Allcatsgood Brand Story: Crafted by Hand, Inspired by Cat

More Than Just a Pet Accessory—It’s Family

If you’re here, you probably feel the same way I do: your cat isn't just a pet—they’re family. And for many years, I’ve believed that our feline companions deserve gear that reflects that deep bond: gear that is safe, incredibly comfortable, built to last, and undeniably stylish.

My name is Hanna, and I am the founder of Allcatsgood. Our story is intensely personal, born out of necessity and a love for all things feline. It’s a journey that led me to create a brand focused exclusively on cats, where every single item, from a cozy raincoat to an upcycled leather harness, is crafted by expert hands.

I invite you to step behind the scenes and discover how my personal quest for the perfect cat gear evolved into Allcatsgood.

 

The Spark – My Cat, Anfisa, and a Market Gap

Meet My Muse: Anfisa, The Cat Who Started It All

I’ve loved cats since childhood. But the real adventure began 15 years ago when my husband and I started traveling with our beloved feline, Anfisa. She is my muse, my model, and my 15-year-old quality control expert!

As a young cat parent who loved to travel, I quickly hit a frustrating roadblock:

"I couldn't find a single cat harness that was truly comfortable, secure, and stylish. Everything seemed designed for dogs, or it was just flimsy. The market lacked sophisticated gear made specifically with a cat’s needs in mind."

The solution, I decided, was to make it myself. I started small, crafting the very first prototype: a tweed vest harness for Anfisa, designed for maximum safety and comfort, complete with those fun, detachable wings. Friends and fellow cat owners took notice. The initial spark quickly turned into a mission.

My Mission is Clear: To make walks and travels with your cat safe, enjoyable, and stylish, and to empower cat owners everywhere to embrace outdoor time with their felines.

Our Five Core Values

Every sketch, every fabric choice, and every stitch at Allcatsgood is guided by the philosophy that Cat Is Family. Our foundation rests on:

  1. Safety: Non-negotiable, with reliable, high-grade hardware.

  2. Comfort: Anatomically designed to honor a cat's flexibility.

  3. Quality: Investing in materials and craftsmanship that last for years.

  4. Design: Unique, eye-catching, and functional aesthetics.

  5. Personal Touch: Treating your cat's specific needs with customization.

 

The Allcatsgood Difference – Engineered for Felines

I am obsessed with the details of cat anatomy. A cat’s body is a marvel of flexibility—they can squirm out of almost anything! That’s why my designs are fundamentally different from dog accessories.

Why Our Cat Gear Fits Best

  • Feline-Specific Construction: I design all my patterns to accommodate a cat's unique movement and prevent pressure points. This ensures the harness or raincoat is secure without restricting their natural flow.

  • The Anti-Static Secret: This is a crucial detail I learned early on! To prevent the annoying and uncomfortable build-up of static electricity, I use a 100% cotton lining in all our harnesses and raincoats. It’s a small detail, but it makes a huge difference in your cat’s comfort.

  • Best-in-Class Hardware: I insist on using only durable, high-grade Velcro and robust fasteners to ensure a secure, escape-proof fit.

  • Personalization is Key: I know not all cats are created equal. If your cat has unique or unusual measurements, we offer a customization service to guarantee a flawless, comfortable fit.

 

From My Sketchbook to Your Home – The Handmade Magic

When you buy from Allcatsgood, you're not just getting gear, you’re investing in something special that’s been ethically crafted with serious care—a process that often takes months!

Quality You Can Feel (And Eco-Friendly, Too!)

I personally hand-select every material based on its quality, durability, and ethics.

  • Premium & Tough: We use high-performance fabrics like sturdy tweeds, waterproof coatings, and Cordura to make sure our gear lasts through countless adventures.

  • Our Upcycling Commitment: I’m big on sustainability! For our leather items, we actually use high-quality upcycled leather from salvaged goods. That means we never use new leather. It’s our small way of helping the planet while giving beautiful materials a fantastic second life!

The 6-Month Test: Vetted by Cats

New product development isn't fast here—it can take anywhere from 2 to 6 months! Why? Because I refuse to compromise on your cat's safety or comfort.

Anfisa is testing clothing prototypes during the pattern development process.
  1. The Spark: It starts with a new idea from me or a great suggestion from one of you!

  2. The Anfisa Trial: I draft the pattern, sew the first prototype, and then it’s time for my sweet girl, Anfisa, to step in! She’s the chief tester. We check the fit, adjust the seams, and make sure she can move perfectly.

  3. Field Testing: For complex items (like our raincoats), I send samples to friends with different breeds for real-world testing. They send me photos and feedback, and we keep tweaking until every detail is perfect.

Only when I’m 100% happy with the safety, comfort, and style does the product get photographed and offered to you! That's the beauty of handmade — it means uncompromising quality control.

Meet My Small, Dedicated Team

Allcatsgood is truly a labor of love, maintained by a small group of experts:

  • Me, Hanna: I handle the creative vision, design, patterns, website, customer service, and photography. During busy times, I even sew many of the orders myself, particularly the hats and smaller items.

  • Iryna, Our Master Seamstress: Iryna is our rock. With 25 years of experience, she is responsible for stitching the majority of our complex orders. Her dedication to quality and flawless craftsmanship is what guarantees the durability of every item.

  • Seasonal Helpers: During busy periods, 2-3 additional local, talented seamstresses join us, ensuring we maintain our strict quality standards while meeting demand.

Why Handmade? It’s the only way I can ensure the highest quality of stitching, offer our unique customization options, and maintain my obsessive attention to every tiny detail.

Crafting Comfort for Your Journey

The Allcatsgood brand is my passion project, a fulfillment of a personal need, and a commitment to quality that I share with my small, amazing team. We are not a mass-production brand. We are artisans crafting premium, ethical, and stylish gear so you can confidently share the adventure of life with your favorite feline.

When you purchase from Allcatsgood, you are supporting handmade quality, ethical practices, and a brand founded on the simple, powerful idea that your cat deserves the very best.

I look forward to seeing your cat in our gear!
