there is a Creative View Studios on Facebook, but it doesn't look like the same type of art unless they've evolved quite a bit. They have no new posts since 2019 and their website is not working.

I found this one immediately when I googled Angel'ings by Creative View, made in USA Google wanted me to change it to Angel wings, but I didn't. The cat's face is slightly more turned.

My MIL gave me an angel shelf sitter but I never used it because I knew it would fall down. lol

Use museum putty if you find another.

I have not used them, but had found this place when searching for crystal repair.

My guess is that it’s special because it was your mother’s. Even if you find an exact copy, you will always know it wasn’t hers.

I found a dog on eBay, but no cats.

I agree with Maddie. I like Tigereye’suggestion to get it professionally repaired.

And so what if it isn’t perfect, it’s still the one your MIL bought.

I found a cow on Ebay. I would keep every piece I could find and keep looking for a restoration service before I replaced. If I couldn't fix, I would then decide what to do. I don't think I would want a replacement.

My mother repaired a tchotchke that had sentimental value. It was done by a. professional restoration service and wasn't inexpensive but she didn't do it for economic reasons.

I am not sure why you would want to replace something that is sentimental in this way with an exact copy. You would always know that it's not the real thing.

That said, I also agree with the poster that people don't "live" in objects. It is something that I learned after dealing with all the objects I inherited from my grandmother and mother. They were stifling me and so I released almost all of them.

It's kind of sweet, isn't it? Just how badly shattered is the wing?

(This isn't like all the objects we inherit that our grandparents picked up for themselves. This has a specific and warm sentiment attached to it and isn't like Great Aunt Mary's vase.)

There is a local antique store where a lady there repairs all sorts of things. I follow her on IG, and I know she could repair your angel kitty. Elana's Antique Restoration and her websiteElana's which is really just her contact information.

If she can do this, she can repair your heirloom.

How about re-building the shattered wing with plaster of paris, or similar? It'll never be the same special piece, but in repairing it you'd have the original, but with added love. We all develop imperfections as we age, doesn't make us any less adored.

To be clear, I don't want the tchotchke just because it is one of my mother's tchotchkes. I got rid of almost all of those long ago. I would like to replace it with another one due to the sentimental value it has, and I don't think there is some universal ethos that one must separate people from things. No they are not the same, but why should I separate my mother from my mother's photo or my mother's nice garnet ring, or her teapots and mugs, etc., etc., etc. I remember her whenever I see or use those things. I believe in conservation. I'm not under the illusion that holding on to things somehow conserves the person, on the flip side, I am a lover of story, history and antiques for the stories they tell.

That said, I also don't think this warrants searching to the end of the earth to repair or replace, but if it could be done without too much trouble, great. Part of it is wanting to keep looking up on the windowsill for another 15 years and seeing our little cat angel. On the flip side, I can certainly get over it if that won't be possible. Just wanting to try, that's all.

The link posted on E-Bay I found but had been bought long ago, and I also found the FB link but it doesn't seem like a viable avenue, totally different and doesn't look like they are a going concern anymore. Wondering about if there is a way I can put a flag onto E-Bay if something like this ever comes up. I have never perused, used or bought from E-Bay. I used to do Etsy, but it is a maze of everything under the sun now. And the search engine seems wonky . . .

I should have used museum putty, but this ceramic figure sat there for 15+ years without incidence, and my husband should have taken it down before he started with the whole TV installation. Part of this is just me being upset that the basic level of caution wasn't considered for my things vs his. If I can't find a replacement it's not going to ruin my life or even my day, rather it will be a wonderful and pleasant surprise if I can manage to find it. It's largely trivial, which is why I posted it on here, I'm not that invested in the outcome. If it works out good, if not, that's fine too. I had a feeling my best option might be just some simple restoration. It's just the tip of the wing that is shattered. Maybe I can even find someone around here who can do it . . .

With eBay you can’t put a flag, but you can save a search criteria. I have a mental list of things that I’d like to find and search on a regular basis.

How big is it? Maybe you can museum putty it somewhere high like a cased doorway or the top of a cabinet where the missing wing won't be seen. Cats and angels like to be high anyway...

I was on a window sill that was actually fairly high, a narrow window that was mostly for letting in light. Above now where the giant TV screen sits . . . it was the purrrfect spot! That's why it wasn't disturbed for so long, kind of out of the way . . . it's about 6 inches long, quite small actually, I cropped the image quite a bit, it was sitting on the kitchen counter when I took the photo. It was a very small discrete tchotchke, much like our beloved little white cat in real life (Kimba, named after the Japanese cartoon that came long, long before Simba) . . . one of the other reasons I liked it.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimba_the_White_Lion

Plink, I’ve actually fixed some less than valuable porcelain figurines with drywall compound. It doesn’t take a great deal of skill to glue together what you have as best you can (I use e6000), and then fill in with the compound. You don’t have to fill in all at once, but do it in 2 or 3 layers.

To shape the final product you can use sandpaper or emery board to get an improved shape. In addition, you can use a damp finger to sculpt. Since it's white you might not need paint, but I find the inexpensive craft paint work fine. After it's all dry you can come close to the shiny finish by using clear shiny nail polish. There is also a matte finish polish available if it were needed.

i've fixed bird beaks, tails, feet...it's kinda therapeutic.

Pictured below, the entire beak was missing.

Fori has the best idea, IMO. In your picture I never would have known a wing was broken because it was laying to the side. Put the sweet thing back and hide the wing behind it until you figure out what you want to do. I think it would be a fun do it yourself project!

Wow Blubird that looks great. Pink, you should try that on your cat.
