$64.99 · 8.5-inch square hardcover Free U.S. shipping
Meet Jasper, our fictional American Shorthair star. Illustrative sample cover; your cover is painted from your own pet’s photo.
The details that make them yours
Their face. Their name. Your favorite character.
It could be the swirls along the side, a pale chin or the little shape above the eyes. The coat gets described in a few words, but you recognize your own cat in an instant. Your photograph gives the artwork those particular markings and proportions as its reference.
The story behind this cover
The Great Adventure of Jasper
This gentle quest turns a familiar household companion into a hero beyond the garden gate. The story has a stream to cross, a duckling to help and a warm homecoming. Pick it for a child who likes a short adventure with a kind heart.
Your pet crosses stream and meadow to help a lost duckling find its family — a big, kind-hearted daytime quest where the bravest thing anyone does is keep going.
The book page shows other sample pets. Yours will star in your copy.
Existing interior sample with a different pet. Same story; your pet becomes the hero.
A gift with their name all over it
For the cat who makes ordinary days worth remembering.
The most meaningful pet gift does not have to mark a grand occasion. A personalized American Shorthair storybook can celebrate the small daily companionship that matters to someone you love. Their own cat on the cover makes that intention easy to understand.
Choose it for a cat parent's birthday or a child who would happily hear another story about the family pet. A dedication can mention the window seat, the welcome home or the shared routine that inspired you. The book tells an imagined adventure; your note can tell the recipient why you chose it.

How to choose your American Shorthair’s photo
01
Show the pattern as well as the face
If your cat has striking side markings, a three-quarter pose can show them along with the eyes. A face-only crop may miss the coat detail you most want reflected. Leave enough room to see the chest and part of the body.
02
Keep stripes and swirls sharp
Fine markings can blur in a dim indoor snapshot. Choose a clear photo in gentle light, without a filter that deepens dark stripes or washes out pale fur. The best reference preserves the contrast you see on your own cat.
03
Use one unmistakable subject
Choose an image of your cat alone with the head unobstructed. A group photo can make it less clear which pet should become the hero. You can keep the more complicated family moment for a dedication instead of the illustration reference.
Before you make their book
Your American Shorthair book questions
Does my American Shorthair have to be a silver tabby?
No. Jasper is a fictional silver-tabby example. Your own pet's photo supplies the coloring and markings for their illustration. Choose a clear image in natural light and check the free preview before you decide to order.
Can I make a book if my cat is a domestic shorthair or mixed breed?
Yes. You do not need a pedigree to personalize a book. American Shorthair is a specific breed, while domestic shorthair describes many other cats; either can star because the illustration begins with your individual pet's photo.
What do I need to make a free cover preview?
Choose a clear photo of your cat, enter their name and add your email. No card or account is required for the cover preview. You can see the painted cover before ordering; the complete book is made after purchase.
What will I receive, and what does it cost?
A 24-page, 8.5-inch square hardcover, personalized with your pet's name and illustrated likeness. This story costs $64.99. Free U.S. shipping. The free preview shows your cover; the full book is made after purchase. Check delivery estimates at checkout when buying for a particular date.
