Pawtrove Feltever offers two framed formats:
- 5-inch head portrait: Focuses closely on the face, eyes, nose, mouth, cheeks, and ears.
- 8-inch head-with-legs portrait: Includes the face, chest, and front paws for a more dimensional display.
A framed portrait works particularly well when your favorite photographs are close-ups. It is also a practical choice if you do not have clear photos of the cat's back, tail, or full-body posture.
Choose a framed cat portrait when:
- You want the eyes and facial expression to be the emotional focus.
- You prefer wall art or a protected shelf display.
- You have good face photos but limited full-body references.
- You are ordering a formal cat memorial gift.
- You want the wool artwork to fit naturally with home decor.
How to Choose the Right Style for Your Cat
Choose Based on What You Remember Most
If you remember your cat's eyes, expression, and face most clearly, choose a framed portrait. If you remember the way your cat sat, curled its tail, or waited by the window, choose a Full-Body Figurine. If you want a small reminder that can remain close without taking up much space, choose a Mini Figurine.
Choose Based on Your Available Photos
A Full-Body Figurine benefits from front, side, back, and tail photos. A framed portrait can often be made from a smaller collection of clear facial images. A Mini Figurine still needs full-body references, but some very small markings may be simplified because of its scale.
Choose Based on Display Space
Mini Figurines are suited to small desks and bedside tables. Full-Body Figurines create a stronger visual presence on a shelf or memorial table. Framed portraits are useful when floor and shelf space are limited.
Choose Based on Memorial Purpose
For a visible home memorial, choose a framed portrait or larger Full-Body Figurine. For a private keepsake or a gentle sympathy gift, the Mini Figurine may feel less overwhelming while remaining personal.
Best Photos for Each Cat Portrait Style
Photos for a Mini or Full-Body Cat Figurine
- A clear face photo taken near eye level
- A full-body front view
- Left and right side views
- A photo of the cat's back
- A clear view of the tail and paws
- Close-ups of unusual markings and eye colors
- A photo or video showing the preferred pose
Photos for a Framed Cat Portrait
- A sharp front or three-quarter face photo

- Clearly visible eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and cheeks
- Additional photos showing both sides of the face
- A chest and front-paw photo for the 8-inch style
Tell the artist which image should guide the expression. Cats can look very different when relaxed, alert, sleepy, playful, or slightly annoyed. The most technically perfect image is not always the one that feels most like your cat.

Which Personal Details Can Be Recreated?
Useful details to mention before production include:
- Different-colored eyes or unusual eye tones
- A folded, damaged, or slightly tilted ear
- Tabby forehead markings
- White paws, chest patches, or nose spots
- A fluffy mane or especially long tail
- A visible lower tooth or tongue
- A familiar collar, bow, or name tag
- A favorite sitting or sleeping posture
A small amount of clean cat fur may also be incorporated into some wool felt portraits by prior arrangement. Most of the piece will still be made from wool so the structure, color, and shape remain stable.
What Happens After You Choose a Style?
- Select the portrait style and size.
- Submit your cat's reference photos and preferred expression.
- Explain important markings, pose details, and customization requests.
- Pay the 50% deposit or the full order amount.
- The artist builds the shape, blends the coat colors, and creates the facial details.
- Review the preview photos or videos before shipment.
- Request reasonable refinements where needed.
- Pay the remaining balance and approve shipment.
Creation time does not include international transportation. Allow additional delivery time and order early when the portrait is intended for a birthday, holiday, or memorial date.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which custom cat portrait style is the most detailed?
A larger Full-Body Figurine offers the most space for detailed coat patterns, body proportions, paws, posture, and tail shape.
Which cat portrait is best if I only have face photos?
A Framed Felted Cat Portrait is normally the best choice because it focuses on the face and does not require complete body and tail references.
Is the Mini Figurine a full-body cat replica?
Yes. It is a compact 3-inch full-body interpretation. It shows the cat's main colors, shape, and pose, but very small markings may be simplified.
How much does a Mini Cat Figurine cost?
The Pawtrove Feltever Mini Figurine costs $165. Confirm the current product listing before ordering in case prices or promotions change.
Can a portrait be made for a cat that has passed away?
Yes. The portrait can be created from existing photographs and videos. Multiple reference images help the artist understand the cat's coat, markings, eye color, and personality.
Can you make long-haired and short-haired cats?
Yes. Wool can be layered and trimmed to interpret both long and short coats. Larger portraits provide more room for complex fur texture.
Can real cat fur be used?
A small amount of clean cat fur may be incorporated by prior arrangement. Contact Pawtrove Feltever before sending it.
Which style is best as a cat memorial gift?
Choose a framed portrait for a formal, face-focused memorial. Choose a Full-Body Figurine when the cat's posture and physical presence are important. Choose a Mini Figurine for a smaller and gentler gift.
