🐾 Where It All Began

Curepaw was born out of love, loss, and the search for healing.
In April 2021, Leonzo’s beloved tabby cat Figaro passed away. The silence left in Figaro’s absence was deeper than words could capture. Searching for comfort, Leonzo discovered something profound: while nothing could replace the presence of a pet, art could preserve memory in a form that felt alive—something to hold, something to see, something to heal with.

This realization connected him with Erika and Sheridan, two friends who also believed in the power of handmade art to speak where language cannot. What began as a small idea among three friends grew into a heartfelt mission:
👉 to create keepsakes that honor the unbreakable bond between people and their pets.

🎨 The Makers Behind Curepaw

Curepaw is not a factory, but a team of artists and friends—each bringing their own background, craft, and love for animals into the work.

✨ Erika (1998) – A licensed counselor and artist, Erika bridges mental wellness and creativity. With her cats Martini (Abyssinian) and Cora (black cat) by her side, she understands the deep emotions behind saying goodbye to a pet. Her needle-felted creations carry both precision and empathy, making them more than art—they are vessels of memory.

✨ Leonzo (1994) – An electrical engineer by training, Leonzo is a craftsman at heart. He creates with leather, oil paint, and silver, finding peace in materials shaped by hand. After losing Figaro, his journey transformed grief into purpose. Today, his Saluki dog Aperol reminds him daily of the quiet companionship that inspired Curepaw’s beginning.

✨ Sheridan (2001) – A high school art teacher who loves origami, embroidery, and silversmithing. Sheridan brings patience, warmth, and youthful creativity to every piece she makes. Her Bengal cat, Karen, fuels her imagination and her understanding of pets’ vibrant personalities.

Together, we are Curepaw—a team guided not by trends or mass production, but by authenticity, compassion, and the spirit of handmade craft.

🌏 From One Story to Many

Since our first memorial, Curepaw has grown into a collective of skilled artisans, each dedicated to preserving the memory of pets worldwide. In just four years, we have created more than 1,600 unique works—from needle-felted sculptures and hand-painted portraits, to keepsakes that families hold close to their hearts.

Every piece is shaped by human hands, never machines. Each strand of wool, each brushstroke of paint, carries the intention of love, remembrance, and healing.

The messages we receive—filled with tears, smiles, and gratitude—remind us that Curepaw’s creations are not simply objects. They are extensions of love.

💌 Our Mission

At Curepaw, we believe pets are not just animals—they are family.
When the time comes to say goodbye, love does not vanish. It transforms into memory, into stories, into the keepsakes we hold.

Our mission is to capture that love in a tangible, authentic form—whether through felt, paint, leather, or silver—so that pet families around the world can find comfort, remembrance, and joy.

Every stitch of wool. Every brush of paint. Every handmade detail.
This is our promise:
👉 Your bond deserves to be remembered.
