Losing a cherished cat leaves a quiet space in your home that nothing else can fill. From gentle lap companions to curious, larger-built felines, your cat was a deeply loved member of the family—and choosing their final resting place should feel comforting, straightforward, and completely free of worry.
At Rapt In Rainbows, we have put together this complete Cat Breed Urn Size Guide to take the guesswork out of choosing an urn. Whether you had a petite domestic cat, a majestic Maine Coon, or you wish to keep two bonded cats together in a single memorial, this guide shows you exactly how our handcrafted, 360-degree photo-wrapped urns accommodate your cat's ashes and treasured keepsakes.
How Our 3 Photo-Wrapped Urn Sizes Suit Cats
While almost all single domestic cats fit comfortably inside our Small Pet Urn (designed for pets 1–9 kg), many cat families choose our Medium or Large / Remembrance Urn so they can transform the urn into a complete memory box—tucking a favourite collar, bell, plush mouse, catnip toy, lock of fur, or clay paw print inside alongside the satin ash bag.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small Pet Urn | 1 kg – 9 kg | 0.549 Litres | 815 Grams | Fits 95% of individual cats comfortably, with room for a small collar or name tag for petite cats. |
| Medium Pet Urn | 10 kg – 24 kg | 1.546 Litres | 1.4 kg | Ideal for giant cat breeds (over 9 kg), two bonded cats resting together, or a single cat plus their favourite toys and clay paw print. |
| Large / Remembrance Urn | 25 kg – 100 kg | 3.168 Litres | 2.1 kg | Chosen by families creating a complete feline memory chest (ashes + blanket, bowls, toys, and framed paw print) or uniting multiple family pets. |

A Gentle Reassurance on Sizing Up ("The Keepsake Rule"):
You can never choose an urn that is "too big," only one that is too small. While almost all individual cats fit comfortably inside our Small Pet Urn, many cat families choose to step up to our Medium or Large / Remembrance Urn so they have extra room inside to safeguard treasured mementos alongside the ashes—such as a favourite collar and bell, name tag, a lock of fur or whiskers, a clay paw print impression, a small fleece blanket, or a well-loved catnip toy. Stepping up a size is also a beautiful way to unite two bonded cats in a single shared resting place, and if your cat sits near the top of a weight bracket, choosing the next size up gives you complete peace of mind.
