Memorial kitty (YOUR cat's fur!)
Custom handmade crocheted copy of YOUR cat, made with real fur! I wanted to travel with my kitties, so I made mini doppelgängers of them to bring around the world with us, and now you can do the same!
Step 1: Place your order, choosing either a single color or simple two-color pattern (like tuxedo or stripes). For more complex patterns (like siamese, calico, or tortoiseshell), please request a custom order and send a picture of your cat for an accurate quote.
Step 2: Mail clean fur brushed from your cat to me (I will provide necessary quantities, based on requested pattern).
Step 3: Send me pictures of your cat for any custom pattern requests.
Step 4: Wait 3-6 weeks. Most of this time is in processing the fur. Each cat is custom made to order with care and love. I will provide regular status updates on the progress. I promise they're worth the wait <3
Step 5: Receive your little kitty mini and share with me a picture of it with your kitty if you can!
NOTE: I will only work with fur collected humanely. If I suspect fur was collected in a manner that would cause your cat distress, I will return the fur to you and issue you a refund (less shipping fees). I will not fulfill any future requests.
I can make kitties with short or long hair, though longer hair works best. I usually need about a quart-sized ziplock full of fur to make one kitty, though I can incorporate any amount if your furbaby has passed. Generally, more is better. If you cannot collect enough of a particular color, I will supplement with wool or other fibers.
I can also work with fur that's already spun into yarn. Please contact me if you'd like to send your kitty's fur already processed, and I can apply the appropriate discount.
Primarily made with yarn spun with your cat's fur.
Other materials include additional yarn for pattern and facial accents, plastic beads for the eyes, and synthetic stuffing.
Whiskers can be added on request for an additional fee. However, NEVER pluck or cut your cat's whiskers, as this will hurt your cat. I accept only naturally fallen whiskers.
I will provide regular progress updates with pictures to ensure the kitty mini meets your specifications. Due to the custom nature of the minis, I cannot accept returns or issue refunds once I have processed the fur.
Don't have any fur but still want a memorial of your feline furbaby? I also crochet replicas from regular yarn and can incorporate ashes for a precious keepsake. Check out my other listings for more information.
As someone who has lost her 16th birthday present Maine coon at age 15, and for whom my 21-year-old nebelung and 8-year-old tuxy are my children, know your kitty mini will be crafted with the utmost care and love.
