Elasta Cat® Reflective Safety Stretch Collar

I ordered three of the collars. They’ve got a great range of colors and the price is terrific. I used mine with the small Slide-on Pet ID Tag, which fits the 3/8th" collar perfectly.  Slide-On Pet ID Tags - Strong And Durable Stainless Steel My one-star reduction: Please note that there are no premade holes in the collar. You slip the buckle thing between the collar fiber wherever you need. I also removed the little plastic tag that says “Meow” with a pair of pliers as it served no purpose for me. If the collar is too long, you can always trim it. Once you've sized the collar, remove it and lightly singe the trimmed edge to prevent unraveling.The cats accepted these collars more quickly than the breakaway collars I've used in the past. No paws getting stuck when trying to pull off the collar. In fact, they're still wearing them which is amazing - especially for one cat who has refused collar and harness and has, therefore, been collarless for many years (he's 14 and very active).

Pros:Stretchy, comfortable, thinner than most cat collars, adjustable, sturdy nametag ring, strong buckle, amazing priceCons: None that I have foundThis is my favorite cat collar by far!! I have feral rescue cats that I care for & indoor/outdoor cats as well. All of them are microchipped when they are spayed/neutered...just so I know what happened if one goes missing. But even though they are chipped, collars are super important!! Animal control can see that a cat is not a stray, is domestic or is being taken care of. This means if there is an injured cat without a chip or a nametage, they will try to find the owners rather than take it to a shelter for just a few days.These collars are super flexible, super stretchy and reflective. People can see that the cats are "owned" and taken care of from a distance as well as if they are in the street, allowing them time to slow down.I can leave these collars on a little tighter than normal collars because they are comfortable, thinner and will stretch...easily slipping off over the cat's head if they are caught on a fence, bush, by another cat, etc. I find that by having a more comfy collar that stretches, I'm able to hold onto collars way longer than the normal nylon ones. We all know how expensive cat collars are!! The longer I can keep them, the better!It's easily adjustable. There are no holes, so you just slip the buckle in between the fibers easily and it stays put. Easy to size big or small cats. (I have an 18lb Snowshoe Siamese and a 5lb runt - so I like being able to buy one collar which fits both). If it's too long, I can cut the end off and burn the end with a lighter so there's no annoying flap hanging out.The nametag ring is strong as well as the buckle which is a must. I always add a nametag only with my name and phone number so I can re-use tags and people will call me saying they've found a collar...so that helps!I don't like normal breakaway collars BECAUSE some of the clips are so tight and not easily releasable, the cat can struggle and get injured while trying to break free. I like that it does not have a bell because I don't want predators to easily hear, locate and stalk my cats. I have coyotes, so I want my kitties to be able to hide and not be heard tinkling with every movement, signaling where they are.I LOVE these collars and never use any other. It's hard to find the stretchy collars nowadays, especially with all the glitter collars and prints/designs you can find...but they aren't as safe or as durable as these stretchy ones. Hope this helps everyone!! :-) Rescue on!! ^..^

I bought this after reading some of the reviews and wanted to give it a shot as my last two collars have either a) snagged a lot and looked awful within weeks or b) had the easy release clasp keep on coming open with the slightest jar or scratch. This one has not been lost nor snagged by my cat. It's nice and stretchy so I don't think he'll have problems if he does get out (he's an inside cat) and get caught-it slides right over his head with just a little tug.Edit: While this collar was nice at first, it lasted less than a year so I'm dropping my review from 5 stars to 3. I still liked the stretchy fabric vs a break away collar, the fabric has shredded. There are threads hanging out all over the place. I keep my cats claws trimmed and this is the first collar I've ever had this particular problem with. I added a photo of it, but it is a bit hard to see, but if you look closely, you can see all the shagginess and loose threads over the whole thing.

I have gone through countless (many dozen) break-away collars over the past few years for my 4 cats. Even the 'high-quality' ones have the same basic flaw: they are easily pulled off when a cat scratches its neck with a few quick swats. These 'safety' (i.e. elastic) collars are terrific:• They're made with a high-quality webbed nylon, and they have just the right amount of elasticity.• They are light-reflective at night (flashlight or vehicle headlights).• The 'D'-ring to attach your pet's ID tag does not have a gap/seam (like cheaper collars), meaning it will not fall off.• Instead of 'belt holes', you just insert the belt prong into the nylon web fabric at whatever location is right for your cat.There is one drawback, but it is easy to overcome:• The prong/buckle itself is not very secure, and it *will* eventually unbuckle. But there's an easy fix:• Get the smallest/thinnest zip tie you can find, and once you've fixed the buckle at the desired location, simply zip-tie the buckle/collar in place. (Then, just snip off the excess zip-tie flush, making sure to position the 'nub' of the zip tie away from the cat's neck/inside of the collar.)UPDATE:As some other reviewers have noted, the nylon is susceptible to fraying/fuzzing if scratched at by your cat. One reviewer mentioned applying a clear coat spray seal. I'm going to try that and will update my review.

This collar is exactly what I was looking for. It neither hurt my beautiful cat nor is uncomfortable for him (I know so because is the only collar he doesn’t take off). Is also very safe for him as I know he won’t get trapped and choke to death, that it was by main concern with collars as once it happened but luckily I hear him crying. The only downside side is that after few months of using the collar if wears off, it looks like I have been using it for a year! However, is still in perfect working condition and I wouldn’t change this collar for any other and if I have to get another collar if my cat looses this one, it will be the same one.

It's a good product, but even the large one isn't quite large enough.

Great product - quick delivery

A mi bebé le quedó hermoso, dude de la calidad por el precio bajo pero me encantó cómo se le ve <3 compraré otro para mí gatita tmb

La verdad esperaba que no fueran tan buenos por el precio. El material es elastico y resistente, mis gatos suelen jalar todos los hilos lo que hace que se vean desgastados rápido pero no ha sido el caso. Se pueden ajustar a la perfección y ninguno de mis gatos se ha incomodado por traerlo. 5/5 super recomendable.
