WELCOME TO ADVENTURING WITH YOUR CAT

Please read these instructions carefully before using the Always-On cat harness. Having fun outdoors starts with understanding your cat's needs and providing proper acclimatization.

Prepare the Harness

This harness has been designed to allow cats to be the athletes they were born to be.

It’s light yet safe, so your cat feels nothing, but you maintain control when seeing them thrive.

It has been designed to be escape-resistant; it uses a tension system that restricts the cat the most when they pull, but leaves them freedom on their chest and neck when they don’t.

Unbuckle the straps and direct the buckles from the martingale system to the sides.

Introduce Head

Grab the harness with one hand and the other on the chest pad. Let it hang vertically.

Hold both hands at a distance that allows the
headspace to stay open.

Chasing your cat around can create additional stress. Ask your cat to sit and stay.

Tilt the harness slightly and introduce the cat
head first. Let the harness hang, with the side straps pointing toward the floor.

Secure The Neck

This harness is highly adjustable to make it
extra comfortable.

There Are 5 Adjusting Points:

(2) Neck Adjusters: There are two adjusters
on the straps that go around the neck. Adjust
those so that you can fit 2 or 3 fingers between the harness and the cat.

(1) Length Adjuster: There's a length adjuster right after the chest pad that will allow you to place the back straps right behind the legs. If your cat is on the longer side, slide the adjuster down so that the adjuster is right between the front legs.

(2) Girth Adjusters: These adjusters will
secure your cat right behind the front legs.
Tighten so that you can fit 1 or 2 fingers
between the harness and the cat.

Secure Sides

Clip the side buckles. They will likely be loose.

Adjust the length of the side straps so that they gently hug your cat.

If, when tightening the sides to the correct
length, the harness feels too tight, consider
loosening the cord stopper.

You can unclip the buckles to make adjusting easier (One side at a time).

Fit as Displayed

Check that the chest pad of the harness is not too close to your cat's neck, as this could cause suffocation.

This image will help you understand how the harness should fit your cat.

If the chest pad is too close to the neck, release the stopper and slide the chest pad down to the chest area.

The harness should fit your cat as displayed. If you have any concerns about the fit, you can always drop us a message or consult your veterinarian.

Congratulations! Your cat is now ready to explore the outdoors safely and comfortably in their new harness.

Remember to supervise your cat at all times while wearing the harness and never leave them unattended.
