Cards-from the World of Shop Annapolis Cats

Let's build a community that believes in kindness, creativity, and joy!

Welcome to the small but mighty movement to bring more joy into the world, one encouraging word at a time. I'm Thistle, one of the Shop Annapolis Cats, and I believe in the quiet power of kindness. 

We've created a special greeting card you can send to someone who brings light into your life. It's more than just a card-it's a celebration of those who make the world better, simply by being themselves. Pass it on to someone who's lifted your spirits, brightened your day, or made life a little sweeter. Let them know how much they mean to you.

Every card features one of the Shop Annapolis Cats (and a clever mouse!)

What is the Shop Annapolis Cats Card Project?

At Shop Annapolis Cats, we're on a mission to spread joy, beauty, and a touch of magic-starting right here in Annapolis. Through books, art, and handmade storytelling, our characters (ten cats and a very clever mouse!) work together to build a better world by supporting creativity and historic preservation. 

This card project is one way we invite you to be part of that world. Every card shares a piece of our story-and gives you a chance to create one of your own. 

Why Kindness? Why Now? 

Research shows that acts of kindness significantly boost happiness and well-being - emotionally, psychologically, and even physically. The benefits grow over time, especially when kindness is intentional, frequent, and shared with others. When you send a card like this, you're not just making someone's day-you're creating a ripple effect of joy and connection. It's a great way to build a strong community, which is especially important for the United States of America now.
