When buying your kitty a collar for the first time, it can be tricky to know which size to buy or how to get the best fit. Here at Cheshire & Wain, we’re cat lovers who specialise in creating designer collars – so over the years we’ve come to know a thing or two about fitting your collar and finding the perfect size.

PLEASE USE THE ABOVE TABLE AS A GUIDE TO FIND YOUR CAT'S COLLAR SIZE. MEASURE YOUR CAT'S NECK TO CONFIRM YOU HAVE SELECTED THE CORRECT SIZE.
Use the below cat collar size chart to double-check your cat's measurement.
- Wrap a tape measure closely around your cat's neck and note down the measurement
- Add 2.5cm/1 inch to this figure to allow the correct amount of space between their neck and the collar for a perfect fit.
- This is your cat's collar size. (If you don't have a tape measure - use a piece of string and a ruler)
If your cat already wears a collar that fits well, you can take it off and measure the inside circumference when it's fastened on the correct hole to find out your cat's neck size.
Cheshire & Wain collars are not suitable for kittens or cats that weigh less than 2.5kgs / 5.5lbs. We advise that your cat is at least 4 months old to wear a Cheshire & Wain collar unattended.
If you're unsure about anything and need further assistance, don't hesitate to get in touch with us for advice.

- This collar can be personalised with your cat’s name or your emergency phone number.
- There is a 12 character limit (including spaces). If you want to add something longer, please get in touch, and we can advise if it will be possible.
- Choose from gold foil, silver foil or no foil (blind).

- This collar is made from luxury leather and suede.
- This beautiful and durable material will adapt with time as the collar comes into contact with the natural oils in your cat’s coat.
- Colour transfer may occur if the collar gets wet but the dye is harmless and temporary.
- The leather may become darker and richer through wear, as it matures with the personality of your feline friend.
- Hardware can be polished with a clean cloth. Brass polish can be used on gold buckles.
- Do not get spot on flea treatments on or near the leather - the chemicals will react with the leather causing discolouration that cannot be reversed.
