Our verdict

The Breakaway Cat Collar is our pick for a cat who wears a collar and tag. The safety-release buckle is designed to open under pressure, so a cat who gets snagged can free themselves. It is made from 100% polyester webbing, with POM plastic D-rings and buckle and a copper bell, in XS/Kitten (6 to 8 inches) and S/M/Cat (8 to 12 inches). Wild One says it is for indoor cats and everyday use and not for leash attachment.

Why we like it

  • A breakaway buckle is the main safety feature a cat collar should have.
  • Two sizes cover kittens through adult cats.
  • A bell helps you keep track of an indoor cat.

Keep in mind

Wild One says not to use this collar with a leash, and to inspect it regularly for wear, especially around the buckle. Stop using it if it frays. Some sizes and colors are sold out at times, so check the one you want.

Who it’s for

Indoor cats and kittens who need a collar for a tag or a bell. Measure your cat's neck and check the two size ranges. Not for use with a leash.

Why a breakaway buckle matters

A regular collar can catch on furniture or branches. A breakaway buckle opens under pressure, so a cat who is stuck can get free. Wild One designs this collar for exactly that, with a lightweight polyester band and a plastic buckle.

Get the size right

Measure your cat's neck and compare it with the two size ranges. A good fit lets you slip two fingers under the collar. Kittens grow quickly, so check the fit often.

Our buying advice

Choose the Breakaway Cat Collar for an indoor cat who wears a tag or a bell. For a cat who walks on a leash, use a harness instead. The Wild One code from our page applies at checkout.
