How to size your cat for a harness:
To fit our Catventure Cat Harness, start by measuring your cat and comparing with our sizing chart below. Having the correct size will prevent the cat from escaping. Our velcro adjustable cat harness is easy to put on simple adjust the chest strap first then the neck strap with their front legs in between. Ensure it is a snug fit, not too tight and not too loose.
The easiest way to measure your cats neck and chest circumference is with a soft tape measure. If you do not have one, you can use a piece of string or fabric then measure it up against a ruler.
To fasten your cat harness properly, there should be only enough room for a finger gap between the cats body and the harness. Their elbows should not be able to wiggle out of it if there is only that minimal of space. Please evaluate inside your home before your big adventure! Test to make sure you have purchased the correct size and that if you were to try get your cats elbow to wiggle out, that this won't be possible.
Before you get started:
If your cat has never worn a cat harness or a cat collar it may be a slow transition for your kitty so please be patient. Let them sniff it, inspect it, encourage them with pats and treats. We also recommend the process inside the home as it is easier to put on. More detailed instructions and tips can be found on our blog post here.
When your harness arrives, leave the cat harness out for your cat to sniff and inspect, place the harness somewhere familiar without invading their safe spaces. Once your cat is comfortable and has lived with the harness in their space, we recommend trying on the harness inside the home. Let them walk around in it inside the home before attaching the leash and taking your cats outdoors.
To get your cat into the harness, hold your cat and encourage them with pats and slowly fit the belly band around their torso with a finger of space between their body and the cat harness. Keep giving your cat some nice chin scratches as they may feel a bit strange. Once you feel your cat is ready, secure the neck band on with a finger space of room between their neck and the harness.
Many cats will fall over when they first try a harness because it triggers a survival response. It also might be from having the harness too tight. Help them overcome this with highly attractive motivation (treats) and lots of praise. Don't be disheartened if your cat does not take to the harness instantly. If you rush into it too quickly they may get anxious. Remember small steps to achieving those big goals.

We Support WIRES & Local Rescue Groups
We Support WIRES & Local Rescue Groups
We put our money where our mouth is, meaning we donate $1 for every harness sold to WIRES for the good of the Australian native wildlife.
Every year, WIRES receives thousands of calls for advice concerning interactions between domestic pets and native animals. Sadly, this is a common cause of injury in suburban areas and if the injured native animal is not immediately taken to receive veterinary care, the consequences can be fatal. Luckily, there are some precautions that can be taken to help minimise the risks of wildlife being injured, and to avoid unpleasant situations for your family pet. WIRES strongly promotes responsible pet ownership which is key to a safer environment for wildlife and for domestic pets. You can learn more through the link here. Â
WIRES have many initiatives including National Grants, Emergency funding, Landcare Alliance, Specialised projects (more recently Koalas and Native Animal Disease Research), Conservation projects and the Water for Wildlife initiative.
Through social media, there is even more visibility with the reality that cat rescue groups are facing. As a charity, cat rescue groups depend on community support to cover the costs of running the rescue. The costs include professional care and advisory staff; veterinary expenses including health checks, desexing and any necessary treatments or surgery; vaccinations; microchips; kitty litter as well as costs to promote their adoptions and welfare work plus administration costs.
Cat Harness Australia makes regular donations to a variety of cat rescue groups within Australia. We also exclusively wholesale to rescue groups and small businesses. By rescue groups having being a stockist of our products, their profit allows them fund the costs of their rescue.
If you are the owner of a licensed cat rescue group within Australia and you would like to become a stockist of our products, please reach out to us via the link here.

What happens to our exchange size harnesses?
Ever wondered when you exchange an item where does it go? We have made sure that if return shipping isn't a viable option that we put the trust in our customers to donate the incorrect size to a local cat rescue group. This recycling initiative helps make sure the barely-used cat harness is going to a good home and also encouraging future cat pawrents to walk their future fur babies. Once you have donated the harness onwards we will refund you your harness cost so you can place an order for the correct size.
If there are no local cat rescue groups near you, no worries! You can always return back to us at Cat Harness Australia HQ and we will do the donating on your behalf.
The current rescue group receiving our HQ returns are Kitten Sanctuary. If you are a rescue and would like to sign up to be apart of our harness donation program, please email us at hello@catharnessaustralia.com.au

