The Tractive GPS Cat 4 is a high-performance tracker for cat owners who want to keep a close eye on their feline friends. Using advanced GPS technology, it allows you to locate your cat in real time, ensuring you always know where they are and what they’re up to.
This tracker also helps you monitor your cat’s health and activity levels. Set activity goals, track sleep patterns, and compare their activity with other cats of the same breed and age.
With its unlimited range, the Tractive GPS Cat 4 keeps your pet safe wherever they roam. Create virtual fences around safe areas like your garden, and receive instant alerts if your cat leaves. You can also set up no-go zones, such as roads or building sites, for added peace of mind.
Built to handle all adventures, the device is 100% waterproof and shock-resistant. Its battery lasts up to 7 days on a single charge (usage dependent), giving you more time enjoying your cat’s company and less time worrying about recharging.
The Tractive app lets you track your cat’s location history, share access with friends or family, and activate live mode for updates every 2-3 seconds. Lightweight and compact, the Cat 4 fits most collars and harnesses comfortably.
The tracker works across New Zealand and in over 175 countries worldwide, thanks to its built-in SIM and partner network connectivity (cellular connection required). Plans start from as little as $9/month* with flexible options to suit your needs.

"GPS Inaccuracy and Poor Customer Service"
Posted byErin Martinon1st Sep 2026Originally posted on TractiveHave used the original cat tracker for 2 years. Continuously have GPS issues (e.g. not loading, incorrect location) and inaccurate notifications of my cat being outside the fence when he is right next to me. Tried the cat mini. Same issues. Now it won’t connect to the collar. I attempted several times to contact customer service but unable to submit a support request.
I’ve been using the Tractive Cat Mini for two weeks, and it gives me total peace of mind. The real-time GPS and escape alerts make finding my cat effortless, while Tractive nails the design, it’s super lightweight, waterproof, and has awesome features like WiFi power savings and built in night lights.
Bought a cat mini and subscription for our wandering cat after the air tag type unit we got for him proved unreliable - he does come back but he can occasionally disappear for a couple of days and tracking him helps provide some reassurance. The device works well, seems pretty comfortable for him and is accurate, but the battery life is appalling. It lasts about 2 days at a push and then has to be recharged making it a chore removing his collar and then if he disappears again it renders the entire exercise pointless. We'd be happy to get a second tracker unit to just swap out but you can't add more than one tracker to a subscription, so it means that just to function continuously, the whole thng is twice as expensive as advertised.
I've had a cat mini tracker for about 2 years and it has always worked well. I just got a second one for my other cat who started escaping from its harness. I somehow messed up my account and created a new one by mistake so I contacted customer care to merge the 2 accounts. I got a response overnight and everything was fixed immediately. I love my trackers and the peace of mind they give me.
The GPS location is not accurate and does not update even if the device is stationary for hours or days. The speaker is not loud enough (you need to be within an arms length of the tracker to reliably hear it). If your pet ever loses their collar good luck finding it.
