Our fluffy mission: Alpacas for better mental health!
Many people ask us: Why alpacas, anyway? Sure – they're cute, they graze the pastures, and they bring joy to Instagram. But the real answer runs deeper: For us, our alpacas are much more than animals – they are our source of strength, our so-called skills.
Alpacas as animals for the heart and relaxation: Support for mental health
For many years, we ourselves have lived with mental illnesses such as depression and borderline. Therapies, medication, and hospital stays are part of our daily lives.
About eight years ago, we stumbled upon a small herd of alpacas – and that moment changed everything. These fluffy companions helped us find stability, feel calm, and steer our lives onto a more positive path, step by step.
Today, they are an integral part of our daily lives – a source of structure, laughter, and hope. Especially in dark times, they give us moments that sustain us.
Alpaca products for a good cause: Our Mental Health Collection
Our alpacas should not only help us, but also others. Under the motto "Heartwarmers for everyone", we have offered free alpaca walks for people with mental illnesses or disabilities and collect donations for mental health projects.
A portion of these donations comes from our Mental Health Collection in the online shop: We donate 20% (sometimes 50%) of the proceeds to organizations that promote education and acceptance. We have already been able to donate €1,200 and around 850 alpaca stress balls to clinics and institutions – including the Robert Enke Foundation and BKH Lohr.
In the future, we want to reach even more people and also encourage other alpaca owners to offer free encounters with alpacas for those affected.
The love for alpacas and our desire to help
For us, helping is part of our identity – even in difficult phases. Small gestures like a lovingly packaged alpaca gift give meaning and support. Our initiative is small, but honest and driven by the desire to do good in a small way.
To all who feel lost: You are not alone. Behind you are our alpacas and many people who understand you. There is hope.
