I know that the groups around HQ don't make cat collars, sorry. Possibly another TRPD group might, though. They need elastic inserts for use on cats, and that's too fiddly a job for my hands to cope with.

An alternative to elastic inserts is a fastening which will release if pulled sharply, hard to describe it exactly but that type is far safer than elastic for cats who may get caught up.

Yes the type Ruth is talking about here are the ones I use for my cats. There is no elastic on them but a fastening (something similiar to ones used on trpd dog webbing dog collars) that snaps open if pulled hard. As Ruth says, the collar will open and free the cat if they get themselves into difficulties. I think they are called 'snap release' collars. I'd definitely buy some if they were available here.

I would be very interested in safety release cat collars. I won't touch elastic collars with a bargepole after seeing far too many injuries from them (including little Fay the pregnant stray this week).

I have asked a supplier about these fittings but so far not been able to locate any, sorry. I'll keep trying.

hi all, my grandparents have just rehomed our stray, church cat! lol. They wanted to let her out on a lead for the first few weeks or so, just so she can get used to her surroundings. She may have been badly treated before - as she is very nervous and jumpy - especially when you make any sudden movements! She also doesn't seem used to people making too much fuss of her and she is only really a young cat. maybe just 1yr?! Anyway, with her being fairly jumpy and timid it isn't the easiest thing to get hold of her and put a harness and lead on her at present! we thought we should get her a collar and tag and maybe we could get a lead and attach that to the collar. However the collar seems to be a quick release type and therefore not suitable for that purpose! We thought maybe a buckle collar may be best for now while going out on "supervised/lead" walks!!! Help! Does anyone have any suggestions?! Thanks, Amy & Spike (& Charlie (girl) the cat!)
