St. Gertrude | Pest Management | Papal Grace | Sweatshirt

Forget the witch's cat. This one works for an abbess.

St. Gertrude of Nivelles was a 7th-century Belgian abbess known for her generosity to the poor, her hospitality to travelers, and her deep love of Scripture. Over the centuries, she became the go-to saint for anyone dealing with mice and rats, and today she's popularly honored as the patron saint of cats (and the people who love them). Her feast day is March 17, the same day as St. Patrick.

This design gives her a very official side business: Gertrude Pest Management. Licensed, discreet, effective, and serving homes, farms, and businesses since A.D. 659. Their mascot? A sleek black cat on the job. Our mascot, not a pest.

For the cat mom who'd rather call on a saint than a witch. Cozy enough for every fall day after Halloween, too.
