About Us

Who Are We?

Cat-Hoy is a new handicrafts brand co-founded by Riley Padillo, Sairi Ie, Jacobo Ledesma, and Chad Gumboc. We specialize in specially handmade wooden products that Gen Z buyers will especially love, while adhering to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Our current focus is cat-themed trinkets (anik-aniks) and wooden planters. Our designs are 100% original!

The name Cat-Hoy is a play on the words cat and the Tagalog for wood, kahoy.
