At what age can a kitten wear a collar?
The Feline Advisory Bureau recommends waiting until a kitten is 6 months or older before fitting a collar. The smallest adjustment on all of our collars is about 20 cm which tends to fit from about 6 months, but it depends on the size and breed. For your kitten’s safety and comfort, it’s important to wait until the collar fits properly. With kittens, you should be able to fit only 1 to 2 fingers (flat) between the collar and the neck. We haven’t found a safe collar for younger/smaller kittens. Kittens grow very quickly, so check the collar weekly and adjust as needed. Our personalised cat collars are wonderful for kittens because they’re so soft and comfortable, and there’s no need for a cat tag. It’s a good idea to get your kitten used to wearing a collar before she starts going outside, but again please make sure that it fits properly. The Feline Advisory Bureau has published an excellent article on kitten care which includes a section on collars.
