For the cat who chose you.
A quiet memorial for a cat — painted-style canvas, three-draft eulogy, and a tribute page. From one photo and your stories. £99.
Cats hold a particular place in the house — the chair they called theirs, the sunlit patch they always found, the specific shelf from which they surveyed things. A cat memorial isn't a loud grief. It's the quiet kind: a keepsake for the corner of the day they used to occupy.
What's included
- Canvas portrait — 30 × 40cm matte canvas, in a warm 19th-century oil-painting style drawn from your photo. We work with any coat pattern — tortoiseshell, tabby, point, black, white, calico — and the canvas captures the face rather than standardising it.
- Written eulogy — three drafts, different registers, chosen from the stories you tell us. Cats aren't easy to eulogise without cliché; we avoid the clichés.
- Tribute page — hosted for a year, shareable or passcode-private.
Specific, not general
What makes a cat memorial land isn't the overall shape of their life — it's the specific detail. The particular meow they used when the tin opener came out. The way they knocked exactly one object off the table and then looked you in the eye. The spot they hid when the door knocked. Our intake asks for that kind of detail — five short prompts, skip whichever don't suit.
The eulogy drafts and the tribute narrative are built around what you share. They won't read as a template because they aren't one.
For old cats and young ones
We've made memorials for elder cats who saw three decades of the same family, and for kittens whose lives were too short. Either way, the intake is the same, and so is the care. Any age, any breed, any temperament.
For a gift
You can commission a cat memorial on behalf of someone else — ship to their address, canvas arrives unbranded. A thoughtful thing to send a friend who's quietly gone quiet.
How delivery works
Eulogy and tribute page: within a day. Canvas: 3–7 working days in the UK, slightly longer internationally. Delivery estimates shown before you pay.
And for the wider household
Three things people often add to a cat memorial: a framed canvas instead of the slim-stretcher version (from £109, ready to hang); a hardcover Memoir photobook with every photograph and story you've shared (£79, 28 pages, printed once); and a pack of sympathy cards for the vet and the small number of people who noticed the cat was part of your daily life (£29). The Keepsake bundle at £219 packages them all together with the Essential.
Any coat, same quiet hand.
