I ask if they’ve had the cat scanned for a microchip and they usually say “what’s that?”.Ī woman called to order a collar for a cat that had appeared in her garden several years before. Meanwhile, the cat’s owner is heartbroken because they’ve lost their beloved cat.īecause we sponsor Cat Chat, we get many calls from people thinking we’re a rescue, wanting to find a home for a “stray” they adopted years ago. Yes! The problem with relying on microchipping alone is that many people assume that a collarless cat is homeless, start feeding it, the cat doesn’t leave, and they end up adopting it.
#SAFECAT COLLARS FREE#
With one of our quick release cat collars, the collar would quickly release and free the cat from danger. Another scenario is if the cat gets caught on something, it will struggle, twisting and twisting the elastic.

Even with veterinary treatment, sometimes the injury doesn’t heal and may require amputation. A cat can get its front leg caught in the collar, which can cause a serious injury. Elasticated cat collars (with an elastic insert or fully elasticated) – even if combined with a quick release clasp – are not safe. The quick release clasp opens quickly if your cat gets caught on something, preventing strangulation. There are many hanging hazards both inside and outside the home, so this is the only type of cat collar to consider. The safest cat collar has a quick release clasp and doesn’t stretch. We offer two types, Personalised Soft and Personalised Reflective. It’s a great alternative to a cat tag which can get caught on things and which some cats find annoying. Our personalised cat collars make it easy for you to be contacted because your phone number is printed big and bold directly on the collar.

Proper identification greatly increases the chances of your cat being returned to you. It needs to be safe (see below) and have visible ID.
