When your cat doesn’t come home

EVERY SECOND COUNTS!

Basement, garage, shed, garden or under the car: without knowing the direction, you lose valuable time.

  • Calling and searching gets you nowhere.
  • Your cat may be just a few metres away.
  • Walls and enclosed spaces make a visual search impossible.

Then MiauFinder is the right cat tracking device for you: using radio signals, independently of mobile networks. The signal shows you the way to your cat.

Simple, not complicated

3 steps to your cat

The receiver shows you the direction and signal strength. Step by step, you move closer to the transmitter on the collar.

Touchscreen, direction and audible signal

The receiver has a touchscreen with easy menu navigation. Follow the direction and signal strength towards the transmitter. An audible signal also helps guide you.

Temperature display: a clue to whether your cat is indoors or outside

The transmitter sends the temperature at your cat’s location. The temperature gives you a clue as to whether your cat is in a cool basement, a heated room or in the sun.

Invisible fence with an alarm

The “Invisible Fence” feature and the receiver’s alarm let you monitor a home zone. You’ll find the settings in the receiver’s menu.

Keep an eye on the transmitter’s battery

The receiver displays the transmitter’s battery level, so you can replace the CR2032 battery in time. Depending on usage, battery life is up to three months.

Small, rain-resistant cat transmitter

The transmitter weighs just 12 g including its battery and measures 31 × 18.5 × 15.5 mm. Attach it to the cat collar of your choice. It is robust and splash-resistant.

Works everywhere, even where GPS does not – range up to 1.5 km

Works worldwide – in woodland or a basement. The range is up to 1,500 m with a clear line of sight. Range depends on the number of obstacles between the transmitter and receiver. Range is lower in a city than in the countryside. Radio tracking is also possible in basements or garages. A radio signal is always transmitted. You don’t need a mobile network, internet connection or smartphone app.

Radio tracking instead of GPS

When your cat is nearby, direction matters.

MiauFinder uses radio tracking rather than GPS. It is designed to guide you towards your cat’s radio signal – independently of mobile networks and subscriptions.

Frequently asked questions

Not sure whether MiauFinder is right for you?

Here are answers to the most important questions before you buy.

Is a mobile network needed for tracking?

No. MiauFinder uses radio signals and works independently of mobile networks, without a smartphone app.

How long does the transmitter’s battery last?

Depending on usage, the transmitter’s battery lasts up to around three months.

What is the tracking range?

Up to 1,500 m in open terrain. Actual range depends on buildings and the surroundings. Walls, buildings and dense vegetation can reduce it.

What should I do if no signal is shown?

Change your location and also try searching from a higher, safely accessible spot, such as a balcony. If the transmitter is outside the current radio range, the receiver will not show a direction. Move closer to the area where your cat might be.

Does tracking work in houses or basements?

Yes. Radio tracking can be especially helpful for nearby hiding places such as a basement, garage or shed. Walls and ceilings can weaken the signal; range depends on the building.

How is MiauFinder different from a GPS tracker?

There is no subscription or reliance on mobile networks. Instead of a position on a map, the receiver shows you the direction and signal strength towards the transmitter.

Can I track several cats individually?

Yes. One receiver supports up to 10 transmitters with different IDs. Select the cat you want to find. One transmitter is included in the set; for each additional cat you need an additional transmitter. The transmitter only works with a MiauFinder receiver.

How long is the warranty?

You receive a 24-month warranty from the purchase date for defects in materials and function. You can find further warranty details on the product page.

Are there any ongoing costs?

There is no subscription or mobile contract. You pay for the set once. Used batteries need replacing; additional cats require extra transmitters.

Can I use MiauFinder when travelling?

Tracking does not depend on mobile networks or roaming. When using it abroad, please observe the radio approvals that apply to the device. Actual range also depends on the surroundings there.

Is the transmitter protected against water?

The transmitter is splash-resistant and robust enough for the everyday life of an outdoor cat.
