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.

Returns
All Cheshire & Wain products are carefully made in small batches to ensure strict quality control. These products are being sold as 'seconds' which means they didn't meet our strict quality control measures. They will have minor aesthetic defects. Please note: We cannot accept returns on sale items.
If your item is damaged in transit or you feel it has a fault - please contact us within 48 hours of receipt of your order.
My cat has chewed and damaged their collar. Can I return it?
Unfortunately we are unable to replace or refund collars which have been damaged by your cat. If you have a cat that is not used to wearing collars and you are worried about how they will get on - please contact us and we will be happy to advise on how to ease your cat into wearing a collar. It is your responsibility to select the correct size. If there is too much overhang please exchange the collar for a smaller size.
A spot on flea treatment has damaged my cat’s collar. Can you send a replacement?
No. It is very important that you do not allow spot on flea treatments to touch the leather. The chemicals will react with the dyes causing discolouration that cannot be reversed. Especially on the Gold Caspian collar which has a foiled coating. WE WILL NOT ACCEPT RETURNS OR EXCHANGES ON COLLARS THAT HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY A FLEA TREATMENT.
Will Cheshire & Wain collars fit my cat? What if it's the wrong size?
