The technology of petTracer works anywhere in the world. However, petTracer is currently only sold within the UK, the European Union and Switzerland. Please email us if you would like to purchase petTracer but live somewhere else.
Tracking isn’t recovery.
The only device with GPS + Radio to help you recover a missing cat
80% of missing cats aren't lost: They are trapped
The truth about lost cats
Cats are clever creatures and rarely get lost. The real issue is that most missing cats are often stuck in places like garages, sheds or locked houses, unable to escape on their own.
Why is GPS not enough to find my cat?
GPS trackers update location at intervals to preserve battery life.
If a cat goes indoors between updates, GPS can’t penetrate walls and won’t record the new position.
In real situations, the last GPS location isn’t where your cat is trapped.
Radio works where GPS fails
Radio signals can penetrate walls, floors and buildings.
When GPS goes silent indoors, Radio continues to guide you, helping you narrow down your cat’s exact location, even inside garages and sheds.
Two technologies. One goal: Bring your cat home.
Radio finds your cat when he is trapped indoors
With the HomeStation and the petTracer app, you'll be guided to your cat, even if he’s trapped inside a garage, house or shed.

Frequently asked questions
We’ve got the answers.
No GPS device or collar can do this for certain. petTracer gives you the highest possible chance of finding your cat when you need to. With petTracer you will get to know your cat’s territory and favourite places. These are the locations where you would begin looking for your pet. Additionally, with our radio search technology you can even find your cat in places without GPS signal.
Thanks to our patented SafeTrace technology, petTracer provides up to 10 times more GPS positions per battery charge than most conventional GPS trackers. Depending on the mode you choose and your cat's activity levels, the collar can last up to 30 days. Here's an overview of the different modes:
FAST: Updates every 10 minutes when active and every 60 minutes when inactive.
STANDARD: Updates every 30 minutes when active and every 3 hours when inactive.
SLOW: Updates every 4 hours when active and every 24 hours when inactive.
LIVE: Updates every 15 seconds, regardless of activity.
A Wi-Fi connection is necessary for the GPS coordinates of your cat to be forwarded from the HomeStation to the petTracer server.
The HomeStation is an essential part of the petTracer system, included in the Starter Set. It serves two purposes: it acts as a charging dock for the collar and functions as a radio signal receiver.
The HomeStation receives your cat’s GPS coordinates from the collar and sends them to petTracer's servers, allowing you to track your cat’s location on the map.
The petTracer collar has a range of around 0.5 miles, depending on your location. Most cats stay within this range, and those that don’t return home are often not lost but trapped nearby.
If your cat goes out of range, the collar will continue to collect GPS positions, which will update on the map once your cat re-enters the coverage area. In case of an emergency, the HomeStation can be made mobile.
Simply configure your HomeStation with your mobile phone's hotspot and connect it to a power bank. This allows you to start your search from the last known position or by walking along the border of your cat’s natural territory.
No, you don’t. You can connect and set up your petTracer collar in just a few minutes using the petTracer app on your smartphone.
