A good description of Crookshanks?

Hello -- newbie here.  I've been reading (and LOVING) the regular 
list, but decided this question was more safely asked on this list, 
rather than risk a howler.

I am wondering if anyone knows of a good drawing or description of 
Crookshanks.  From PoA, chapter 4, p 60 (US edition), we have "ginger 
fur was thick and fluffy, but it was definitely a bit bowlegged and 
its face looked grumpy and oddly squashed, as though it had run 
headlong into a brick wall."  There are also multiple references in 
PoA to a "bottlebrush" tail. 

I am asking because I would like to find a stuffed animal that 
resembles Crookshanks as much as possible.  My daughter adores all 
things HP, and also adores cats, which we cannot have in the house 
due to allergies (one of our DOGS is allergic to cat dander).  So I 
thought a stuffed version would be an acceptable substitute.  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
