Retro Valentine Card Cat Ornament

This cat valentine ornament looks like the valentine a 1950s schoolkid would have saved in a shoebox, except the sender is your cat. A red lace-paper border, a dotted heart and two little cupid arrows frame your cat, who peeks over a red heart sign like it has something important to say.

The design: a die-cut valentine from your cat

The disc is blush pink, edged with a red scalloped lace-paper border around the rim. A large dotted red heart sits behind your cat, and two tiny gold cupid arrows point in from the upper left and upper right. Your cat, cut out from your photo, fills the center, with its head and front paws resting on top of a red heart-shaped sign in the lower middle.

“You’re Purr-fect” arches across the top in a bouncy hand-lettered 1950s script in valentine red. The sign reads “Love,” with your cat’s name in a casual cream script, so the ornament is signed like a real card, and a small year sits at the bottom in rose pink. Our example says “Love, Peaches” and “2027” – you add your own cat’s name and the year you want.

How your ornament is made

Upload a photo of your cat and you will see a free AI preview. The preview is an illustration only, there to show the idea. Our designers then prepare the final artwork from your original photo, removing the background so your cat sits neatly behind the sign, and check it by hand before printing.

Each ornament is made to order and ready to ship in about 3–5 business days, with about 8–12 business days from order to doorstep. Free standard shipping on every US order. For Valentine’s Day, order with time to spare before February 14. If your ornament arrives damaged or misprinted, we remake it or refund you – see returns and refunds.

Photo tips for the peeking pose

The design shows your cat’s head and front paws, so a photo of your cat sitting or loafing and facing the camera works best. Paws in the shot are a bonus, since they rest on the sign. Choose a sharp, well-lit picture with both eyes clear and the ears uncropped; fluffy ear tufts and long fur look best in soft daylight.

A small cat Valentine’s Day keepsake

Hang it from a branch in a vase for February, tuck it into a card, or keep it on the tree next December as a keepsake with the year on it. It is an easy personalized cat valentine gift for a partner, a long-distance friend who misses your cat, or a cat-loving teacher. At three inches across, a cat valentine ornament fits on a desk hook, a mirror frame or a window latch.

To carry the look onto the couch, pair it with the vintage valentine card blanket, which scatters the same kind of lace-edged cards across a pink throw. Browse more cat valentine gifts or every custom cat ornament.
