Therapists Love Percy
“Mental wellbeing doesn’t begin and end in a therapist’s office. It’s something we build — moment by moment — in the real world, all day, every day. With over a decade of experience supporting individuals and families navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, and autism, I’ve seen firsthand how crucial it is to have consistent, accessible support beyond the clinical setting.
Percy offers just that — calming comfort for people managing life’s challenges."

Who's Percy Perfect For? Everyone.
Feel Grounded. Feel Safe. Feel Better.
You Deserve Peace, Even on Chaotic Days.
Percy is loved by adults who crave comfort in a noisy, demanding world. Whether it's short-term stress or the persistent weight of chronic anxiety, Percy is your calming companion—always ready to bring you back to balance.
Support for Neurodiverse needs.
For those living with ADHD or Autism, Percy offers multi-sensory grounding. Ultra-soft fur calms touch sensitivities, natural clay beads provide a gentle, rhythmic rustle, and his soothing weight offers the deep pressure relief that helps melt away overstimulation.
Sacred Sleep, Finally Within Reach.
If your nights are filled with tossing, turning, or tension, Percy helps send a powerful signal to your nervous system: it's safe to let go. Warm, weighted, and deeply comforting—Percy creates the perfect conditions for restful, restorative sleep.
“Percy has a great weight to him. I’m an adult but suffer with extreme anxiety. I hold him or simply rub his ear and it ends what was the beginning of a panic attack. I love this guy and highly recommend him for children and adults! ❤️”
-Sarah W.

Percy's Built Differently
Every detail has been considered when it comes to Percy. Right down to where his weights are placed to optimize maximum support.
Double Duty
Percy's made with durability in mind. His body seams includes two rows of stitching for lots and lots of hugs.
It's in the Bag
The unscented clay beads used to add weight to Percy are in dedicated bags in all four paws and his body.
Mimics a Hug
The weight in Percy has been intentionally distributed in five places to ensure when you're holding Percy it feels just like a hug.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Percy come with a warranty?
Yes! With anything you order from For the Cubs, Percy comes with Percy's Promise. If you don't love Percy, just return your order for free within 30 days for a full refund.
What age is Percy suitable for?
Percy is suitable for ages 0+. However, we ALWAYS recommend Percy is used under adult supervision and with common sense. Common sense includes but is not limited to: Never leaving Percy in a crib with a sleeping baby/toddler or placing Percy on a child that cannot lift Percy on their own.
Percy's intended use is for hugs and snuggles only. Percy should not be thrown at people, other objects, or in the air. This may limit Percy's durability.
How big is Percy?
Percy is 15 inches tall and 11 inches at his widest point.
How do I heat Percy?
Place dry, room temperature Percy on his back with all paws folded on top of his body, into a clean microwave.
NOTE: If your Percy wears a bow tie, remove this first before heating!
Heat in 15 second bursts and check temperature.
Heat for no more than 90 seconds total. Longer warming times may cause outer fabric to ignite.
Beads may continue warming after being removed from microwave.
Only adults should heat Percy.
How do I clean Percy?
Spot clean Percy with a soft cloth, warm water and mild soap. Allow to dry completely before use.
How do I cool Percy?
Place Percy in a clean ziplock bag. Pop him in the freezer until cold.
When will Percy be delivered?
We do everything we can to get Percy to you as quickly as possible and process orders every day. You'll be sent a shipping confirmation once your order has been fulfilled so you can track it.
What type of filling is used in Percy?
Percy's weight is made of natural clay beads that are unscented. The other type of filling that's used in Percy to make him so cuddly is called polyfil and found in most stuffed toys.
Are there any allergens in Percy's stuffing?
Percy's interior filling is hypoallergenic.
Is Percy durable for extended use?
Yes, if you follow the care & use guide provided, you'll get to enjoy Percy for a long time! We use premium fur and double seam stitching on his body so he can give lots and lots of hugs!

Who said we need 8-12 hugs a day?
Virginia Satir is a well-known family therapist who is frequently quoted for making this statement.
Why do you help kids in foster care and not another cause?
Our founder is a foster mom and has seen first hand, the importance of helping kids in foster care feel a sense of belonging when everything in their life feels so uncertain for them.
While we can't fix the system, helping kids in foster care know there are people out there that want to support them in some small way can make a really big difference.
How do you help kids in foster care?
We've teamed up with One Simple Wish to support kids in foster care. Every quarter our founder grants wishes on our customers behalf on the One Simple Wish platform. Each customer will get an update on how their order made a difference by sharing the wishes that were granted.
Meet the Founder
Hi, I'm Amy, founder of For the Cubs. I've spent years exhausted with anxiety, depression, and ADHD—feeling physically sick despite outward success, taking hours to complete simple tasks, and finding myself burnt out and exhausted, too tired to enjoy the simplest things.
Through years of personal trial and error, I discovered that alongside conventional treatment, what helped me through my hardest days was something as simple as a hug. And when I learned we need 8-12 hugs a day for emotional well-being when I was training to be a foster parent, I designed Percy to help myself and others get in their daily calming hugs.
