Illustrating the Heart of Veterinary Medicine

Our Story

At Paws & Poppets, we believe veterinary sympathy should be as seamless as it is sincere. Our premium cards are designed in Aotearoa by a veterinary professional who truly understands the emotional and physical pace of clinic life.

We’ve traded generic wholesale options for a Signature Collection engineered on high-absorption, quick-dry cardstock. Based in Auckland city, we blend empathy with a sleek, minimalist aesthetic. The result is a smudge-free, premium tribute that ensures your practice’s final word is as polished as it is heartfelt.

Meet the Team

Sorya

Co‑Founder & Managing Director 

Sorya leads the vision and strategic direction of Paws & Poppets, supported by a background in business and accounting that underpins the brand’s operational foundations.

Her work focuses on building practical, sustainable systems that attune to the realities of clinical life.

Vivian

Illustrator & Clinical Consultant

As a veterinary nurse and trainee medical imaging technologist, Vivian understands the weight of the “closed‑door” moments in veterinary medicine: the farewell conversations, decisions, and goodbyes that happen away from the consult room.

Her years on the frontline are the blueprint for Paws & Poppets. Her vision is simple: creating a veterinary aftercare solution that supports both veterinary teams and clients.

Dusty 

Purrsonal Meownager

Dusty is Paws & Poppets' purrsonal meownager. As a rescued kitten, he was returned to the shelter because he had "too much energy" for his previous home. This is a quality we now consider a job requirement for our moral support feline resident. 

These days, Dusty channels that enthusiasm into supervising illustrations, meow-delling for reference sketches, and ensuring no creative session goes uninterrupted.

Proudly Made in Aotearoa

Paws & Poppets is a Kiwi‑owned e‑commerce brand built on local and ethical production. Our head office is based in Auckland, the City of Sails. We work closely with New Zealand businesses to help strengthen and uplift our communities.
