This Memory Kitty is made from a shirt or the clothing of someone who has passed or matured. It is a perfect way to memorialize a loved one! It can make a very touching gift for a friend or family member who has lost someone they love.
The cats are 15" from the heel to the top of the head. When in a sitting position ,they are 11" from the bottom to the top of the head. We do not offer the option to scale down the size of the pattern. All kitties will be cut from the same pattern size.
The stomach measures 8" wide by 6" tall. If you have a shirt you would like the logo on the bear, the logo must fit within these dimensions.  Sadly anything bigger would be cut off but could be placed in other places on the dog.
 
****Compatible Fabrics****
These cats can be made from button-down shirts, sweaters with tight stitching.
T-shirts ,women's polyester stretchy shirts, golf polos, house coats/dusters, thermals, knits, blankets and chiffon dresses.
 
Leather jackets, coats made of down feathers, pet beds , and fur coats are not recommended for this item.
 
Cats will receive collars only if the shirt had a collar. Other garmets that do not come with a collar or button down strip will receive a bow. Message me if you want the fabric to be a specific color. Or you can send another item of clothing to make the bow with.
The nose of the kitty is black. If you plan to  send a black fabric it may not stand out.
whiskers can be black or white.
 
Size Shirts that can be used:
A 2XL long sleeve  shirt can make 2 15" cats If it is a collard shirt is provided one kitty will have a collar, the other cat will have a bow. A short sleeve XL shirt will only make one cat. Clothing can shrink in the wash or run smaller in size. I see this more often in women's clothing.
 
Medium  long sleeved shirt or bigger will make one kitty.
 
Small or smaller shirts will not make a cat. However, you can provide more then one shirt to help complete a kitty.  I suggest long sleeved shirts be sent.
I can also purchase matching fabric to help complete a cat if there isn't enough.
 
Embroidery
Embroidery can be placed on the chest or foot. I can fit 3 rows of 7 characters on one foot.  Please be very sure about the correct spelling of name or accurate date, you provide. I can only redo an embroidered piece if there is enough fabric available. There will be a $5 charge to correct any errors.
Please provide your embroidery information in the message to seller section. You can also label the clothing that you send.
The dog's right foot is on the left side of the picture. Please provide embroidery with the right foot first ,when purchasing embroidery on both feet. For example
Bob Jones
Right foot would be Bob, left foot would be Jones.
Each cat is specifically designed to use the  details available to resemble the the shirt as much as possible. If the shirt has a button collar, zipper collar, button down strip, buttoned shoulder tabs, buckles, lace, sequins, beads, embroidery or a picture , I do my best to  add it to the kitty. The cat will not recieve these details if a customer requests they be left off or if it wont cut or sew. If you are unsure, you can always message me!  Details that interfere with the construction of the cat  will have to be left off. If you are unsure if a detail can be kept ,please contact me . You are welcome to send pictures of your garmet to gain a clearer understanding.
