“Nap time, not cage time” mug by STM Studio | Charity mug for animal lovers

Show your support with the “Nap time, not cage time” mug designed by STM Studio! Your purchase will go directly towards redeveloping a struggling animal shelter in Borneo, and building a better life for the hundreds of cats and dogs in their care.

This design, “Nap time, not cage time,” celebrates the peaceful future we wish for the dogs and cats of Borneo shelters - one filled with comfort, safety, and love. Gentle colours and soft, flowing shapes express a warm, hopeful world where every animal can rest freely and happily. A broken cage bar in the corner symbolises their journey from confinement to care and freedom.

About the charity

80% of profits from our Art for Animals collection go straight to the charity IAPWA - International Aid for the Protection and Welfare of Animals, with the remaining profits going to our participating artists.

IAPWA is a UK-registered animal welfare charity (Charity No. 1137532) providing a critical lifeline for animals around the world. Through our projects and partnerships we deliver treatment, support and long-term change for animals who need us.

This year’s Art for Animals is directly supporting our Borneo shelter crisis appeal. Your purchase will help us clean up this shelter in need, neuter the animals, and lay the foundations for a brighter future for hundreds of cats and dogs there.
