Eternal Memories, Mexican Art
Authentic Folk Art from Guanajuato
Cartonería is a traditional Mexican art form with over 400 years of history. Originating from Guanajuato, this papier-mâché technique has been passed down through generations, creating unique pieces that celebrate life and death in our culture.
In Mexico, the Day of the Dead is not a sad celebration, but a colorful and loving festival where we honor our beloved ones. Every October 27th is dedicated especially to pets, recognizing the unconditional love they gave us in life.
Each PetCatrina is a unique work of art, handcrafted over 10-15 hours by a master artisan. No two pieces are alike, each captures the personality and spirit of your pet, becoming an eternal tribute.

Share 3-5 photos of your pet from different angles. Include special details you want to highlight: colors, favorite accessories, unique features.
I create a unique sketch based on your photos. I'll send it for your approval within 5-7 days. I'll adjust any details until you're 100% satisfied.
I work for 10-15 hours on your PetCatrina: wire structure, 8-10 layers of papier-mâché, sanding, detailed painting, and protective sealing. Each piece is one-of-a-kind.
I carefully pack your PetCatrina with premium protective materials. Shipping with full tracking. Arrives at your door in 15-30 days depending on the model.
It's exactly like my Max. He even captured the special spot on his ear. Now he's part of our altar every year. Thank you for this beautiful tribute.
I was looking for something special to honor my Frida and found this. It's not just an urn, it's a work of art. People visit and ask about her, allowing me to share her story.
The craftsmanship quality is incredible. Every detail is cared for with love. My Rocky now has the memorial he always deserved. 100% recommend.
I'm Luis, a third-generation master artisan from León, Guanajuato. I grew up surrounded by traditional Mexican art and learned this ancestral technique from my grandfather, who learned it from his father.
Since 2018, I've been professionally dedicated to cartonería, combining the tradition of my ancestors with personalized designs that celebrate the life and unconditional love of our pets.
Each PetCatrina I create carries years of artisan experience and a love for keeping Mexican tradition alive. It's not just a job, it's my passion and my way of helping families celebrate the unconditional love of their companions.
