Keep the look that made them yours
Cats often have subtle markings: the stripe beside an eye, a white chin, a tiny dark nose. Choose a photograph where those details are visible. A face at their eye level usually gives a more recognisable portrait than a picture looking down at the top of their head.
We make a fine-line interpretation of your own photo, not a generic breed silhouette. You see and check it in a free preview before buying.
A keepsake for their favourite sunny spot
- Standing keepsake: an A5 portrait plaque with its own folded foot, easy to place beside a photograph on a shelf.
- Round keepsake: their picture fills a 7 inch disc, with their name and dates set small. A small wooden easel stand, made by us, is included.
- Garden stake: a stainless steel portrait and inscription beside a plant or in a quiet border. The indoor keepsakes are not intended for outdoor use.
A few words, rather than everything
“Our little patch of sunshine”, “Loved on your own terms” and “Your chair is still your chair” remember different sides of a cat. Choose tenderness, humour or just their name: none is more correct than another.
Use a short line on the standing keepsake or garden stake. The round plaque keeps the words to the name and dates around the picture. Longer memories can stay on a card beside the plaque.
For a friend who has lost a cat
A portrait keepsake is personal, so check which photo and name the recipient would choose. A quiet message asking for a favourite photo is usually kinder than guessing. The preview can come to you and delivery can go to them when you order.
Avoid assuming they want a replacement pet, or that they should be feeling better by a particular date. A simple “I remember how much they meant to you” is enough.
