Best GPS Collars for Cats 2024

What pet parents say about Tractive CAT mini

"This app literally changed my life in the best possible way. The peace of mind it offers me is unparalleled and priceless. I went from being a person who always had at least a tiny bit of anxiety no matter what about how her life would be over if she lost her cat to a person who was like no longer subconsciously fixated on that and has way more brain space!!! Not to mention the interface is smooth and shockingly seldom buggy. I'm a tractive truther."

"Easy to install and easy to use. [The subscription] price is okay, [although I dislike] that only the basic subscription can be paid monthly. Anything more advanced must be bought at least a year in advance. Besides that, the tracker works very well in the open."

What pet parents say about Whistle

"Before Whistle, we tried another brand that had failed/lost connection and never alerted us when it happened. The other company's support was terrible. It took days, sometimes over a week, for them to get back to us about our recurring issues. Although we were not given any kind of refund for their faulty product or subscription fee, we decided to invest in Whistle. It's all worth it to keep our little one safe!

When we received our collar from Whistle, it was just a little too big, but they were quick to send out a new collar. Their support team was fantastic to work with. It's really easy to swap out the battery when it gets low - you'll get an alert. The extra health stats are interesting, too. We highly recommend Whistle!"

What pet parents say about Cube

"My cat has been wearing this tracker on his collar for 9 months. It's easy to pinpoint his whereabouts, because it reports the address of the house he's strolling past, or visiting. It's very reliable in tracking him and Reporting. The only downside is the unit is rather large and weighs his collar down. It's heavy and swings to a point, under his , and beneath his neck. Luckily he's a rather large cat, so he can handle this extra heaviness."

What pet parents say about Girafus Pro-Track 

"If you have a sneaky little dog like mine that's really good at hide and seek (And sometimes isn't even in the house!), this is a great way to keep track of your pet (dog or cat). She wears a cat collar with Beau's Bells (Also purchased on Amazon) on it, so my family has two ways of keeping track of her now. Thankfully, she hasn't managed to sneak out of the house again, but this "Cat Tracker" so far has reduced a game of "hide and seek" from 10 minutes and over to less than 5 minutes.

To bring up some slight negatives but not enough to take away a star, it's a little expensive, but compared to other means of tracking your small pet (assuming they're an indoor pet), it's the least expensive option I've seen with the bonus of being simple to use and effective. The fact you have to change and charge the rechargeable battery (LIR2032H) that goes inside of the tracker tag every 5 days (the instructions say if the battery is 100% drained, it becomes unchargeable) is very annoying, and some people may even forget to do this critical step. However, I just put a reminder on my calendar so I don't forget, and I plan on purchasing more batteries, so I always have a charged battery for my pet's tracker tag (You can buy them on Amazon). I can't comment on its durability yet since it hasn't even been a week since I got it.

The only nitpick I have is that the screws that come with it are really TINY (There is some assembly required.). I wished it came with a tiny bag to hold them (like a really small sandwich bag or something) because they are definitely small enough to get lost themselves. To fix this issue myself, I just used the smallest snack bag I had to hold them.

Overall, (just to never have to play my dog's games again) WORTH IT."

What pet parents say about Marco Polo

"Great for fringe areas and does not require cell towers/wifi/crowds. If there's a natural disaster, I'd rather have this product than rely on cell reception anyway. Live by the beach in densely populated area but range is still spotty, so it's been a good purchase that should last a long time. My cat likes the collar. Gets excited and purrs when I offer it. Doesn't mind wearing it throughout the day. It doesn't work as well as I'd like in areas with lots of buildings and brick walls, but that's obvious and true for any product like this. Raising it higher helps. The instructions were very good. Read the instructions and you're good. It's perfect for my needs on the Monitor mode because the threshold is my driveway when I store it in the kitchen (it's based on radius I think), so it beeps at the right time. I chose this over the latest app-based tech offerings and would choose it again because it's more effective and will last many years [with] old-school (stable/reliable) technology."
