Custom Cat Portraits: Whimsical, Personalized Art for Your Furry Friend 🎨

Bring your beloved cat’s personality to life with a custom cat portrait, lovingly hand-painted just for you. Whether it’s your American Shorthair, Maine Coon, Persian, or any other breed, I capture your pet’s unique essence in a whimsical, fun, and one-of-a-kind work of custom cat art. My style blends elements of pop art with a touch of imagination—think flower crowns, playful butterflies, or even a quirky accessory of your choice. 🐾

Every portrait of your cat is carefully painted on stretched canvas, ready to frame or hang right out of the box. This isn’t just a painting—it’s a celebration of your furry friend and their special place in your heart. Have a dog? I love painting pups, too!

What to Expect from Your Custom Cat Portrait

A Personalized Cat Painting Customized to Perfection:

After placing your order, I’ll ask for your favorite photos that I can reference when I paint your cat as well as a few ideas for the portrait. Want to include a specific background, like flowers, or give your pet a fun accessory, like a fancy hat? You dream it, I paint it! All of the custom cat portraits I paint are created to reflect his or her unique personality and your personal style. 💫

Canvas Sizes for Every Space:

Choose the size that fits your space and style:

• 5″ x 5″
• 5″ x 7″
• 12″ x 12″
• 16″ x 16″
• 20″ x 20″

Once I have your pet photo and your vision, I’ll create a sketch for your approval before moving forward with the painting. I want to make sure every detail is just right!

Frequently Asked Questions

How many cats can be included in one portrait?

Most sizes are available as either a single pet or two pets on one canvas. If you have more than two cats you’d like included, reach out before ordering and I’ll let you know what’s possible. I want every pet in the piece to get the attention they deserve.

What photo should I send you?

A clear, well-lit photo where your cat’s face and personality come through is ideal. Natural light works beautifully, and a slightly candid shot often captures more character than a posed one. If you’re torn between a few options, send them all and I’ll help you choose the one that will translate best into paint.

Can I customize the background or add fun details?

Absolutely, that’s one of my favorite parts of the process. Flowers, butterflies, a jaunty little crown, a nod to something your cat loves or does constantly (looking at you, box-sitters)—if you have an idea, tell me and I’ll find a way to bring it in. If you’re not sure what you want, I’m happy to suggest something based on your cat’s personality.

How long does a custom cat portrait take?

Please allow 4 to 6 weeks from the time I receive your photos and approve the sketch. Each portrait is painted entirely by hand, so I never rush the process. I’ll keep you updated along the way.

Can I request a rush order?

Sometimes, yes. If you have a specific date in mind, reach out before ordering and I’ll let you know honestly whether it’s achievable given my current schedule. I’d rather tell you upfront than promise something I can’t deliver.

Can you paint a memorial portrait for a cat who has passed?

Yes, and it’s some of the most meaningful work I do. I approach memorial portraits with extra care and am always happy to talk through the process before you order, including what photos to use and any details you’d like included.

What size should I choose?

It depends on the space you have in mind. The smaller sizes (5″ x 5″, 5″ x 7″) are lovely for a shelf or a gallery wall alongside other pieces. The larger sizes (16″ x 16″, 20″ x 20″) make a real statement as a standalone piece. If you’re unsure, tell me where it’s going to hang and I’ll help you decide.

Do you ship nationwide?

Yes. Every portrait is carefully packaged and shipped across the United States.
