Below is a list of the recommended best cat collars for 2025:

1. Ancol Cat Collar Elasticated Soft Weave - the best cat collar based on 2024 sales and reliability data. This collar proves to be both highly comfortable for your cat, as well as increasing their safety. The stretchy soft weave material provides flexibility of fit, as well as ensuring an easy escape if your cat's collar gets caught whilst climbing or playing. Reflective strands are woven in for additional visibility at night, alongside a warning bell to protect wildlife. This collar covers all bases and is a great, simple choice of collar for your cat! Available in blue, pink, red and black. 

2. Ancol Cat & Kitten Collars - the second best cat collar based on 2024 sales and reliability data. Similar to their competitors, all of these collars include a warning bell to protect wildlife and reflective material for increased safety at night. Easily adjustable, and hard-wearing material - these collars are not only comfortable but are practical too. What sets these collars apart though is their break away safety buckle feature, that allows an easy release under pressure should your cat get caught whilst climbing and playing. Available in blue fish and red star patterns. 

3. Ancol Gloss Reflective Cat Collar - Ancol top the charts again with their more understated design of cat collar. With similar features such as a safety buckle, warning bell and reflective material, these adjustable collars boast a subtle gloss effect rather than a pattern. If you're looking for something plain and simple that still gets the job done, then these collars are for you! Available in red, blue and silver. 

Honourable mention: Ancol Kitten & Small Cat Collar - if your cat's on the smaller side, then these collars are a great choice; they are specifically designed with a thinner strap to suit kittens and small cats. And keeping up with their standards, these Ancol collars are finished with all the necessary features: adjustability, break away safety buckle, warning bell, and three hi-vis and reflective colours.

About this list of the best cat collars for 2025

Cat collars can often be overlooked, but are in fact an essential accessory that can help keep your cat safe, visible and discoverable. Consider adding an ID tag to your cat's collar for additional safety. When fitting your cat's collar, do so by putting two fingers between your cat and the collar to ensure it is not too tight around their neck. It is usually best to remove cat collars when administering liquid flea treatments or other medications to that area.