I feel so much safer with this harness than other harnesses we've tried. The one-on-one online training via Zoom with Melina was very professional and took our individual circumstances into account. Excellent! Thank you!
After trying multiple other harnesses and several months of trialling to no avail , I purchased Adventurecat package to include training. As we were running out of time for an upcoming trip. Harness arrived and within 72 hours of the training I was able to take my boy outside on a leash. Every morning he now purrs waiting for harness to be put on and we goi for a walk outside.
Our little Indie suffers from anxiety. 2 weeks on and she has her harness on. She is doing the 'I can't walk or move' syndrome but we will keep trying to get her to walk. The training session was very helpful and we are on the journey to get her walking with her harness.
Thank you to Melina for ur advice on training an older cat to use harness even though I couldn't wait to give it a go. I wanted to make sure this option was going to work, and it does, my cat is venturing out by himself now. I am so happy with results from harness. Thank you recommend
Thank you Melina and Catventure team for providing this bundled product.
Training my 1.5yr old rescue girl was very easy because Melina made me feel secure and capable of following the training process, and the harness fits comfortably yet snug and secure preventing my furry little one from getting free of it (true and tested with my cat being startled by passer by in my front yard).
It appears that the cat laws are changing here in WA, towards cats on a lead or confined to indoors. I wanted for my kitty to be able to go outside and benefit from sunshine, fresh air, insect and bird watching, etc. This training package is a really good solution, and cheaper than a cat run.
My kitty looooves her harness which we use in the morning for about 30 minutes each day. She has become accustomed to the routine, and has taken to leading me to the harness and treats, requesting I put the harness and lead on her so she can go on her daily adventure.
Walking a cat is a lot less energy intensive than a dog. I am seriously considering training my other cats next!
Let customers speak for us
from 1282 reviewsWhat a fantastic product. Thank you so much. I got 2 harnesses for Carlos and Maisy. I've not long adopted them as a pair and I don't have the biggest place.
If anything I may have opened their world a little too much and are both now obsessed đ
Carlos literally took about 15 minutes to figure out what was going on and he hasnt looked back. Maisy is still very cautious walking too far but she can't control her purring whenever she is out. Next step is to get them out together.
We are having so much fun!
Also if you can please pass on a massive THANKYOU to Ella at Avenue? These kitties are so grateful đ»
Purchased this for my kitten after a disappointing Kmart harness purchase. The quality is amazing in comparison. My kitten is much more comfortable and canât slip out of the harness. I also love the colour. Couldnât recommend enough!
My new indoor kitten Rupert was desperate to get out and explore the great outdoors, so I decided to give catventure a go!
Rupert absolutely loves it, adjusted very quickly to the harness, and loves his daily walk in our backyard.
I walk my cat every morning and these truly are the best harnesses out there. Nice and comfortable and far more accepting for cats. So many people have stopped and asked where did I get my harness from. I've tried others but they don't compare.
My cat took to the harness very quickly, he was so excited about going outside, it very quickly didn't bother him at all.
He has a very long body and the harness felt very secure.
It's the best cat harness it only took 5days for my furbaby to get used to it and she loves it cause to her it means outside time now she brings it to me to put it on her
Perfect in all ways
Soft and secure and strong
Best best best purchase I have made
Suggest connecting with a short lead to protect your cat from birds and bees so by being close together you can protect each other together - team work
Bought this for my kitty Mushroom who absolutely loves to go outside. The velcro is super strong and keeps her safely in the harness, and the design makes it so itâs slightly adjustable in size so that itâs comfortable for her as well. Thank you !!
Chloe is very happy with her harness. Have tried several others which she hated but Cat Harness did the trick. Chloe got used to it very quicklyâŠwe were pleasantly surprised.
These are my Siberian girls in their XS and XL harnesses. The kitten is pretty new to it, but my other cat loves her outings. When I get the harness and pram out for a walk she gets so excited. She has never escaped the harness even if she tries to escape the pramđ
I initially had a bit of trouble with him when putting in and taking off. Now, he will ask for it! Despite many attempts, he canât escape. Worth it just for his happy walk. And he gets to sniff all the nice plants.
