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.
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.

Why does my cat fall over?
Why does my cat fall over?
🎄 Embarking on a Jolly Journey: Most kitties have never donned festive attire and, being sensitive to tactile stimuli, may find their first harness experience to be a unique one!
🐾 The “Freeze & Flop” Phenomenon: When first wearing a cat harness, many felines perform what we lovingly call the “Freeze & Flop” - they might lay on their side as if immobilized by the Christmas spirit! Fear not, they're not in discomfort, and many are actually purring while they do this, perhaps imagining themselves sleighing through the snow!
🎅 Santa Paws’ Encouragement: If your kitty does the Freeze & Flop, give them some time to adjust and encourage them to move with gentle pets and soothing words. Imagine they're waiting for Santa and need a little nudge to go explore!
🍪 Treats on the Nice List: With daily practice sessions of 1-5 minutes, help them overcome their initial hesitation with highly attractive motivation (think of the yummiest treats) and heaps of praise. Most kitties quickly learn that they can still move freely and begin to explore their winter wonderland with curiosity!
🌟 A Holly Jolly Adjustment: Remember, patience is key to helping your kitty get used to their new harness. With consistent encouragement and positive reinforcement, they'll soon associate their harness with fun adventures and perhaps, dream of prancing reindeers!
Embark on a festive adventure with your kitty, ensuring their first harness experience is filled with comfort, encouragement, and a dash of Christmas magic! 🐱🛷🎁

Serenity who is nearly 14 years accepted the harness very well. I was surprised. I followed your instructions. I think Serenity enjoys taking me for a stroll now since I follow along behind her.
I bought this harness for my Minature Dachshund because nothing would fit her. When worn it doesn't bother her. It's a perfect fit
What a fantastic harness this is. I love the bright happy red. My last was black. Can’t wait to take her out for a walk with this one
She looks amazing in it
So very happy with my purchase
Thankyou Cat harness Australia
I had tried 2 other types of cat harness and he kept getting out of them. This one fits more snug and he enjoys his walks around the garden with it on.
He won't wear it, but made very well.
Let customers speak for us
from 1247 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 😅
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 😻
Purchased this for my kitten after a disappointing Kmart harness purchase. The quality is amazing in comparison. My kitten is much more comfortable and can’t slip out of the harness. I also love the colour. Couldn’t 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 it’s slightly adjustable in size so that it’s 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 quickly…we 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 pram😂
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 can’t escape. Worth it just for his happy walk. And he gets to sniff all the nice plants.
