Custom Orange Cat Portraits From Your Photo
Orange is the hardest cat color to pin down, because it changes with the light. Under a warm lamp he photographs deep red; by a window at noon he goes pale yellow; on the sofa at dusk he is somewhere in between and none of the three is quite the color you would name if someone asked. That is why so many orange cat photos look almost right and not quite him.

Styles orange cats shine in
Big saturated color, which is the only fair way to treat that coat.
Warm washes that hold ginger and cream apart instead of blending them.
WANTED: for a crime committed in full view, with no attempt to hide it.
Orange cat, newspaper, complete lack of shame. It writes itself.
The photo that works best
- Pick one light and stay in it. Orange shifts more between warm indoor bulbs and daylight than any other coat color, so the photo you like best is usually the one taken in the light you actually see him in.
- Daylight through a window, slightly to the side, is the most reliable. It keeps the red from going brassy.
- Watch for blown-out white bits. Most orange cats have white on the chin, chest or paws, and a bright exposure loses them entirely.
- Phone photos are perfect; no professional shots needed.
- If your cat has crossed the rainbow bridge, we work gently from the photos you have — you approve the art before anything is printed.

Common questions
- Will the art match his exact shade of orange?
- It follows the photo you send, which is why the lighting note above matters more for orange cats than for most. Ginger, marmalade, red tabby, cream and the pale apricot ones all come back as the color in your photo — and you see the finished art free before you pay, so you can check it against the cat in the room.
- Does the tabby pattern show, or just the color?
- Both. Nearly every orange cat is a tabby of some kind, so the stripes, swirls or spots are part of what makes him recognizable. We work from your photo rather than a template, so the pattern comes through as it really sits.
- Can you do two cats from one photo?
- Yes. Everyone in the photo is included, so a pair on the same windowsill comes back as a pair.
