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).
Personalisation is in capital letters or numbers on the outside of the leather strap.
Please allow an additional 10 days for our collar personalisation service.
If you do not want to personalise this collar please leave the personalisation box blank.
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.
Processing Time
Personalised collars and engraved ID tags will be dispatched within 10 working days. Express personalisation takes 3-5 working days.

A distinguished collar for a distinguished gentleman…
My boy, Jerome David, couldn’t possibly look more handsome in his new collar. He came to us as a stray and now looks, and acts, like a little prince. Thank mew!

Beautiful quality and such lovely service
I ordered this collar and the gold engraved tag to match for our newly adopted cat. Beautifully made and they look really smart on. He also seems to be happy with his new accessory! I love a nice accessory for myself so when it was decided that we were adopting Pascal I knew he needed to have a collar which wasn’t just a standard one from a pet shop. I absolutely loved the range of colours to choose from. I am hoping a matching air tag case becomes available soon. The customer service was lovely. Sonja, thanks so much for being so accommodating with my order. Looking forward to our next purchase - C&W is an absolute delight to shop with!
Thank you so much for your lovely and thoughtful review and gorgeous pictures! Serving kitties is what we love to do best so I'm glad I could help you find the best collar for Pascal. The metallic silver AirTag case might work well with the grey collar. It's not exactly the same material of course but the silver one is the most neutral in terms of a colour match. I'll email you a picture so you can see how this looks together. We may do leather AirTag cases in the future, but the issue is the weight. The reflective material is super lightweight it makes the finished product with the tag inside as light as it can be!
