TabCat V2 Cat & Kitten Tracker - Best Indoor Cat Tracker

The TabCat V2 Cat & Kitten Tracker takes a different approach to pet tracking by using radio frequency technology rather than GPS, making it particularly effective for indoor use where GPS signals can be unreliable. The system includes a small tag that attaches to the cat's collar and a handheld receiver that indicates proximity through lights and beeps that increase in frequency as you get closer. Weighing less than half an ounce, the tracker is comfortable for even small cats to wear continuously. Unlike GPS trackers, the TabCat requires no subscription or cellular connection, operating entirely on its own radio frequency system.

However, the approximately 500-foot range makes it unsuitable for tracking outdoor cats that roam farther. The system comes with two tags, allowing tracking of multiple cats with one receiver, and additional tags can be purchased separately. Batteries in both the tag and receiver last approximately one year, though the lack of battery level indicators means replacements must be done on a schedule rather than when needed. For cat owners primarily concerned with finding their pets within the home or immediate yard, the TabCat V2 provides a simple, cost-effective solution without ongoing fees.
