The idea for the Keith the Cat shirt started with one simple thing: comfort. During my cancer journey, I found peace by imagining my cat Keith curled up on my lap, reminding me that I was never truly alone. I wanted to share that feeling with others, so the shirt was born.
Since then, it’s brought joy and encouragement to so many people. Some wear it to support loved ones with cancer, some to find courage in their own challenges, and some simply because they love cats.
This gallery celebrates that spirit—happy faces from all walks of life, connected by one very special cat.
