’s Meow or Never Animal Rescue & Sanctuary, a 501(c)(3) organization, was founded by Madonna and actor/model Michael in 2003. As active cat-rescuers, Michael and Madonna have successfully trapped, altered, and released hundreds of cats – usually those in cat colonies made up of ferals and strays.
They both believe that cat rescue is not a hobby, but more a responsibility not to be taken lightly. Both Madonna and Michael have dedicated much of their spare time caring for homeless cats, funding food and medical care out of pocket.
Through vital donations to It’s Now or Never Animal Rescue & Sanctuary, Madonna and her team of dedicated volunteers are able to care for more animals. They soon hope to purchase land and build a facility to provide expanded rescue services to the animals in dire need.
EFC Team donated $30.00 to It’s Meow Or Never Animal Rescue & Sanctuary in June.
In June, EFC individual members donated
$100 to Breastcancer.org
$ 50 to Planned Parenthood
