Common questions
- Is this actually personalized, or just a template?
- Actually personalized. We start with the photo of the pet you upload and generate an original illustrated portrait in your chosen style. Watercolor pet portraits are something families frame and keep — particularly for pet sympathy, where the illustrated portrait becomes a memorial. No template, no name-swap.
- What do you write in a Gotcha Day card?
- Gotcha Day is the anniversary of adoption — a real holiday in many adoptive-pet households. The card lands when it names the specific origin story. The shelter or rescue. The drive home. The first 48 hours. The pet they were vs. the pet they've become. Stuck? Tap AI Message.
- Can the pet portrait be framed?
- Yes. Pigeon Post pet portraits — particularly for pet sympathy — are often framed by recipients. The illustrated cover of the card becomes a keepsake on a shelf or in a photo box. The card's interior message and QR can still be opened and used too.
- What's the QR code on the card?
- Optional — record a 15-second voice or video message. For pet cards specifically, a voice memo (especially for pet sympathy) lands harder than a printed message — you can say things out loud you can't write down.
- How much does a card cost?
- $19.99/year subscription, then $1.78 per card. Your first card is free.
- Can I send the card without subscribing?
- Yes — your first card is free, no subscription required.
