I live in Maine, and those hats look purrrrfect to keep my head warm on icy cold winter days!

I would love to win……would be great to wear when feeding my colonies or volunteering during TNR clinics.
Super cute!!!!

Love ‘em! Just my style! The Internet filter at work is blocking me out, but I’ll see if I can get on the site elsewhere. I’d like the leopard print if there’s a choice. If I buy and win, it will still be great to have an extra to give out as an Xmas present to one of my fellow cataholics.
October 16th, 2012 at 10:11 am
Super cute! Would make a purrfect gift for my cold weather friend!
October 16th, 2012 at 10:12 am
Oh those are fabulous!! I would love any of the dark brown styles. So cute! And I love that this shop is in Grand Rapids — my college town.
Thanks!!

Love it love it, want one, please.
October 16th, 2012 at 10:14 am
Way cool!
October 16th, 2012 at 10:15 am
I’d love a black or black and white one! The tipped ear would give me a great chance to talk about TNR!
October 16th, 2012 at 10:16 am
Love the hat and love what it stands for.
October 16th, 2012 at 10:17 am
The one with the calico ears. I typically get the children’s size.
October 16th, 2012 at 10:17 am
How creative! I would love to give this hat to my girlfriend who maintains a feral colony – lovingly, I might add! She would just love it and would wear it all the time during our Denver winters!
October 16th, 2012 at 10:17 am
Wow, these are awesome!!! It doesn’t get super cold in Los Angeles but I would still wear it
It’s a great conversation starter too! Many people are not aware of what of what TNR is.

First of all, I am so sorry for your loss. Theo was a beautiful kitty and he looked so sweet in his pictures. I know how hard it is to lose one of the family and my thoughts are with you. I DO believe we’ll all be together with our fur children over the rainbow bridge one day.
I would love to add any of these darling hats to my hat collection. I’m a cancer/kidney transplant survivor and thanks to all the treatments and medications I have very little hair so I wear a hat every day. How appropriate this one would be for me, cat lover that I am. My husband and I love cats so much that our small business is named for one of my rescues, Munchie who lived to be 23 years old.

Cute hat and a great cause!
October 16th, 2012 at 10:20 am
My heart goes out to all the feral cats especially now winter is coming. Love the idea and the ear. I just trapped another baby and have her and she is doing great. She is also gray with stripes like Theo.
October 16th, 2012 at 10:22 am
Cute hats!
October 16th, 2012 at 10:23 am
Right on Kate. I’m a huge supporter of TNR myself, being the caretaker of a small colony. Condolences on Theo
October 16th, 2012 at 10:23 am
These are adorable! Would love to win
October 16th, 2012 at 10:24 am
Such a cute hat! I love the notched ear!!
October 16th, 2012 at 10:24 am
This is one hat I would absolutely feel comfortable wearing. Thanks so much for the chance.
October 16th, 2012 at 10:24 am
This hat is so darn cute!! Love the tipped ear. I would wear it proudly!!
October 16th, 2012 at 10:24 am
These look so cute! I’d pick one that looks closest to my cat’s coat color and pattern so we could match
October 16th, 2012 at 10:24 am
Four of my cats are tipped so I would fit right in at home.
October 16th, 2012 at 10:24 am
Kate so sorry to hear of Theo’s passing. What a lovely tribute to him.
October 16th, 2012 at 10:26 am
What a great idea! I would love one of these hats. All of my cats were stray/feral/dumped at one time.
October 16th, 2012 at 10:28 am
oh gosh, that’s adorable!
October 16th, 2012 at 10:29 am
these are so cute! i would match my sweet little boy, Benson
October 16th, 2012 at 10:29 am
We just rescued 2 feral kittens. I fed them all summer and now they are coming to us and we are going to keep them, get them shots and get them spayed and neutered.
October 16th, 2012 at 10:30 am
I loved your piece about Uncle Theo. My Bubba also came from a “feral” colony at the ripe old age of about two years old. Everyone said feral cats cannot be socialized; well, Bubba will prove them wrong. Colonies that are cared for by loving humans produce easily socializable cats. And I would love to walk Bubba while wearing one of these hats (white, to match the cat).
October 16th, 2012 at 10:31 am
I forgot to add, that today is my birthday and the cat-ears hat would make a particularly nice gift
October 16th, 2012 at 10:31 am
Love the hats and the purpose! The tipped ear is perfect…
October 16th, 2012 at 10:31 am
My rescued white kitty Medic might appreciate seeing mama cat with same clippped ears.
These are adorable!
October 16th, 2012 at 10:32 am
These are adorable! thanks for the chance to win one. Kudos to Catnip Hill for donating to ACA.
October 16th, 2012 at 10:35 am
These are awesome! And perfect for a feral cat lover!
October 16th, 2012 at 10:35 am
Love it! I’m a big TNR advocate and semi-active in some TNR programs here. I would definitely wear this.
October 16th, 2012 at 10:35 am
I love the look of these hats!!! Going on my Christmas list for sure.
October 16th, 2012 at 10:38 am
what a fab way to remember theo with these hats !!
I tip my hat to you , well i hope to tip my clipped left ear hat to you
October 16th, 2012 at 10:39 am
SO cute. Looks so cozy.
October 16th, 2012 at 10:40 am
I’m deeply sorry for your loss, as I’m sure Theo was loved as though he was one of your children.
These hats are absolutely adorable & look quite stylish as well. I sure would love to wear one during the upcoming winter months. Unfortunately finances are limited this year. So if I’m not lucky enough to win, I’ve bookmarked http://www.etsy.com/shop/CatnipHill to perhaps purchase one of these beautiful hats next winter. If I am lucky to ever receive one, I’ll definitely wear this hat with pride & love in my heart for all feral & house cats! <3 <3 <3.
RIP Theo
October 16th, 2012 at 10:40 am

October 16th, 2012 at 10:40 am
Oh the CUTE! I’d wear it every day.
October 16th, 2012 at 10:41 am
Gorgeous! I’d love to have one and wear it proudly:)=^..^=
October 16th, 2012 at 10:43 am
How cute, I can’t choose a favorite because they’re all so nice!
October 16th, 2012 at 10:43 am
I am very sorry for your loss! Poor Theo. =(
I am a feral cat caregiver & several of my 5 girls are former ferals who warmed up quickly when I began feeding them.
I would love to win this fabulous hat!
Thank you for sending out the msg about feral cats!
October 16th, 2012 at 10:44 am

October 16th, 2012 at 10:45 am
