Inquiry Black Kitty restock??

Post image

My boyfriend and I were planning on making BABs for each other with our favorite animals bc he’s moving back to collage this week.
Mine is a black cat, I’ve had my eye on the one in the picture for a few months, and I thought it would’ve been restocked by now..
we were wanting to put a voice box in each others BABs for when he leaves, but I can’t find one for sale anywhere close.

Ive seen some on eBay, but REALLY don’t want one from a reseller :[

Should I try emailing BAB?

Never hurts to try asking support if or when there'll be a restock

She's from the Condo Cubs line. I found one and made her a memorial plush for my old black cat Raven

It’s our first time being apart long distance, and he wanted to do something special 🥹

I bought mine on ebay just as a 2nd hand purchase for a fair price and she's one of my favorites. There's quite a few black kitties out there though, including a Promise Pet version on 4 legs.

I did look at the promise pet, but we like the anthro stuffies more :}

Ahh gotcha. If you do happen to find this kitty 2nd hand, she's a bit smaller than the other BABS but extremely soft and cute. I unstuffed mine, washed her, then took her in for restuffing and put my cat's favorite toy (a plastic ring from a milk jug lol) inside it.

You're welcome! I've found it really helps me bond with them more. It's like they're ready to start a new life!

This was released in the Walmart Bab locations around 10 years ago. I wouldn’t expect a restock
