Safety You Can Trust. Comfort They'll Love.
Stop struggling with thin, flimsy straps. The Kitty Holsterยฎ is the #1 veterinarian-recommended, vest-style harness designed to provide the most secure walking experience possible.
Invented by a scientist, tested by rescues. As featured in Women's Insider.
Every order includes our signature training guide, "How to Train Your Cat to Walk on a Leash."
- Maximum Security Design: While no harness is 100% escape-proof for every cat, our unique wraparound vest is engineered to be significantly more escape-resistant than traditional H-style harnesses.
- Soft 100% Cotton Muslin Lining: Unlike rough nylon or mesh harnesses that abrade fur, the Kitty Holster is lined with breathable cotton muslin that protects your cat's coat and skin during walks, vet visits, or outdoor adventures.
- Even Pressure Distribution: No choking or neck strain. Our vest design spreads pressure evenly across the chest and shoulders with wide, adjustable Velcro closures that are gentle on fur and easy to secure.
