About your custom pet figurine
The patch on just one cheek, the uneven stripes across the face—you know your cat’s markings by heart. We study your photos as we carve and hand-paint your custom cat figurine, paying attention to the differences on each side. We look closely at their eyes, too: the wide pupils or narrow slits in your chosen photo, and the small painted highlights that give them their familiar look.
Tell us about the pose you love: sitting to greet you, stretching after a nap, or striking a funny, almost human pose. We’ll listen to what makes that moment feel like your cat. If you haven’t caught it on camera, we can use your other photos and description to work out the design together.
We carve each custom cat statue from a single block of linden wood. To us, wood is a reminder of a bond that lasts. On a desk or shelf at home, that familiar little face can stay part of your day—a keepsake of the life you share, or of a cat you miss.

What to expect from a handmade portrait
Each figurine is an artistic interpretation of your pet, with attention to recognizable features and posture. Fine details are adapted to the figurine’s small scale, rather than reproduced exactly as they appear in a photograph.
You may notice natural wood grain, subtle carving marks, or small variations in shape and painted finish. These are part of the piece’s handmade character.
Please note: Because each figurine is individually made for you, it cannot be canceled or refunded once production has begun. Refund details
