Our Story

Resurrected by a stubborn little cat

Retro Reverence came back to life because of Pookah — a medically complex cat who survived IMHA, three blood transfusions, pneumonia and a whole lot more. Sitting beside him, I kept thinking about how deeply we love these creatures and how much we long to hold onto them.

Every scene begins as my own original idea. AI-assisted compositing places your pet into it, then I retouch every detail by hand and personally approve each portrait before it leaves my desk. The technology saves hours; the eye and the care are human.
