Our cat tends to go through her collars, and the associated engraved tags attached to them.  Unfortunately its around $30-$40+ for replacements depending where you go.

 

I tried some cheapies from the internet but they were crap, and the quick release that is meant to snap the collar off if the cat gets caught up on something didn't always release.

 

Does anyone know a good source of cat collars that aren't too expensive, and hopefully also a source for engraved tags too?  I don't mind slow shipping or anything.  I just don't want junk again and definitely don't want to find my cat hanging from a tree if the quick release isn't actually a quick release.

For pet tags - Laserlinx

 

Cost effective and the stainless steel tags are very robust.

 

For collars we just get the breakaway collars from the Warehouse for around $4 each, they seem to be fine with our cat.

I think the anodised aluminium ones would be lighter on the cat than stainless steel. Kmart have a range of pet toys and equipment also.

We got some engraved collars for our (small) dogs from AliExpress. I'm sure there will be cat versions too, otherwise the tiny dog ones would work.

its a matter of a few grams, likey more variation in different collars than in the ID tag.
