Thoughtfully chosen for your cat
Cat collars with personalised name tags
Choose the collar and name tag separately. Start with a cat collar with a breakaway buckle, then add a name tag and enter your engraving details. Check each product page for the available options and terms.
Pair a breakaway cat collar with an engraved name tag carrying your cat's name and your phone number. Clear contact details make it easier for someone to reach you if your cat goes missing.
When your cat explores
Why choose a cat collar with a name tag?
A cat may slip through an open door, follow an interesting trail or wander further than usual. A visible name tag shows that your cat has an owner and makes your contact details easy to find.
A name tag complements your cat's other identification. It should not replace microchipping and registration. Together, these measures offer more ways to reunite a lost cat with its owner.
A simple suggestion: Engrave your cat's name on the front and a current phone number on the back.
Choose the details carefully
Three things to consider
The collar, buckle and name tag should work together without feeling unnecessarily heavy or bulky.
Breakaway buckle
A breakaway buckle is designed to release under tension if the collar gets caught.
The right fit
The collar should sit securely without pressing against the neck or hanging so loosely that it can easily catch on something.
A lightweight name tag
Choose a size and shape that suits your cat and leaves enough space for clear engraving.
Designed for everyday life
Why the breakaway buckle matters
Cats climb, crawl and squeeze through small spaces. If the collar gets caught, a breakaway buckle is designed to release under tension so the cat can get free.
- Check the buckle before using the collar
- Do not attach a standard lead to a breakaway collar
- Avoid leaving the collar unnecessarily loose
- Check the collar regularly for damage
- Replace the collar if the buckle or material is damaged
Clear details when they matter
What should you engrave on a cat name tag?
Prioritise details that show your cat has an owner and help the finder contact the right person.
- 01 Your cat's name makes the tag personal and identifies your cat.
- 02 Your phone number is the most useful contact detail if your cat is found.
- 03 A second number can be helpful if there is enough space on the tag.
Comfortable and secure
How should a cat collar fit?
Check the fit when your cat is calm and review it regularly, especially for a growing kitten.
Browse cat collarsAdjust the collar around the neck
The collar should sit securely without pressing against the neck or restricting your cat's natural movement.
Check the space underneath
Leave a comfortable amount of space between the collar and neck, but do not allow enough room for your cat to slip its lower jaw underneath.
Let your cat get used to it
Start with short supervised sessions indoors when your cat first tries the collar.
Check the fit again
Inspect the fit, buckle, stitching and tag regularly. Adjust the collar as your cat's weight or coat changes.
For kittens: Check the fit frequently. Kittens grow quickly and may need regular adjustments or a different size.

Cat collars, name tags and engraving
Why should my cat wear a name tag?
A name tag shows that your cat has an owner and helps the finder contact you quickly if your cat goes missing.
What should you engrave on a cat name tag?
Prioritise a current phone number. Your cat's name can go on the front and your phone number on the back. Add a second number if the tag has enough space.
Does a microchipped cat still need a name tag?
A name tag can complement a microchip by making your contact details immediately visible. It should not replace microchipping and registration.
What is a breakaway cat collar buckle?
A breakaway buckle is designed to release under tension if the collar gets caught. Always check that the buckle works and the collar is undamaged.
How should a cat collar fit?
The collar should sit securely without pressing against the neck. It should not be so loose that your cat can slip its lower jaw underneath or easily catch it on surrounding objects.
Can a kitten wear a cat collar?
A kitten can be introduced to a lightweight, correctly adjusted collar under supervision. Check the fit frequently because kittens grow quickly.
