Who We Are...
Comfort for Critters is a social entrepreneurship that donates handmade pet blankets to shelters across the US and sells e-books to help you make your own pet blanket! We're "in business" to help homeless pets!
All net proceeds from book sales go to ship our free handmade blankets to 400+ animal shelters in every US state! These blankets are made by our amazing volunteers, and you're welcome to join the team!
While homeless pets await adoption, the blankets provide a comfortable bed year-round. When they are adopted, their blanket goes with them, providing something familiar as they adjust to their "forever family."
Together we're making a difference to animal shelters & pets!

Support our mission with the purchase of our pattern books: Crochet for Critters & Crochet for Your Comfort. Each book has 30 crochet patterns that are perfect for pet blankets. They also tell the story of CFC and why crafting helps the crafter along with the pet! Every purchase keeps us going and keeps us shipping our free blankets!

buy a crochet book to Help us ship our blankets
Linda, CFC's founder, is the author of two books on CFC's history, the animal sheltering industry, and how crafting can comfort the crafter (in addition to the pet!).
Both books also include 30 fun & easy crochet patterns to make pet blankets for shelters or your own pet!
Sales keep CFC in business, with net proceeds going to ship the free blankets our volunteers make for animal shelters across the US.
