The smallest cat memorial we carry is this one. The Cat Arch Mini 2-line plaque has an arched top, a cat silhouette, and two short lines of text, and it’s sized for a flower bed or the corner of a lawn rather than a front yard. The photo shows the Black/White version for Ginger, 2004 to 2015. People who want something quiet and low to the ground tend to pick it.

What fits on two lines

Each line holds up to 11 characters at 1.25 inches. Line 1 is usually the name and line 2 the years, but you can do “Our Ginger” over “Good Girl” if you’d rather skip dates. Spaces count toward the 11, so write the text out and count before you order. The letters are raised and cast with the plaque, not painted on afterward.

Why the Cat Arch Mini 2-line plaque holds up outdoors

It’s cast from recycled aluminum in the USA, and aluminum doesn’t rust, so a wet spring or a snowbank won’t hurt it. The all-weather coating over the metal carries a five-year warranty. If it picks up grime under a shrub, a rinse and a soft cloth bring it back. There’s more on that in our plaque care page.

Eight finishes

You can order the Cat Arch Mini 2-line plaque in Antique Brass, Antique Copper, Black/Gold, Black/White, Bronze Verdigris, Bronze/Gold, Oil Rubbed Bronze, or Weathered Limestone/Dark Bronze. Black/White is the sharpest from a distance. Bronze Verdigris blends into greenery, which some people prefer for a memorial.

The same arched shape comes with a paw print instead of a cat, and the full-size silhouettes are in the Pet Collection. Check the spelling on your Cat Arch Mini 2-line plaque carefully, because personalized pieces are cast and can’t be changed or returned once the order goes in.
