Cat Urns

Cat Urns by Material

Ceramic cat urns are among the most popular urns for cats, available in hand-glazed finishes with sculpted paw prints, floral motifs, and feline silhouettes. Our ceramic pet urns collection ranges from classic rounded vessels to unique artistic designs, each handmade with slight variations that make every piece one of a kind. Wood cat urns are handcrafted from cherry, walnut, oak, and rosewood, with many featuring laser-engraved portraits or breed-specific artwork. Browse our full selection of wooden pet urns for every species and finish.

Metal cat urns in brass, pewter, and stainless steel offer a durable, timeless memorial suitable for both display and burial. See our metal pet urns for brushed, polished, and hand-painted options. Marble cat urns are carved from solid natural stone and make a dignified centerpiece for a home memorial — browse our marble pet urns in several stone colors and sizes. We also carry cat cremation urns in glass, each one individually blown by an artisan so no two are exactly alike.

Choosing the Right Size Cat Urn

The standard sizing rule for a cat urn is one cubic inch of capacity per pound of body weight. Most domestic cats weigh between 8 and 12 pounds, so a cat urn in the 10-to-15-cubic-inch range will fit the majority of cats comfortably. Larger breeds like Maine Coons or Ragdolls may need a slightly bigger urn in the 20-cubic-inch range. If you are unsure about weight, your veterinarian or cremation provider can advise you. For a detailed walkthrough of the sizing process, see our guide on how to choose the right pet urn.

If you would like to keep a small portion of ashes separately — on a bedside table, in another room, or with a family member — our small urns for pet ashes hold a token amount and pair well with a full-size cat urn, allowing the family to share ashes among multiple locations or keep a portion close at all times.

Cat Urn Styles and Features

Photo cat urns feature a built-in frame where you can display a favorite picture of your cat directly on the urn. Our pet urns with photo frames come in wood and metal and accept standard-size prints. Engraved cat urns let you add your cat's name, dates, a short verse, or a paw print to create a truly one-of-a-kind memorial. Laser engraving produces clean, permanent text on wood and metal surfaces — see our article on what to engrave on a pet urn for popular inscription ideas. For custom engraving, hand-painted portraits, and mosaic artwork, visit our personalized cat urn collection.

For a sculpted, three-dimensional tribute, our cat shaped urns are modeled after specific breeds and sleeping poses with lifelike detail and weatherproof finishes suitable for indoor or outdoor display. We also carry unique cat urns with artistic themes — black cat silhouettes, whimsical designs, and elegant modern vessels — so you can find an urn that reflects your cat's personality.

Placing Your Cat Urn: Display, Burial, and Scattering

Most families choose to display their cat urn at home — ceramic and wood urns blend naturally into a living room or bedroom, while marble and metal work well as a more formal display piece on a mantel or shelf. Our article on how to display a pet urn at home offers placement ideas and etiquette tips, and our guide to cat memorial ideas covers broader options like garden tributes, shadow boxes, and memorial shelves. If you plan to bury your cat's ashes, a pet vault protects the urn underground from moisture and soil pressure. For a natural return, our biodegradable pet urns break down gently in earth or water.

Some families ask whether pet ashes can be placed alongside human remains — our guide on whether pet ashes can be buried with humans explains the rules and options by state. For questions about cremation pricing and what to expect from the process, see our article on pet cremation costs.
