you need more than a dot on a map.

The emergency

For the one night your cat doesn't come home.

She knows her territory, her regular paths and her routines. Most of the time there's no reason to worry. But then comes the evening she isn't waiting at the door.

6:00 PM
Everything as usual.
Your cat knows her territory and usually comes back on time.
8:30 PM
Suddenly, no sound
You call her name and walk the usual routes. No sign of her.
10:00 PM
You've looked everywhere.
Now a dot on the map doesn't help, you need to know where to search.
With petTracer you don't just know where she was last. You know where to search right now.
The same night

The same night. Two outcomes.

Both start with a missing cat. Only one gives you a way to keep searching.

    The app shows a GPS position near the main road.

  2. 11:10 PM

    You walk to the main road.

  3. 11:30 PM

    The app says: "last seen nearby – 1 hr ago."

  4. 12:30 AM

    You call her name. Nothing.

  5. 1:30 AM

    You still don't know if she's in a garden, a shed or a garage.

  6. 2:30 AM

    You go home. You don't sleep.

  7. You walk home exhausted, can't sleep, and wonder where your cat is.

  6. 11:17 PM

    The neighbour opens the garage.

  7. Your cat was in a corner of the garage.

    Quiet and scared. Now she's safe.

Finds where GPS falls short

GPS shows the approximate search area. Radio helps you find your cat.

Both live in one system: in the collar and in the HomeStation (finder & charging station).

How petTracer works

Smart technology with a smart app

The shock hits exactly when it matters most: unlike radio signals, GPS signals can't get through concrete walls. And that's exactly where missing cats often end up: in sheds, garages, or unfamiliar, empty buildings.

petTracer combines both and gives you, with GPS and radio finding, the best possible chance of finding your cat in time in an emergency.

Finds where GPS falls short

The difference between searching and finding.

GPS shows the search area. Radio helps you find your way to your cat. petTracer combines both into one cat rescue system.

Just in time

“Locked in the neighbor's basement — home again after 6 hours.”

Bella had been gone since the morning. No GPS signal — just the last known zone. Classic case: dense housing, lots of basements.

We walked the street with our phone until the radio close-range finding got stronger. She was sitting in the cellar compartment of an apartment building, where someone had left the door open.

“Six hours instead of six days.”

In the moment that matters

Real stories of outdoor cats who made it home again.

"Very happy with the pettracer…"

Very happy with the pettracer cat collar! Our cats accepted it surprisingly well right from the start! Great customer service! Every question was answered quickly, kindly and competently! A clear recommendation for anyone who wants to keep a safe eye on their cat!

"PetTracer — the best cat tracker"

PetTracer is the best thing you can get for an outdoor cat. We've used this unique GPS and radio finding technology for years. You always know where your furry friend is roaming, and recently the radio finding helped us find our cat, who we thought was lost, after 2 days locked in a garage, and free her safe and sound. […]

Klaus Verified buyer · DE

"petTracer collar"

I'm simply glad that my Timo has had the petTracer collar for six years now, so he can be located quickly at any time if he stays away longer than usual. Thankfully that's very rare, since he's a lazy boy who'd rather sleep than move. […]

Lydia Verified buyer · AT

"100% satisfied"

Our tomcat disappeared for over 2 weeks. When he came home it was clear we needed a tracker. PetTracer is super accurate, the safety collar is light, doesn't bother him and is packed with great features. Support is incredibly fast, friendly and helps immediately with every question! A clear recommendation!!!!

Melanie Verified buyer · CH

"Very helpful support, unique product"

Very helpful support, they always reply within a day. We're very happy with the collar, there's nothing else out there with GPS plus radio finding, so a clear recommendation.

Lisa Verified buyer · DE

"Great service"

Very happy with the product and service. My cat tolerates the collar without any issues. At the start I had a bit of trouble with the setup, but the service is great, very fast and extremely helpful. Absolutely recommendable!

Fabi Verified buyer · CH

"Simply brilliant"

I've been using Pettracer for my 2 Norwegian Forest cats for about 4 years now. I'm very happy, it works great. It lets me let the two of them roam freely with complete peace of mind, and I always know where they are. My two wanderers often lose their collars pushing through bushes, or sometimes in a scuffle, but that's never a problem, they're always found again, partly thanks to the light. […]

Nicole Verified buyer · CH

"I'm super happy with the…"

I'm super happy with the PetTracer. The tracking is very accurate, the collar is very light, small, has a light function and is waterproof. It also has a safety clasp. Worth every cent of the investment.

Alexandra Verified buyer · DE

"Everything works perfectly"

We've had two collars for almost two years now and are very happy with them. Everything works flawlessly and the cats don't mind wearing them at all. We're glad to always know where our four-legged friends are roaming.

FAQ

Still not sure?

The questions we get asked most often. For everything else, from tech to safety to returns, check out the FAQ page.

All questions & answers
SafetyIs petTracer safe for my cat? (radiation)

The petTracer collar doesn't emit any cellular radiation. Instead it uses a radio signal, similar to a baby monitor, with radiation levels around 100 times lower than a cellular signal. petTracer was designed from the ground up to put your cat's safety and wellbeing first.

SafetyDoes the collar have a safety clasp?

Yes. The safety clasp opens automatically if your cat gets caught on something.

TechHow long does the battery last?

Thanks to the SafeTrace technology, up to 30 days, depending on the mode (LIVE / FAST / NORMAL / SLOW) and your cat's activity. LIVE delivers a position every 15 seconds, SLOW every 4 hours during activity.

TechDo I need Wi-Fi for petTracer?

Yes. The HomeStation needs a Wi-Fi connection to send your cat's GPS coordinates to our servers.

MembershipWhy do I need a membership?

The membership keeps the system active: unlimited access to the tracking services, app and system updates, plus personal support.

GeneralCan petTracer guarantee that I'll always find my cat?

No GPS device can guarantee that with absolute certainty. But petTracer offers the best possible chance: you get to know your cat's natural territory, and with radio close-range finding you can even search areas without GPS reception.
