Hello friends, family, and kind strangers,
We’re reaching out for your help as we take on one of the biggest challenges—and biggest dreams—of our lives.
Last year, my husband suffered a severe injury that ended his career in IT. After months of painful recovery, we tried starting our first company from scratch to rebuild. But despite working long days and nights, it ultimately failed, leaving us with no savings and no money left to fall back on.
Now we’re facing the very real possibility of losing our place to stay. It’s been incredibly hard. But we’re not giving up. Instead, we’re channeling everything we have into building something positive and lasting.
We’re launching Purrinting Cats, a small business built around creativity, self-expression, and community.
I’m bringing my vision of creating unique, meaningful apparel and accessories to life—items that let people truly express themselves. My husband is turning his lifelong love of 3D printing into one-of-a-kind products that can’t be found anywhere else.
Purrinting Cats isn’t just a store. It’s our dream to create a haven for the misfits, the dreamers, the creatives, and the outcasts—anyone who feels like the big brands don’t speak to them. We want to make items that shine a light on the idea that no matter how small you are, you matter.
Your support will help us:
✅ Buy essential materials, tools, and supplies for 3D printing, apparel, and accessories
✅ Cover basic costs to launch, market, and run our online store
✅ Build a sustainable, independent business that offers something truly different and meaningful
This is about more than making a living. Our goal is to build something that gives back. We want Purrinting Cats to grow into a brand that not only celebrates individuality but supports local artists, makers, and our wider community.
Please note: We are not offering any raffles, sweepstakes, giveaways, or promotions in exchange for donations. Your support is a gift, and we’re deeply grateful for it.
Even if you can’t give financially, sharing our story helps more than you know. Every kind act—whether a donation, a share, or a few words of encouragement—brings us closer to making this dream real.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in small creators, in second chances, and in the power of community.
❤️ Ernesto and Gina Vergne
Founders of Purrinting Cats
