Did you know? The first LaPerm kitten, named Curly, was born completely bald and only grew her soft curly coat several weeks later.
The three styles a LaPerm wears best
Chosen for this breed's build, coat and character — though all twelve styles are open to every pet.
From our studio notes: Those soft, ringlet curls have a dreamy quality suited to a gentle watercolor portrait.
How it works for your LaPerm
Upload 1–5 photos of your LaPerm — clear face shots work best.
We map their identity: exact coat colors, markings, ear set and eye color.
Your chosen styles are painted and likeness-checked against the photos, then delivered in hours.
LaPerm portrait questions
Will the portrait really look like my LaPerm?
Yes — that's the whole point of our pipeline. We build an identity passport from your photos (coat, markings, ears, eyes) and every finished portrait is automatically compared against them. If the likeness fails, we repaint before delivery.
My LaPerm has unusual markings. Can you keep them?
Unusual markings are exactly what we preserve best — they're listed in the identity passport and checked one by one in the likeness review. The white sock, the split-color face, the freckled nose: they stay.
Which photos work best for a LaPerm?
Daylight, eye-level, face clearly visible. For LaPerms, one straight-on portrait photo plus one from a slight angle gives the studio everything it needs.
How fast will I get the portraits?
Most orders are painted, reviewed and delivered within a few hours. Framed canvas prints ship separately within 5–7 business days.
