Tabcat is a specialist cat tracking brand operating since 2006, offering RF-based homing tag trackers designed to help cat owners locate their pets with pinpoint accuracy. Unlike GPS trackers that depend on satellite signals and mobile networks, Tabcat's patented RF technology works indoors and outdoors, in areas with no WiFi or GSM coverage, making it one of the most versatile cat trackers on the market.
The flagship product, the Tabcat V2 Tracker, features a lightweight tag weighing just 6 grams (0.21 oz) — making it suitable for even small cats and kittens. The handset can track up to 4 cats simultaneously, using distinct audio and visual cues to guide owners to their cat's exact location. With a quoted range of up to 150 metres (500 feet) in open conditions, and the ability to pinpoint location down to 1 inch, Tabcat is positioned as a more accurate close-range alternative to GPS trackers.
One of Tabcat's key selling points is the absence of monthly fees. Customers pay once and use the device for life, with no subscription or data plan required. The handset runs on a single CR2032 battery and tags use two SR1130 silver oxide batteries, both of which are user-replaceable. This makes ongoing costs minimal compared to subscription-based GPS alternatives.
