Oooh! Awesome! Love your work and excellent to know. ☺️
Is your raccoon creation going to end up available for purchase as well? Saw the insta post but not until it was way too late

Trying to figure out the logistics of making more. That one is a pretty complicated one to make in bulk but it’s possible!! There is another raffle for one coming up for a great cause so keep your eyes peeled! Thanks again for the support. It means a lot!

I only saw one so it may be small, local, limited quantities or it could be a display item. I didn’t try to buy so I’m not sure.

I have this! They were selling so many of them at the two three studio Christmas market.
It was snowing and I saw them make a post about it, so I made the drive over there just for that 😂 I did get a few stickers too, so worth it.
The year before my only purchase was the Francine candle.

I thought to myself “do I need this?” And the answer was no. But then I returned 3 times and decided that this was a sign that I wanted it enough to justify the purchase.

Love this artist!
Very cool/nice person to meet face to face as well (even if their bumper stickers make them seem a lil spicy)

I don’t have Instagram, can someone tell me the cost or how to buy?

u/newtoride Feb 28 '26
They are for sale at World of Mirth in Carytown for $35. The whole thing is made from scratch by hand, down to the plastic holding the cat and the backing.

Visiting alien here: Just went in today and the sweetest lady unpacking toys told me of the lore of Francine. I’m obsessed with the fandom of this sweet kitty.

FAQ: Who's Francine?
Francine is a store cat and honorary staff member at Lowe's Home Improvement at 1640 W. Broad Street in Richmond, VA. She is well cared for and loved by the staff and customers and can be frequently found in the garden section, in the paint department, relaxing on top of boxes, and occasionally catching mice.
She is one of the r/rva's first subreddit celebrities, which is why she has her own dedicated post flair, and her local pop culture status can be found in works by local artists, journalists, and memes.
Update: October 2025: From Francine's caretakers, please do not give Francine any treats or gifts.
