Our Story

At Take Paws, our journey began with two very special cats—Matcha and Poke—who are not just pets, but beloved members of our family. Like many cat parents, we cherish every playful moment and quiet cuddle with them. But our story took a challenging turn when Poke fell gravely ill with Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), a devastating diagnosis for any cat owner.

Refusing to give up, we fought tirelessly to save her, navigating an exhausting and emotional treatment process that included experimental medications and countless sleepless nights. Against the odds, Poke pulled through, showing us just how resilient and full of life our feline friends can be. That experience deepened our love for cats and inspired us to create a brand dedicated to their happiness and well-being.

With our brand Pounce & Purr, we set out to design toys that do more than entertain. Our products are meticulously designed in California and crafted with love and care. We offer thoughtfully crafted plush toys, infused with catnip and silvervine, to captivate your cat’s attention and stimulate their senses. Each toy is designed with Matcha and Poke’s playful personalities in mind, ensuring they are not only entertaining but also promote active play and mental engagement.

At Take Paws, we believe every cat deserves a life enriched with adventure and joy, and we’re honored to share that mission with cat lovers like you. Thank you for letting us be part of your story—and for being part of ours.
