In Loving Memory Cat Portrait

A cat angel portrait in the In Loving Memory style shows your cat looking upward through pale blue and white clouds, with a soft gold halo above her, white lilies and blue forget-me-nots around the edges, and her name and years lettered at the top.

It is the gentlest piece in the collection and the most openly comforting. Some people find the halo and the sky exactly right; others find it too much, and prefer something plainer. Both reactions are common, and there are quieter options in the same collection if this one is not for you.

Who chooses a cat angel portrait

It is most often chosen by people who think of the rainbow bridge, and by families with children, where a picture of the cat somewhere bright and peaceful gives a child something to hold on to and something to ask about. The imagery does the explaining.

A cat angel portrait is also the piece people most often send to someone else — a friend or family member whose cat has died, where flowers feel too temporary. If you are ordering it as a gift, we can send it directly to them; add their address as the delivery address at checkout.

Choosing the photo for a cat angel portrait

The composition has her looking slightly upward, so a photo with her head raised suits it, but it is not required — the pose is set by the style rather than by your picture. What matters is that the face is lit and both eyes are visible. The photo guide has a few examples, though an imperfect photo is very often still usable.

The image is generated in this style and then individually reviewed and refined by a person before anything prints. Her markings are matched against your photo, her eye colour corrected, and her face shaped to her rather than to a generic cat. The name and years come from what you enter at checkout, so please check the spelling. You receive a proof within one to three working days and nothing is printed until you approve it. Revisions are free and unlimited.

Sizes, framing and finish

Framed prints are 200gsm matte paper in a real pine frame with shatterproof plexiglass and a hanging kit, ready to hang, about four to six days after approval. Canvas is a slim 2cm stretched cotton-polyester blend, five to six days. White or natural wood framing suits the pale sky better than black. A digital download is available too.

Sizes are 8×12, 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches. If it is going in a child’s room, 8×12 or 12×18 usually sits better than anything larger. Shipping is free and tracked on every order. Quieter, plainer styles are in the Memorial collection if the sky and halo are not what you want.

Questions about this portrait

Can I order a cat angel portrait without the halo?
The halo is part of this style. If you would prefer a memorial piece without it, the Forever With Me and My Best Friend styles in the same collection have none.

Can it be sent straight to someone else?
Yes. Enter their address as the delivery address, and add a note if you would like us to be careful about timing.

Can I include the collar or a favourite thing of hers?
The collar and flowers shown are part of the style. Mention anything specific in your order notes and we will tell you honestly whether it can be included.

How long does a cat angel portrait take to arrive?
A proof in one to three working days, then four to six days framed or five to six on canvas. The digital download arrives by email.
