About Unifury
Unifury was started in 2014 by entrepreneur and pet lover, Lya Meyers. After a decade in the IT industry, he set out to find a more fulfilling career path. That’s when she decided to combine her love of creative design with her passion for helping people connect, both with each other and with their pets.
Today, Unifury offers dozens of different gift options featuring customized images of people, dogs, and cats.
Where are Unifury Products Made?
Unifury has headquarters in California, Vietnam, and Singapore. Most of the printing for products sold in the US market is done at their US facility. The products themselves are sourced from around the world.
The T-shirt I received, for example, was made in Honduras.
Who Is Unifury Best For?
Unifury offers a wide variety of products, each featuring a customized print or drawing. These pictures can be dogs, cats, or people. This is to say that the products from this company are a good choice for anyone who can enjoy clothing, a mug, a blanket, or similar items that bear the likeness of their favorite people or their pets. .
For cat lovers, Unifury offers many great options, from T-shirts that say “This Person Owns (here’s your pet’s name)” to coffee mugs that hand painted with your cat’s adorable face.
Overview
Here’s an overview of one of Unifury’s most popular items for cat owners, the Personalized Pet Photo T-Shirt. We will look at the options available in this product category, the print quality, the T-shirt quality, and the customizations available.
Product Options
Unifury has many different photo T-shirt printing options available. I chose the Retro Comfort Colors tee for the bright, fun background image.
Other photo printing T-shirt options include:
And much more!
The company also offers many special occasion T-shirts, including eclipse, Christmas, Mother’s Day, anniversary, and more.
Print Quality
The printing quality of Unifury shirts is very high. Colors are vivid and details are clear. And, best of all, photo prints look exactly like the photo you submitted.
Cropping is amazingly good too. You will never know that the portrait photo was taken from a photo with a background. I really enjoy it too, on the retro shirt, there is a shadow behind the image to make it look like a cat in front of the colorful background.
The print section itself is thick and seems to last. However, there are careful washing instructions that must be followed to ensure that the color and integrity of the image will stand the test of time.
Shirts should be washed inside out on cold and dry on low.
Shirt Quality
I was impressed with the print quality of this product, but less impressed with the quality of the shirt itself. Or, I should say, with the comfort of the shirt.
The shirt is thick and certainly well made, but it is far from the most comfortable shirt I own. The fabric is a little stiff and the collar is a little narrow. This is true even though the shirt itself is a bit long and baggy for me.
I think the main issue here is that these shirts are unisex. They seem more suitable for a man. For women, I recommend lowering.
The shirts themselves are 100% cotton and have a nice durable feel to them. I’m hoping that after a few washes, mine will soften a bit.
That said, I’ll still wear this shirt often because it’s so cute.
Customization Options
Most of the T-shirt products from Unifury have many options in terms of color and size. The retro shirt is no exception.
It is available in 21 different colors including some classics like white, black, and gray. And a few more exotic colors, including mustard, blossom, and heliconia. I chose blue spruce.
Each shirt is available in seven sizes from small to 4XL. Unfortunately, there is no extra-small option, which is probably the best option for me.

Main features
Quality Prints
These aren’t the iron-on photo print shirts you made yourself in your parents’ basement. Each of Unifury’s custom print shirts features a high quality digital print taken from a photo you submit.
Colors are vivid and details are clear. Thanks to careful cropping, the portrait cutout looks natural in the background and features impressive attention to detail with fur and whiskers extending outside the boundaries of the cat’s body.
Easy to Order
Unifury makes ordering your custom T-shirt or gift simple. All you have to do is choose your shirt style, choose your color and size, and upload a photo of your cat. Orders usually take 8 to 15 business days to arrive.
So Many Choices
With 21 different color options, seven sizes, and an endless list of different T-Shirt products to choose from, it’s easy to find the perfect custom gift for you or a loved one. And that’s before you upload a photo of your favorite furry friend to feature on the shirt.
Is Unifury’s Personalized Pet Photo T-Shirt a Good Value?
There are many companies that offer custom T-shirt printing but the quality can vary as much as the price. When comparing Unifury to the most popular photo printing services and their T-shirt options, I found Unifury to be a bit more expensive. However, the more popular printing services do not do any cropping of the images you submit.
Considering the high quality of the print and the detail that goes into cropping the photo to put your kitty front and center, I’d say the Unifury is a very good value.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I see proof of my order?
There is no pre-order proof option available for the Personalized Pet Photo T-Shirt, unfortunately. But many of the products offer a proof picture before your order is final. For products without pre-order proof, you can request proof to be emailed before the item is shipped by going to the Contact Us tab.
How long will it take to receive my order?
On average, apparel prints take 3 to 5 days to produce and an additional 5 to 10 days to ship, depending on destination.
Can I upload pictures of multiple cats?
For the Personalized Pet Photo T-Shirt Retro Comfort Colors option, you can only upload one photo because the shirt only features one cat. However, many of Unifury’s shirts are meant to feature multiple cats.
Our Experience With Unifury’s Personalized Pet Photo T-Shirt
When I found out I’d have the chance to get my hands on one of Unifury’s shirts for review, I was ecstatic—who doesn’t want a shirt with their cat on it!?
But I had no idea how much I wanted the final product.
The moment I opened the package and laid eyes on the shirt, I was giddy. There’s something very endearing about seeing your cat staring back at you from a piece of clothing.
What makes this particular product even more adorable are the bright retro colors in the background and the fun script spelling out the cat’s name at the bottom. It’s a lot of fun to look at.
The print quality is very high and I love that Makoa’s whiskers are sticking out from the side of his body. This combined with the shadow in the background really makes it look like the photo was taken in front of that fun retro backing.
As I mentioned above, this is not the most comfortable shirt I own. It has the stiff feel and tight neck of a T-shirt made for men. It’s thick and high quality and 100% cotton, though, which is nice.
And given how much I love the print of Makoa, I will still be wearing it quite often.
As much as I love this shirt, I can say with confidence that my daughter loves it even more. She’s so cute she gets mad at it every time I wear it. I just wish Unifury made shirts in kids sizes so he could have his own!
I am already planning to gift a Unifury shirt with one of my dogs on it to my husband for his birthday and will definitely keep this company in mind for future gift giving occasions.
Conclusion
If there’s a cat lover in your life, I highly recommend checking out Unifury’s Personalized Pet Photo T-Shirts as a gift option.
These shirts feature high-quality prints with well-cropped portraits that capture the kitty’s likeness perfectly. The shirts are available in over twenty different colors and seven sizes. Plus, Unifury has dozens of different gift options so you can find the perfect one for your friend, loved one, or yourself.
