Oh, what we’d do to be children again.

All of that imagination inside those little tiny minds, we’re bound to make some of the weirdest and most amazing creations even when earned with nothing but a couple of crayons and pieces of paper. But, of course, we can’t exactly hold these creations of ours. The most that can happen to them is they’ll be hung up on our walls or fridges for a couple of days and weeks before they’re taken down and replaced with another one, until, eventually, you forget to make these drawings altogether.

It’s a very sad and real transition that every kid goes to.

But, what if we could turn those colorful creations into something real and concrete? Like, for example, a real-life plush toy that a child can hold and sleep with?

That’s the idea that Alex Furmansky has when he founded Budsie kids’ toys back in 2013. After seeing his younger sister’s scary monster drawings and how she took care of her plush animals, he decided to try and turn his little sister’s drawings into a real-life animal friend, and what do you know? It actually worked.

From the very first Budsie, a dog-like creature named Dongler, Budsies has turned kids’ drawings into a reality.

This plushie was created by Maximillian, as a special way to commemorate his mother. This is his story – ⠀ ✨ ⠀ "My mom passed away on her birthday July 20th, 2018. Since then I need ways to help me grieve and found that making a plushie to take with me that had her ashes in it would ease some pain. She wanted to go on trips with me and visit all sorts of places when she was alive. So now I can bring [her] with me everywhere. I designed an image of what I knew she'd love, with little characters all over it representing things she was attracted to; birds, dragons, owls, etc. Even its colors were taken from what ones she had me paint her bedroom years ago. Now when I bring her with me, everyone notices that big warm smile, and sometimes find it hard not to stare and its brightness. That's what my mum did, she filled people with joy! And I vowed to continue her legacy as best I can in her honor. By showing that life can be and feel happy if you believe it to be. You can handle anything. You got this. I was her SONshine that helped her even when days seemed cloudy, but mum was always my rock, my everything, and always will be. Keep striving, keep being you, keep loving yourself and others, keep pushing forward!!!"✨✨✨⠀ Create your own Budsie today at Budsies.com ⠀ Link ➡ in bio⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ #Budsies #plushartist #plushdolls #plushdoll #plushcollection #artwork_daily #artwork_support #artworkfeatures #artwork_artist #artworking #artworkers #momson #momstatus #momstuff #plushy #plushielife #plushielove #plushiefriends #plushiemail #plushiecommunity #plushiesoninstagram #plushietravel #plushieslife #plushes #plushieofinstagram #plushiescommunity #customstuffedanimal #artworktolife #oc

Hoonie, a 16-year-old cat, has experienced many changes in his life lately but one thing remained constant, his beloved stuffed animal is still at his side.

Hoonie’s owner recently died, leaving the adorable cat without a home. The owner’s daughter took Hoonie in at first, but unluckily, she and her son are allergic to cats so they couldn’t keep him. Hoonie and his favorite stuffed toy were brought to the shelter, in need of a loving home.

The shelter was run by Alley Cat Rescue in Maryland. The senior cat is currently doing well but still adjusting to the new environment, according to Brianna Grant, the communications associate at the shelter. His toy is his greatest comfort. “We’ve never seen a cat that is so attached to a stuffed animal,” Grant told The Dodo. “It really seems to be his support system.”

Hoonie spends his time with his stuffed cat, he sleeps and cuddles with it all the time. “It’s been a long-time companion,” Grant explained. “She [the owner’s daughter] sent us photos of Hoonie roughhousing with the stuffed animal, so I think Hoonie has a lot of fun with the stuffed animal and seems so attached to it. He’s been in the cage just cuddling next to it, and it seems to really help him out.”

The staff are hoping the old cat will find a new home since he loves attention from people. “He’s a huge talker,” Grant added. “It’s very sweet. When he’s lonely, he’ll let you know. You’ll hear him from a room away. But once you go and hang out with him, he just gets silent and hangs out next to you, and he seems so content just to have people by his side.”

“He is a senior cat in the last stages of his life, so I think people have a hard time dealing with the idea of adopting a cat and making a connection, just for the cat to pass away. But I’m sure that whoever gets him and adopts him will have a great few years with him. He’s such a sweetheart.”

When Hoonie was adopted again, his toy tagged along with him. “We couldn’t separate the two,” Grant said. “They’re a package — two for one.”
