A Personal Memorial for Your Beloved White Cat
Keep your white cat’s memory close with a ceramic urn hand-painted from your photos, capturing the soft coat tones, familiar eyes, and small details that made them yours.
White cats are rarely just white. You may remember the cream tones in their fur, the pink of their nose, the shape of their ears, or a tiny marking that made them unmistakable. Ceramic artisans in Jingdezhen, China, study your cat’s coat color, facial shape, eye color, fur length, markings, and expression to create a personalized portrait inspired by the companion you remember.
Why Choose This White Cat Memorial Urn?
-
Personalized from your photos: A hand-painted portrait inspired by your cat’s distinctive appearance, not a standard printed image.
-
Subtle white-fur details: Warm cream tones, gentle shadows, pink nose and ear details, and visible markings bring character to pale coats.
-
Artwork preview: Review the portrait before final firing, with one complimentary revision available.
-
Personal details: Add a name, dates, a short message, or an available painted design detail.
-
Two capacity options: Choose approximately 500 ml or 650 ml according to your needs.
Personalize Your Cat’s Memorial
1. Choose Your Portrait Style
Closed Eyes, included in the base price: A peaceful resting expression for a quiet and understated memorial.
Open Eyes, additional $10: An alert expression inspired by the eye shape and color visible in your reference photographs.
2. Choose an Optional Painted Detail
Available options are None, National Flag, Scarf, Bow Tie, Clothing / Outfit, and Other Custom. Optional painted details other than None currently cost an additional $15.
These are hand-painted ceramic details, not removable accessories. For a complex Other Custom request, contact support@pawcelain.com before ordering so we can confirm feasibility.
3. Add a Name, Dates, or Personal Message
Include your cat’s name, important dates, a short message, or concise design instructions. Enter spelling, capitalization, and dates exactly as you want them to appear. If a particular feature is especially important, mention it clearly so the artist knows which details to prioritize.
4. Upload Your Cat’s Photographs
Clear reference photographs help the artist understand your cat’s distinctive appearance. Please provide:
-
Main Portrait Photo, required: A clear photograph showing your cat’s face and expression.
-
Detail Photo, optional: A close-up showing eye color, nose color, faint markings, or collar details.
-
Additional Angle, optional: A side or body view showing ear shape, fur length, tail color, and coat transitions.
Natural, indirect daylight is ideal. Avoid strong filters, colored indoor lighting, and overexposed images that make cream or gray details disappear. If your cat appears different across photographs, identify the image that best represents their true coloring.
Handmade Ceramic Craftsmanship in Jingdezhen
Jingdezhen, China, has a long history of porcelain craftsmanship. Pawcelain draws on this ceramic tradition to create handmade memorial pieces with individual character.
Each urn may pass through up to 72 making steps, including clay preparation, shaping, drying, trimming, firing, hand-painting, glazing, inspection, and packing. Ceramic pigments are applied by hand, and the finished piece is high-fired at approximately 1280°C according to the production process.
Natural variations in brushwork, glaze, color, and surface are part of handmade ceramic craftsmanship. The artist follows your approved portrait direction, selected options, and written details as carefully as possible while preserving the character of a handmade piece.

Care Instructions
- Display indoors on a stable, level surface away from edges and high-traffic areas.
- Lift the urn by its body or base rather than by the lid, ears, or painted details.
- Dust with a soft, dry cloth. If needed, use a slightly damp soft cloth and dry promptly.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, bleach, and harsh chemicals.
- Do not place in a dishwasher, microwave, oven, freezer, or direct flame.
- Avoid soaking the lid or exposing the ceramic to sudden temperature changes.
- Keep cremated remains inside their sealed inner bag because the urn is not airtight.
- If moving the urn, wrap the lid and body separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you capture the details of a white or cream-colored cat?
The artist studies coat warmth, shadows, eye color, facial shape, nose and ear tones, fur length, and visible markings. Natural-light images are especially helpful for understanding pale fur.
Can you paint a long-haired or fluffy white cat?
Yes. Photos showing the cheeks, chest, ears, tail, and body silhouette help the artist interpret fur length and shape. The result is a hand-painted ceramic portrait rather than an individual-hair reproduction.
Can you include different-colored eyes or faint markings?
Please identify these features in your design instructions and indicate which reference photograph shows them most clearly. The artist uses your photographs to guide the portrait.
Will I see the portrait before it is finished?
Yes. An artwork preview is provided before final firing, with one complimentary revision available. The ordering section above explains the response deadline and review process.
Which size should I choose?
Choose by capacity and the dimensions of the returned cremains package, not pet weight alone. See the size table above and confirm the package dimensions with your crematory whenever possible.
Is the urn airtight?
No. Keep cremated remains in their sealed inner bag inside the lidded ceramic urn.
How long does a custom order take?
Production generally takes 15–20 business days before shipping. Allow additional time for any requested revision and carrier transit.
What should I do if the urn arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours of delivery. See the damage-protection section above for the photographs and order information to include.
