Breeder Medallions
Made to Represent Your Program—and the Animal Going Home
Every example below is a photograph of a real finished engraving. Medallions can be designed around an individual animal and can also incorporate breeder or cattery identity when the design calls for it.
Portrait on the front. Breeder identity on the reverse.
This real MMCC set shows one way the concept can work: individual kitten portraits and birth information on the portrait side, with Majestic Maine Coon Cats branding on the reverse.
Personalized for Your Program
More Meaningful Than a Generic Take-Home Gift
Portrait From a Photograph
The animal itself is the centerpiece, turning a favorite photograph into an engraved keepsake.
Individual Animal Details
Birth dates and other concise details can be incorporated when they fit the design.
Breeder or Cattery Identity
A reverse side or related design element can reinforce where the animal's story began.
Litter-Based Projects
If you want keepsakes for an entire litter, we can discuss the photographs, personalization, timing, and quantity as one project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the medallion include my kennel or cattery identity?
Yes. The MMCC examples above show breeder branding on the reverse. We’ll review what you want included and confirm the appropriate layout before production.
Can each piece have different details?
Yes, when the design supports it. The real examples on this page show individual kitten portraits and birth dates. We’ll confirm the exact personalization for your project before production.
What about an entire litter?
Entire-litter and multi-piece requests can be discussed as a single project. Quantity, personalization, timing, and pricing are confirmed directly before production.
Do I need to join the Pet Partner Network to order medallions?
No. Medallion projects and the Pet Partner Network are separate options. You can ask about medallions, the partner program, or both.
Can I discuss a sample or proof before a larger project?
Yes. Contact us with what you have in mind and we can discuss the appropriate proof or sample approach for your specific breeder project.
