Cat Memorial Gifts

When a cat dies, the small spaces they occupied can feel different. The chair they chose, the place where they slept, the sound of them coming into a room. Some people want a picture or a few words to keep nearby. Others would rather wait.

If you are looking for a cat memorial gift, these are a few ways to remember them. You can keep the details simple. A name, a familiar picture or a sound you have saved may be enough.

A portrait of the cat you knew

The Personalised Pet Portrait Print makes a portrait from your own photo, with the cat's name beneath. You can add a short line if you wish, such as their years or a nickname. Colours, lettering and setting can be chosen on the product page.

Look through the pictures you already have. A clear photo that shows their face may be a place to start, but the one that feels most like them matters too. It might be a picture taken at home, in a favourite spot. Take time to look at the preview and check the name before ordering.

If you do not have a suitable photo, the design also offers a library of breeds and pets. You can look for the nearest match and decide if it feels right. There is no need to use it if you would rather wait for a photograph.

A sound kept as a picture

If you have an audio recording of their purr, the soundwave print can draw the shape of that sound. Listen to the recording first and choose the part you want to keep. Your browser reads the audio on your device; the recording is not uploaded.

The wave itself is a picture of the sound. It does not contain the recording. Keep the original recording somewhere safe if you want to hear it again. A few words beneath the image can be as short as their name.

A record of their place at home

The Personalised Pet Official Records Print includes an adoption certificate and an official record. It has a portrait from the design library and space for details you enter. You could choose a name and a few details that feel right to you.

The certificate may suit someone who wants to remember when their cat came home. The record offers another way to gather details on a page. Look at the design before deciding; its formal style will not suit everyone. You can leave this idea aside if a portrait feels more fitting.

Giving it to someone

A memorial can feel very personal. If you are not sure a friend would want one, ask someone close to them or give them the choice. A short note can simply say you are thinking of them. They may prefer to open it privately or choose where to put it themselves.

Choosing a place for it

The portrait, soundwave and record are offered as posters or framed prints. Check the sizes and frame options on each product page. A smaller picture may fit beside a favourite photograph; a poster leaves the choice of frame to the person receiving it.

You do not need an occasion to make something for yourself. If you are remembering a dog, our dog memorial gift guide has more ideas, including help with choosing a photo.
