The Cat Gallery was set up by Peter & Alison Hanson in 2001. We gave up our 9-5 jobs so that we could share working in our own business whilst bringing up a family in the wonderful City of York. We set up The Cat Gallery after several years of struggling to find quality cat collectables and gifts. Stay up to date on the latest products, toys, announcements and more!

It's worth saying at the outset that Jellycat cat toys are in high demand and our stocks can get depleted quite quickly. Jellycat toys are bought by as many adults for themselves, as are bought for children! We see this every day in our York shop.

Let's take a look at the brand new arrivals:

At The Cat Gallery, we like to get out and about to discover other places with a feline theme. On a recent holiday in France, we made a bee-line for La Romieu in the South Western Département of Gers.
For a small village of around 500 inhabitants, La Romieu is quite famous due to its strategic position on the Voie Podiensis, one of the key pilgrim routes of the Camino de Santiago. A magnificent Collegiale church was built in the 14th Century and this still dominates the village. We were keen to visit the Collegiale but were particularly excited to discover the cat legend of La Romieu.
