A Custom Plush of Your Cat
Sewn by hand in our studio from the photos of your own cat
A custom cat plush is a soft copy of your own cat, sewn by hand from the photos you send. Same coat, same markings, same eyes, as close as fabric and thread allow. Each one is made to order for one cat and one owner. Nothing here waits on a shelf.
- Time: usually 2–4 weeks to sew, then 7–20 business days of delivery.
- Photos before it ships: you check the finished toy against your cat. If something is off, we fix it first.
- Full refund: if it arrives and you don’t love it, tell us within 14 days.
- Since 2009, every toy by hand, in our own studio.
What photos to send
- A clear photo of the face, then one from each side and one from the back
- Close-ups of what makes your cat yours: a spot on the nose, a white tail tip, folded ears, the eye colour
- The size you’d like, and your date if there is one
Phone photos are fine. Old photos are fine too, if the cat is no longer with you.
How close does it get?
We copy the cat in your photos, not a breed picture: where the white stops on the chest, the lopsided mask, the one ear that folds. You know that face better than anyone, so you see photos of the finished toy before it ships and tell us what to change.
It’s a plush, so it will never be an exact copy. Want a cartoon-style cat instead, rounder with big eyes? We make those from your photos too. Have a cartoon sketch? We sew from it. No sketch yet? Our artist can draw one first, as a plush-ready drawing. Only faux fur, never real fur.

Cats We've Sewn From Photos
Four cats, four sets of photos
The tuxedo cat came from a family’s photos of their own cat. The detail they check first is the small black spot under the pink nose. Then the long black coat on the back, the white chest and paws, the yellow-green eyes and a tail so bushy it’s almost half the toy.
Tuxedo isn’t a breed, it’s a coat pattern, and every cat wears it differently. Where the black meets the white comes from the photos.
The grey cat was sewn from photographs of a real cat: shaggy blue-grey fur, a cream chest, a white-tipped tail and big eyes looking up at you. The face markings were matched to the photos so the owner sees their cat, not a cat.
The black cat is short black faux fur and golden eyes, made to look like one particular pet. With no markings to hide behind, a black cat is all face and eye colour.
The tabby has folded ears, green eyes, white paws and a pink tongue poking out, because that’s how the cat in the photo looked. Any breed or mix works the same way.
What you can choose
- Any size, from a kitten that sits on your palm to a cat that fills your lap.
- The pose: sitting, lying down, belly up, or a bendable body you can change.
- The coat, matched to your photos: long or short, tabby, tuxedo, solid black, any colour.
- Extras on request: a sound module, LED eyes, a name tag or an embroidered name. Extras change the price and the time.
Why people trust us with their cat
We’ve made toys to order since 2009, each one by hand, and a copy of someone’s own pet is the work we take most personally.
You see photos of the finished toy before it ships. If it isn’t your cat when you open the box, you have 14 days to tell us, for any reason. You get a full refund and keep the plush. The details are on our guarantee page.
Want a dog as well? We sew dogs from photos the same way, and memorial pets when the cat is no longer with you. Other animals are under realistic stuffed animals.
Questions about cat plush
Yes. Send a few clear photos of your cat: the face, each side, the back, and close-ups of the markings and eyes. We sew one plush by hand from them, made to order for you. Making usually takes 2–4 weeks.
Close enough that you recognise your own cat at a glance: the coat, the markings, the eye colour, the set of the ears. It’s a plush, not a photograph, so it will never be an exact copy. You see photos of the finished toy before it ships and tell us what to change.
Sharp daylight photos with the whole cat in the frame: one of the face, one from each side, one from behind. Then close-ups of anything that makes your cat yours, like a spot under the nose, a white tail tip or a folded ear. Phone photos are fine. If your cat has passed away, send what you have and we’ll work from that.
Yes. Send the photos you have, even old ones, and we sew the cat from those. There is no deadline on a memorial order. Take the time you need to pick the photos. Our memorial pets page shows the other ways we can do it.
Yes, both ways. A realistic copy of the cat in your photos, or a cartoon-style cat with a simpler shape, a cute face and big eyes. Send us the cartoon sketch you like and we sew from it. No sketch? Our artist can draw one first, as a plush-ready drawing. Either way it keeps your cat’s colors and markings, and you see photos of the finished plush before it ships.
Faux fur and plush, matched to your cat’s coat: long pile for a fluffy cat, short and smooth for a sleek one, two colours pieced together for a tuxedo. We never use real fur. The eyes are glass or plastic, the nose is sculpted and painted, and whiskers are added last. Everything we use is safe.
Making usually takes 2–4 weeks, and the quote gives you a real estimate. We ship worldwide. Delivery usually takes 7–20 business days, longer around the holidays. If it’s a gift for a date, tell us up front.
You approve photos of the finished toy before it ships, and we fix what looks off. After it arrives, you have 14 days to tell us, for any reason. You get a full refund and keep the plush.

Custom toys start from $350.
A bigger size or extra details can cost more.
Why?
No ready-made pattern. Your photo or drawing doesn’t come with one. Our artist builds the pattern from scratch and turns a flat picture into a 3D toy. It’s the hardest and slowest part.
Materials picked for your toy. The right color, fur length and texture. Sometimes we order fabric just for one project.
Sewn by hand. Every piece is cut, sewn, stuffed and finished by hand. The face takes the most time: move an eye a millimeter and the character changes.
You approve it first. When your toy is ready, we send you photos. Something looks off? We fix it before shipping.
One toy, not a thousand. A factory spreads design costs over thousands of copies. Here, all that work goes into one toy: yours.
That’s why prices start at $350. And on a personal order, if you don’t love your toy, you get a full refund.
