OUR BEGINNING

It Started with Zozo & Yoyo.

Our story began with Zozo and Yoyo, two abandoned newborn kittens we found by the roadside and brought home.

We watched them grow from two tiny kittens into completely different personalities, each with their own expressions, habits, and little ways of becoming part of our everyday lives.

As they grew, we began to realize how quickly those small moments pass — and how much they can come to mean.

WHY ZOYOPAW

Some Moments Deserve More Than a Photograph.

Photographs capture how our pets look, but sometimes we want to hold onto more than a single image.

A familiar expression. A favorite pose. A funny little habit. Or simply the feeling of having them beside us.

That was the idea behind ZOYOPAW — to turn the pets and stories that matter to us into meaningful, handcrafted keepsakes made to be kept.

MADE WITH MEANING

Made by People Who Love Animals Too.

Today, we work with independent artists and makers who share our appreciation for thoughtful craftsmanship and the animals behind every piece.

Each portrait begins with your pet’s photographs and the details that make them recognizable — their expression, markings, colors, posture, and personality.

From vegetable-tanned leather to carefully selected materials, every piece is shaped, carved, colored, stitched, and finished by hand.

Because no two pets are exactly alike, no two ZOYOPAW pieces should feel exactly alike either.

GIVING BACK

Supporting Animals in Need.

ZOYOPAW began with two rescued kittens, Zozo and Yoyo. Their story reminds us that every animal deserves care, safety, and a chance to be loved.

As ZOYOPAW grows, we will dedicate a portion of our proceeds to supporting the rescue and care of stray and homeless animals.

Through our work, we hope to preserve the stories of pets who are deeply loved — while helping more animals find the love they deserve.

OUR PURPOSE

For Every Story Shared with a Pet.

Some ZOYOPAW pieces celebrate a pet growing up beside you.
Some are made for birthdays, new beginnings, weddings, holidays, and everyday gifts.
Others help preserve the memory of a companion deeply missed.The reason may be different, but the meaning behind each piece is much the same.
We create personalized leather pet portraits that turn the bond between pets and their people into something tangible, personal, and lasting.

Made for pets.
Made for stories.
Made to be kept.
