Bringing Comfort and Joy to Every Child in Foster Care on the Gulf Coast

At Cuddle Critter, our mission is simple: to bring a little extra comfort, joy, and love to the incredible kids in foster care throughout the Gulf Coast. We believe that every child deserves to feel special, especially on their birthday or during the holiday season. That’s why we provide each child in foster care with a Cuddle Critter Build-A-Critter Kit, a heartfelt gift designed to offer emotional support and a tangible reminder that they are cherished.

​

Our Build-A-Critter Kits allow children to create their very own cuddle buddy—a soft, huggable critter they can call their own. Each kit includes all the materials needed to create a one-of-a-kind plush friend, as well as a card with a personalized message to remind them that they are loved and thought of. Whether it’s for a birthday or Christmas, these kits provide a moment of joy and creativity, helping kids to feel comforted, empowered, and a little less alone.​​

It’s a chance for them to experience the joy of making something special with their own hands, fostering a sense of pride and accomplishment. Each critter becomes a personal companion—a reminder that no matter where they are or what they’re going through, they are loved.

​
