Now comes the fun part!
over 10 years ago – Tue, Dec 15, 2015 at 08:34:19 PM

We made it! We can't thank you enough for your support and for sharing in our vision for the future of pet travel. We're excited to shift our focus back to production and to making the Hatch Pet Carrier the best carrier ever made. We believe in this product and in the needs it addresses, and it's heartwarming to see that belief validated by your support. 

We’ll be in touch with project status and specifics soon, but for now, we just want to say THANK YOU! And, as always, if anyone has any questions, comments, or suggestions, please reach out -- we love hearing from you! 

Best wishes for a wonderful holiday season, 

Your friends at Hatch

An exclusive offer for our backers at the finish!

• Lifetime discount for the first Hatch Pet Carrier owners! As a special thank you for our very first customers, backers pledging for one or more pet carriers (pledges at the $116+ level and up) will be entitled to a lifetime discount of 10% off all future Hatch products and purchases. Hatch sales / discounts will be rare, so this will be a very exclusive and significant benefit only for our Kickstarter supporters. There’s still time to pledge (tell your friends!) or upgrade to a carrier to qualify for this one-time opportunity!
• We're in early stages of a very exciting partnership with Music for Cats. David Teie, a brilliant composer and a cellist in the National Symphony Orchestra for over twenty years, has created music that enriches cats’ lives (backed by science)! We are excited to partner with someone who shares our passion for improving the lives of companion animals (Music for Dogs is a future project). His amazing Kickstarter campaign just wrapped up, but you can learn more about his product here (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/355308040/music-for-cats-0/), and click on the blue button to get in on the pre-ordering!
• Interested in being a Hatch product tester? We’d like to invite a few of our backers who have more…rambunctious animals to test our latest prototypes for durability and portal function. If you are interested in becoming an official product tester, please email us at [email protected].
• Consider adopting Chloe and Wink. The wonderful and entertaining kittens in our video are still available for adoption (each sister has one damaged eye from a past illness, making them a little harder to place). Jon just visited them again today -- they are still as sweet, loving, and fun as ever! They are healthy, spayed, and fully up-to-date on their vaccinations. If you are in the New York City area and are that special soul ready to open your home to this wonderful pair, please contact us and we will connect you with Symphony Vet.

98...99...100% and beyond!

• Funding goal reached! Thanks to all our wonderful backers, we crossed our funding goal and are pushing upwards and onwards! We can't thank you enough for supporting and believing in our product and being part of this revolution in pet travel!
• Only nine days left to pre-order a Hatch! 
• Still on track to deliver in Spring. We're keeping on track with our timeline and the prototypes are looking great! We are committed to delivering you a superior, one-of-a-kind product. The initial inspiration for the Hatch Pet Carrier was Jon's love for his beloved tabby, Junior, and we know that as pet parents, you are always looking for ways to make your pets' lives better. We are so grateful to our backers who have entrusted the safety and comfort of their animals to Hatch for Pets and we are dedicated to honoring that trust.

Getting So Close!
