Can anyone identify my lost cat pendant necklace - gift from my child from a charity shop?

I am hoping Mumsnet can work its magic in finding this exact model of necklace I have lost, which was a present from my son. He bought it for me in a charity shop in NE England and to make matters worse, he has sweetly said he plans to write to the tooth fairy asking her to “find” it for me instead of her giving him money for his next tooth! Aside from that being a bit heartbreaking, I fear his belief in the tooth fairy may be under threat if she doesn’t deliver!

• Approximately 2cm wide
• Dark silver/pewter-coloured metal; the coating was coming off a bit and it was more of a copper colour
• Openwork design: only the outline of a cat's head, not a solid face. Textured outline a bit like thin rope
• upright, pointed ears
• Two large, wide almond-shaped enamel eyes
• Eyes were a very bright lime/chartreuse green with black slit pupils
• Small metal triangular nose inside
• Pendant hung from a loop at the top centre
• the chin was rounded, not pointy
• Back was plain with no maker's mark that I can remember
• It may be vintage – I thought perhaps early noughties, but no idea really.

I only have a partial photo which I’m attaching. The overall look was minimalist and slightly gothic-inspired.

Does anyone recognize the maker, brand, or exact pendant? Hoping for a miracle against the odds!! I’ve scoured Etsy and eBay and Vinted, and tried reverse image search and AI search, as well as posting on a Reddit site for finding items (not much response).

Thank you so much.

Ahh! I'm so happy to see this all worked out! Still my proudest moment Grin I used the description to trawl ebay and filtered out anything new. Just got lucky! Must have been fate wanting to make sure it found its way to you!

And proud you should be! Maybe fate, but also such skill! Thank you!
