Feral Friends: Underloved and Underappreciated Animals

Everyone loves dogs. Everyone loves cats. Pandas get entire conservation programs named after them. But what about the opossum, who has been eating ticks and playing dead since the Cretaceous period and gets zero credit? What about the raccoon, who has figured out how to open your trash can, your car door, and probably your heart if you'd just give her a chance? What about the snail, who carries her home on her back and has never once complained about it?

This collection is for the people who see the underdog — or the under-skunk, the under-possum, the under-scorpion — and feel a deep kinship. The animals here are not conventionally beloved. They are better than that. They are feral, they are resilient, and they are extremely giftable.

GetBullish originals anchor the collection with our "Nice Racc" raccoon line — tees, sweatshirts, mugs, stickers, and pins celebrating the trash panda in all her glory. BlueQ brings the skunky zipper pouches and raccoon oven mitts. Ephemera handles the refrigerator-based appreciation for nocturnal creatures and general filth. Primitives by Kathy delivers the wooden signs for the skunk and raccoon enthusiast's home. Wild Republic provides the stuffed animals for opossum, skunk, meerkat, mantis, and scorpion fans. Archie McPhee brings the possum and snail air fresheners, because of course they do. Rachel O's adds the handmade skunk, snail, and possum fabric earrings. Pipsticks covers the sticker packs for the otter and raccoon crowd.
