Embroidered Cat Sweatshirt: Custom Cat Face Portrait and Name, a Memorial Keepsake

This embroidered cat sweatshirt turns your favorite photo into a stitched portrait of your cat’s face, with its real markings, eye color and whiskers. Add a name or a short line under the portrait and, if you like, a name and an icon on the sleeve, such as the angel paw many people choose for a memorial keepsake. Every detail is 100% real embroidery, stitched into the fabric rather than printed.

What is on the embroidered cat sweatshirt?

The embroidered cat sweatshirt carries up to 3 elements:

• The portrait: 1 to 4 cat faces embroidered from your photos, side by side on the middle chest or a single face on the left or right chest.
• The text under the design: names, a date or a short line such as “Murph and Floof”, in the font and thread color you choose. Leave it blank for the portrait only.
• The sleeve (optional): initials or a name plus an icon from the font and icon chart, such as the angel paw with a halo stitched for Lia.

How do you personalize your sweatshirt?

To personalize your sweatshirt, follow 6 steps:

• Choose the garment, color and size in the options above.
• Choose the number of cats, from 1 to 4.
• Pick the placement: middle chest, left chest or right chest.
• Type the text under the design, then pick its font, thread color and an optional outline color.
• Add sleeve embroidery if you like (+ $10): initials or a name, an icon, the font, thread color and sleeve.
• Upload clear photos of each cat, facing the camera with both eyes visible.

How much does the embroidered cat sweatshirt cost?

The price shown covers one cat, and the total changes with your options:

• 1 or 2 cats: the garment price, $53.85 for the crewneck sweatshirt.
• 3 cats: + $10.
• 4 cats: + $20.
• Sleeve embroidery: + $10.

Which garment and color should you choose?

The design comes on 4 garments, each with its own color list:

• Crewneck sweatshirt ($53.85): 8 colors, sizes S to 5XL.
• Hoodie ($63): 20 colors, sizes S to 5XL.
• Quarter zip ($59): 13 colors, sizes S to 5XL.
• T-shirt ($43): 20 colors, sizes S to 4XL.

Pick a garment color that contrasts with your cat’s fur: a light gray or white cat stands out on Maroon, Navy or Forest Green, and a dark tabby or black cat on Light Pink, Sand or Light Blue. Black text reads best on light colors and white or yellow text on dark ones. Your free proof shows the exact combination before we stitch.

Is it a good cat memorial keepsake?

Yes. A sweatshirt with your cat’s own face and name keeps it close every day, and the sleeve can carry its name with an angel paw, a solid heart or a paw print. It is also a gift for someone who has just lost a cat: send their clearest photos, and your proof shows how the portrait will look. For the same idea on a hoodie, see the cat memorial hoodie.

What happens after you order?

We email you a free digital design proof within 1–2 business days, and you can ask for unlimited edits. Once you approve it, we embroider your sweatshirt in 1–3 business days and ship it from the USA, so it arrives 3–8 business days after approval (U.S. delivery).

Which size should you choose?

Each piece is personalized and made to order, so it is not eligible for size exchanges. Compare the measurements with a top you already own in our size guide before you order, and size up for a roomy, oversized fit.

How should you wash an embroidered sweatshirt?

To keep the embroidery bright and flat, follow 4 steps:

• Turn the sweatshirt inside out before washing.
• Wash it cold on a gentle cycle.
• Tumble dry low or hang it to dry.
• Iron on the reverse side, never directly on the embroidery.

Frequently asked questions

Can I order it with my dog?

Yes. The portrait works for any pet, and cats and dogs can share one design. For a dog portrait framed by flowers, see the dog memorial sweatshirt.

Is the portrait printed or embroidered?

It is embroidered. The portrait, text and sleeve details are all stitched in thread, so they have a raised texture you can feel and will not crack or peel like a print.

Where can I find more cat designs?

More portraits from your photo are in our cat mom sweatshirts, and designs made to remember a pet are in our pet memorial sweatshirts.
