Remember, cat microchips can’t help you actively locate a lost cat. But a GPS cat tracker can do just that. Simply:

  1. Get your cat a GPS cat tracker.
  2. Charge it, turn it on and attach it to your cat’s safety collar.
  3. Set up a Virtual Fence around safe and no-go areas – get alerts if they exist or enter an area.
  4. Let your cat do their thing and check on where they are anytime in the app.
  5. When you need to find your cat fast, activate LIVE Tracking, or turn on the light or sound feature.
  6. Go to your kitty – or let them come to you.

Reason #3 – A GPS cat tracker might just save your cat’s life.

The benefits of a GPS cat tracker go beyond being able to track your cat for fun or peace of mind. A GPS cat tracking device could actually save your cat’s life. Being the makers of the world’s most trusted GPS trackers for cats, we’ve heard stories aplenty of cats being saved from life-threatening situations thanks to their GPS tracker. Take Oscar’s story for example:

“On Tuesday, Oscar jumped into a car and was thrown out 19 km from home. I got the message that he had left his safe zone and I panicked because I did not recognise the street names. I could see his panic as well because he was running around. We jumped in the car and drove to where he was. We found him, exactly where his Tractive showed us. A happy cat jumped into my arms. I cried and felt so happy because of Tractive. Without his GPS tracker, we wouldn’t have found him.“

Since GPS works all over the world, you can find your cat virtually everywhere – no matter where they go missing. Outdoor cats living their best lives face dangers – including predators, other cats, injury, disease, toxic plants, cars and even just places where they could easily get stuck. If your cat comes into harm’s way, you’ll be able to find and rescue them in life-saving time with a GPS cat tracker.

Here’s another story of how Tractive saved a precious feline life:

And another…

A cat sitting under a car

“Tractive literally saved my cats life. Last night she didn’t come home – we went looking for her and searched the area that Tractive pointed us to. We found her – she’d been hit by a car and was curled up soaked and filthy in a bush but alive. Without Tractive we would have never found her and there is no way she’d have survived.”
