Size Guide/General Advice

Size Guide

First of all please get a rough neck measurement of kittys neck size.

You can use a piece of string or something similar if you don't have a soft tape measure and then measure that.

The collar needs to fit snuggly but not too tight so that you can get at least one finger between the collar and kittys neck.

The collar should not be loose enough that kitty can get a paw under.

Young kittens should be supervised when wearing a collar for the first time.

Get advice from your vet for the recommended age to fit a very first collar, as each kitten will be different depending on size and breed.

Check the fit regularly as they grow so fast

Breakaway Collar Sizes

The tiny kitten size will fit the tiniest kitten (smallest neck size approx 14cm/5 1/2") and will adjust with a slider buckle to fit up to approx neck size 19cm (7 1/2") Max. (This size will even fit Siamese cats but please measure to be sure)

The medium size is a good choice for bigger growing-fast kittens and small-medium cats that the average shop-bought collars are too big for (smallest neck size approx 15cm/6") and will adjust to fit with a slider buckle up to approx neck size 23cm (9") Max.

The cat size is made for the bigger adult cat and will adjust to fit with a slider buckle from approx smallest neck size 18cm (7") up to approx 27cm (10 1/2") Max.

We can certainly make a bigger custom size if required (contact us for details).

General Advice

The minimum cat weight required to break open our buckles is around 4lbs, aided by the obvious wriggling and squirming that would occur if they got caught on something - we advise strict supervision when wearing a collar for pets under this weight. Always seek your vets advise for your kittens age/stage to begin to wear a collar.

Please note that collars with added decorations (attached flowers, wings, bows etc) may mean that the minimum size might be different than stated above - do check the descriptions for details.

It is the responsibility of the pet owner to ensure that the collar is fitted and used correctly and safely.

**Special note:**

We recommend a very simple, cheap collar for a kittens first collar as they WILL most definitely scratch and try to chew at it until they are used to wearing one. We find that removing the bell until they are a little bit older makes them less bothersome for the tinys. Obviously we cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by those little razor-sharp teeth and claws!

Remember to remove the collar when applying flea drops/flea treatments as we cannot guarantee collar colour fastness for use with chemicals.
