My name is Robert Shirt, and I have over 20 years of experience as an animal artist, specializing in hand drawn cat portraits.

When you commission a cat portrait from me, you are guaranteed a piece of art that captures the unique essence and personality of your beloved feline.

Why choose a portrait from me? My extensive expertise ensures that each portrait is crafted with exceptional attention to detail and artistic skill, resulting in a beautiful and enduring tribute to your cherished pet.
I’ve drawn cats of every breed, from shorthairs and ragdolls to maine coons, bengals, exotics, senior cats, and mixed breeds. Whether your cat is playful, shy, regal, or full of mischief, I’ll capture their expression with warmth and accuracy.
Because each portrait is drawn by hand, my waiting list is usually 1–4 weeks, depending on the season. Christmas is especially busy, so early booking is recommended — though I always try to accommodate important dates wherever possible.
Be confident that your cat portrait commission will be delivered safely, no matter where you are in the world. In the unlikely event your portrait is lost or damaged during transit, I will recreate the work at no additional cost to you.
For cat portraits featuring fewer than four subjects, no upfront deposit is necessary. For larger projects, a deposit ranging from 20-30% may be requested. Additionally, if framing is requested, the cost of the frame is collected upfront. No VAT will be added to the total. I provide clear and upfront pricing to ensure you know exactly what to expect, with no hidden fees.
Rest assured, if your cat portrait commission encounters any issues during transit, I will gladly recreate the artwork at no expense to you. Unlimited revisions are guaranteed to ensure your utmost satisfaction. Should adjustments be needed, I’ll continue to refine the work until it aligns perfectly with your vision. Your happiness is my priority, and if you’re not satisfied, you don’t pay.
My feline portraits and paintings are meticulously hand-drawn using top-tier materials, ensuring exceptional craftsmanship. Unlike digital reproductions, you’ll receive the original artwork—not just a print. With over 15 years of experience as a portrait artist (About Me), I’ve completed thousands of commissions and garnered hundreds of reviews. I encourage you to explore the testimonials in my Reviews section to see the satisfaction of my previous clients.
