Tabcat
RF-based technology offers significantly greater accuracy than GPS cat trackers. The Tabcat Tracking Device not only identifies the house or neighbor's garden your cat may be in, but also guides you to their exact location with an accuracy of up to 1 inch.
Tabcat provides a range of 500 feet (152m) as a guideline. When locating through doors and walls inside a house, the range will be reduced. However, in an outdoor setting with a clear line of sight, the range can increase significantly. Since cats tend to stay local, if you are concerned about their whereabouts, take a walk around the neighborhood. Tabcat will help find them, even if they are in the neighbor's house.
No Monthly Subscription | 30-Day Money Back Guarantee | 2-Year Manufacturer Warranty | More Accurate than GPS | Lightweight Cat Tracking Device
NOTE: Tags and Handset not compatible with previous models, only Version 2 (V2).

Considerations in Choosing a Cat Tracker
Tracker Size
Small, lightweight trackers made from comfortable, smooth materials, such as plastic, are best for cats’ collars. A comfortably fitting tracking device is less likely to impede on your cat’s movement and will not weigh them down. Ideally, your cat should feel like they’re wearing nothing at all. Be sure to check the weight on the cat tracker you intend to purchase, as well as the measurements, particularly if you have a very small cat or kitten. Trackers tend to be large for cats but the technology seems to be on the verge of producing smaller ones, which will be easier for the cat to get used to wearing.
App Features
Cat-tracking devices typically come with a corresponding smartphone app, most of which allow you to view your cat’s location on a map in real-time. Some apps are more user-friendly than others; moreover, some apps include additional helpful features, such as the ability to make a ringing sound on the device, and even offer real-time support from veterinarians. Be sure to double-check that your cat-tracking device works seamlessly with your type of phone (e.g. iPhone, Android, etc.).
Range
Some cat-tracking devices feature significantly more range than others. For example, many have a range of a few hundred feet, which is great for knowing where your cat is within the area of your home, backyard, and nearby premises. Others offer unlimited range, which allows you to see exactly where your cat is no matter how far they travel from home.
Battery Life
Batteries and power come in many forms depending on the cat-tracking device you choose. Some offer a rechargeable battery, similar to a phone's battery, that will need to be plugged in and recharged every so often (this can be a few days or a few weeks, depending on the cat tracker you choose).
The other power option is a good old-fashioned battery; typically, cat tracking devices with batteries rely on small, flat, circular batteries, so as to not weigh your cat down and so the battery can fit within the small tracking device. Batteries generally offer longer-lasting power time, and there’s no need to recharge.
Subscriptions vs Non-Subscription
Most cat-tracking devices, but not all, require subscriptions to use the location services you’re looking for. Often, the subscription is paid on a monthly basis, though annual subscriptions are also an option with some cat-tracking devices. Depending on the number of features the cat tracker offers, the subscription price can vary significantly, so be sure to double-check prior to purchasing to fully determine what suits your budget.
