Custom Cat Shirts
Every cat shirt here is printed with a photo of your own cat, plus the name you type when you order. Some designs set one portrait in vintage black and white; others build a 90s bootleg collage of whiskers and faces. Pick a Comfort Colors tee, crewneck sweatshirt or hoodie, choose your colors, and we print it in the USA.
Gifts for cat owners, sorted by who's opening it
Cat people can be hard to shop for because they already own the mugs and the socks. Instead, give them their own cat: custom shirt designs here print its actual face. Start with the person, then match the design.
| For | Design that fits | Style |
|---|---|---|
| A cat mom with a black cat | Black cat mom portrait shirt | Vintage photo |
| Anyone with an orange tabby | Orange cat shirt | Bootleg rap |
| A gray cat's favorite human | Grey cat shirt | Bootleg rap |
| A cat lover who likes things loud | Cat mama photo collage tee | Bootleg rap |
| Someone missing a cat who passed | In loving memory cat shirt | Vintage photo |
Cat lover gifts for men are in here too. The custom black cat collage reads just as well on a cat dad as any black cat shirt for women, and the hoodie version is a cozy pick for the guy who watches TV with the cat on his chest. For cat lover gifts for her, the valentine cat shirt puts her cat's portrait in black and white with the name underneath.
How a custom cat shirt gets made
- Choose what to print onTee (S to 4XL), crewneck (S to 3XL) or hoodie (S to 2XL).
- Pick the colorsShirt color first; bootleg designs also ask for a design color.
- Upload the catAdd the photo and type the name. The sample cat on the listing is replaced by yours.
Picking the right cat photo
Cats rarely sit still, so this part matters. Aim for a shot in good light, facing the camera, with both ears in frame. A phone photo is fine. The sharper the file, the sharper the print, so send the original instead of a screenshot when you can. Black cats print best from bright daylight shots where you can see their eyes, and a tabby cat shirt shows the stripes nicely in the black-and-white vintage treatment.
Nobody redraws the picture. Each vintage design turns it into a custom cat portrait by toning your cat photo portrait in black and white and setting the name beneath it.
Funny cat shirts or a cleaner cat tee?
The bootleg rap style is the funny one: a cat face shirt with your cat repeated in a 90s collage and chrome lettering, available in up to 15 design colorways. The bootleg cat collage is the cat birthday shirt for a party where the cat is the guest of honor (yes, people throw them), and it's the most retro cat shirt we make. The vintage photo style is calmer. One portrait, toned black and white, with the name in white or antique gold under it. That's the cat lover shirt someone wears on a regular Tuesday.
Personalized cat shirts for the holidays
We also carry seasonal cat designs, like a Christmas cat dad shirt and a black cat Halloween portrait. Each personalized cat design follows the same process: your photo, your cat's name, your colors.
A quick note on photos: send only pictures you took or have the right to use. We leave out celebrities and other public figures, plus brand logos and cartoon characters, so a cat dressed up as a famous movie character won't make it to print. We cancel those orders and refund them completely.
Can I put two cats on one shirt?
That depends on the design. Bootleg collage designs are built to hold multiple photos, while vintage designs feature one portrait. Check the upload boxes on the product page to see how many photos that shirt takes.
Is the cat portrait custom made from my own photo?
Yes. The sample cat on the listing is swapped for the photo you upload, and the name you type prints with it. Vintage designs tone the picture black and white; bootleg designs repeat it in a collage.
Do you make cat shirts for men?
Yes. Every design comes in a relaxed unisex Comfort Colors tee, plus a crewneck and hoodie. The tee goes up to 4XL.
How long does a custom cat shirt take to arrive?
We print it in 1 to 3 business days, then USPS delivers in 3 to 5 business days with tracking. Plan on about 4 to 8 business days total; delivery dates aren't guaranteed.
What if the print comes out wrong?
Email a photo of the problem within 15 days of delivery and we'll send a free replacement or refund you. Size or color picked by mistake can't be returned, since each shirt is made to order.
