Today we are featuring the Teddy Bear who loves to hang around with his big brother. They do everything together, from climbing trees, to eating honey, to going swimming in the river. The fact that the Teddy Bear is crocheted and his brother is not doesn't stop them from being the best of friends. They know that it doesn't matter what you look like; what matters is what's on the inside.

Say hello to this kitty! She loves taking long, mid-day naps in any patch of sunlight she can find. She also loves playing with toys and scratching those long claws. After a wonderful meal, you can find her curled up under the covers with a mug of hot milk and her favorite TV show. She also loves reading, and has a big stack of to-be-read books on her nightstand. Being cozy is how she loves to spend her time!

Today we are featuring the striped bear! He is the first creature made in 2017. He absolutely loves to live in the here and the now, and because of this he spends lots of time with friends. His favorite thing to do in his free time is go to amusement parks and ride the ferris wheel.

Interviewer (I): Thank you so much for joining us today!

Bear (B): It is my pleasure!

I: So what do you think makes you unique?

B: As you can see, I am very colorful. I am made out of 6 different colors, and there is no end to my colorfulness! I am not your average teddy bear.

I: What do you like the most about kids?

B: I love their creativity and their imagination. When kids play with me I feel like I could become anything. I feel like the possibilities for my new life are endless.

I: What kind of home are you looking for?

B: A home where I can just be loved endlessly, played with a lot, and cherished for a long time. Maybe my kid will even hand me off to their children someday! I want to be able to bring someone joy and color, and I hope that the same kid will bring me happiness as well.

I: Those are all the questions I have for you today, but thanks again for taking the time to be interviewed and the best of luck to you as you start your next journey of donation.

First off, we at Creatures for Care would like to apologize for the fact that we have not posted on the blog since January. We have had very busy schedules, and trying to find time to post on the blog was hard. But we are working on it, and hopefully you will see more blog posts in the future!

Today we are featuring the lion. He loves to sunbathe out on the rocks of the Savannah, and hide in the tall grasses as he stalks his pray.

Interviewer (I): Why do you think it is important to give to people who have less than you?

Lion (L): It is important to realize that there are others who are less fortunate than us, who may just need a smile to brighten up their day, or something more. No matter what they need, if you find yourself in the position to help them, what's stopping you from making their life a little easier?

I: What is the difference between a Creature for Care and any other stuffed animal you could buy?

L: A Creature for Care was made with love and care. The girls who took the time to make us carefully crocheted or knitted every single stitch, and they make sure that every creature is well done so they will not fall apart, and they give each creature character so they can truly make a child happy. That is something you won't find in any other stuffed animal.

I: Lastly, every handmade creature cannot be as perfect as a factory-made stuffed animal. Do you think this is a good quality, or a bad quality?

L: Having animals with imperfections teaches kids to love who they are, despite their flaws. They might see a creature with a slightly lopsided face, or one arm higher than the other, and love the animal anyway, teaching them to love themselves no matter what.

I: Thank you for your time today, and I hope you get donated soon!

L: Me, too!

Today we are featuring the polar bear, who lives in the North Pole. She frolics around on the ice all day with her cubs and goes for long swims in the frigid ocean. But due to global warming, this polar bear's home is disappearing quickly.

Interviewer (I): What is your favorite characteristic about yourself?

Polar Bear (PB): I like that my fur is so soft and thick, and that I am easy to cuddle. You can wrap your arms around me and you never want to let go.

I: Why do you want to be donated?

PB: I want to be donated because I want to make someone happy. Whenever I make someone happy, it makes me feel happy, and the feeling is generated inside of me for the rest of the day. Being happy is one of life's greatest gifts. I also am very bored with my life right now. I just sit around all day with my friends. Sometimes there's small talk, but most of the time we are silent, waiting to be donated. I wish I could be be hugged by a kid.

I: How long have you been waiting to be donated?

PB: It feels like forever, but it was probably about a year or so. It is sad because lots of times, the girls donate the newer creatures who have been in the bags for a short time, like a couple of months. I wish they would consider how long some of us have been waiting in the bag and take the older stuffed animals instead of the new ones.

I: Which of the CFC are you most attached to?

PB: My best friends so far are the lobster and the puffer fish. The puffer fish was donated to New Generation, but he was always so considerate and put everyone before himself. The lobster sits next to me in our bag. He has a great sense of humor, and can make me laugh any day, especially when the hours seem to drag on.

I: Thank you for your time today. Let's hope that our polar bear friend and all of the older CFC can find a place to be donated soon.

Today, we are featuring the bunny, who loves hopping around the woods and visiting his furry animal friends. Once a year, he helps his friend, a bunny you all may know, deliver eggs to the children.

Interviewer (I): What makes you, as an individual,
unique?

Bunny (B): Not a lot of bunnies are purple and blue, like I am. I like having different colored fur instead of being just plain brown or black.

I: Why do you love children?

B: Because they are little bundles of joy. They always have smiles on their faces and are in a good mood.

I: What is your favorite part about being a stuffed animal?

B: My favorite part is being a kid's best friend. Knowing I will always be right there for them and that they will always be right there for me is something more powerful than any force in the world.

I: Thank you for your time today!

B: It was my pleasure! Happy Easter and Passover!

Today we are featuring the kangaroo, who lives on the Outback of Australia. She enjoys hopping around all day. From her high vantage points, she has a great view of the city. Our interviewers asked her what it was like to be made.

Interviewer (I): In what specific order were you made?

Kangaroo (K): First my body, then my pouch. Next my head and face, then finally my tail, ears, legs and arms. It felt pretty strange without them, let me just say!

I: Was there ever a point where you got to watch a part of your body being made?

K: I actually witnessed my arms tail, and ears being made. It was kind of cool because my tail was a funny-looking tube until it was sewn on and stuffed.

I: What does it feel like to have something sewn onto you?

K: At first it was a pretty weird sensation, but I eventually got used to it. It sort of feels like there is something stuck in you and you can't get it out. Anyone who's had stitches can relate to this, except it's not as painful, I'm guessing.

I: Thanks for joining us today!
