Cat Urns and Keepsakes

A Cat Memorial for the Kitty You Loved

A cat can become part of the rhythm of a home in ways that are difficult to put into words. Choosing a cat urn for ashes gives you a lasting place to keep their cremated remains and create a memorial that brings their familiar presence to mind.

Our collection of cat urns and cat cremation urns includes sculptural cat-shaped designs, traditional urns, memorial boxes and smaller keepsakes. From a sleeping or sitting cat to a simple wood, metal or ceramic urn, the right choice may be the one that reminds you most naturally of the companion you are remembering.

Cat Urns in Designs That Feel Familiar

For some people, the shape of the memorial matters most. Cat-shaped urns and cat statue urns can reflect the familiar silhouette or resting pose of a much-loved cat and feel more like a personal object in the home than a traditional cremation urn.

Others prefer a simpler urn for cat ashes in wood, ceramic or metal. Color can also make a memorial feel more connected to your cat, whether you are drawn to a black, white, gray or warmer-toned design.

There is no need for the urn to match your cat exactly. A color, pose, material or small detail that brings them to mind can be enough to make the memorial feel right.

Full-Size Cat Urns and Smaller Keepsakes

Cat urns are available in different capacities depending on how much of the ashes you plan to keep.

A larger cat cremation urn may hold all of your cat's ashes, while a cat ashes keepsake is designed to hold only a portion. A keepsake can be meaningful if several family members would each like a remembrance, or if most of the ashes will be buried or scattered and you would like to keep a small amount close.

For an even smaller memorial, pet cremation jewelry can hold a very small portion of ashes in a piece that can be worn or kept nearby.

Make Their Memorial More Personal

Many families choose to personalize a cat urn with their companion's name, dates or a short message. Depending on the design, personalization may be engraved directly onto the urn or added with a plaque or pendant.

A photograph can offer another meaningful connection. If keeping a favorite image alongside the ashes feels right, you can also explore our cremation photo urns.

A custom cat urn does not have to be elaborate. Often a name, photograph or few carefully chosen words are enough to turn the memorial into something unmistakably theirs.

Keeping Your Cat's Urn at Home

Many cat urns are designed to rest naturally on a shelf, mantel, table or other quiet place in the home. You may choose to display the urn alongside a photograph, collar, tag or another object that holds a memory.

Where you keep it is personal. Some people create a dedicated memorial space, while others prefer an urn or cat memorial box that becomes a subtle part of the home their cat once shared.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size cat urn do I need?

A commonly used guideline is to allow at least one cubic inch of urn capacity for each pound your cat weighed before cremation. For example, a cat who weighed 12 pounds would generally need an urn with at least 12 cubic inches of capacity if you plan to keep all of the ashes together.

The amount of cremated remains can vary, so consider this a starting point rather than an exact measurement. Always check the capacity listed on the individual product page before choosing an urn.

What is the difference between a cat urn and a cat keepsake urn?

A full-capacity cat urn is intended to hold all or most of your cat's cremated remains. A cat keepsake urn is smaller and holds only a portion of the ashes.

Keepsakes can be a thoughtful choice when ashes will be shared among family members or when you want to keep a small amount after scattering or burial.

What styles of cat urns are available?

Cat urns can take many forms, including traditional cremation urns, wooden boxes, ceramic designs and sculptural urns shaped like cats.

Some people choose a memorial based on color, such as a black or white cat urn, while others are drawn to a familiar sleeping, sitting or curled pose. The most meaningful choice is often simply the design that reminds you of your cat.

Can a cat urn be personalized?

Yes, many cat urns can be personalized with a name, dates or a short memorial message. Depending on the urn, personalization may be engraved directly onto the piece or added through an engraved plaque, pendant or other detail.

Check the individual product page to see the engraving options available for that design.

Can I put my cat's ashes directly into the urn?

Cat ashes are commonly returned by the crematory inside a sealed bag or temporary container. In many cases, that bag can be placed directly inside the urn if the opening and capacity allow.

You do not necessarily need to remove the ashes from their original bag. Our guide to transferring ashes to a cremation urn explains the process and different types of urn openings.

Can I keep my cat's urn at home?

Yes. Many people keep a cat urn at home on a mantel, shelf, table or in another place where the memorial feels comfortable and personal.

You might display it with a photograph, collar, tag or favorite keepsake, or simply keep the urn on its own in a place that reminds you of your cat.
