What Colour Collar Should I Get for My Cat?

August 9, 2024

When we first started Jensons, we had a simple mission: to create comfortable, durable, and safe cat collars that incorporate earth tones to compliment our fur babies' markings without detracting from them. We still stand firmly by that mission, although we have since introduced some subtle colours that we believe remain true to our earthy roots and neutral designs. Enter our blueberry, honey, and olive cat collars, don’t they sound delicious? They are!

So, how do you highlight your beautiful kitty’s markings and colourings by choosing a collar that enhances their unique features? Start by considering your cat’s fur colour, eye colour, and even their cute little toe beans! You might also want to think about their personality, is there a colour that truly captures their essence?

All of the below featured collars are Jensons breakaway cork leather cat collars; click to shop the full range: Jensons Breakaway Cat Collars. And of course, it goes without saying that any kitty can wear any colour, and they’ll look super beautiful doing so too.♡

Calico and Tortoiseshell Kitties 

What colour collar should I get for my cat? Biscuit, Chestnut, and Barley

Our calico and tortoiseshell babies are blessed with a pretty coat of caramel, orange, brown, black, and white tones, creating a beautiful blend of rich, earthy colours. To complement their unique and vibrant coats, our breakaway cat collars in chestnut and biscuit are the perfect addition. These colour collars are a match made in heaven for calico and tortoiseshell kitties, accentuating their warm, orangey hues and seamlessly blending with their natural beauty.

Calico and tortoiseshell kitties are full of character! They're often feisty and independent, with a bit of sass that makes them stand out. These cats know what they want and aren’t afraid to let you know. While they can be super affectionate, they like to decide when it’s cuddle time. Their playful and quirky nature perfectly matches their beautiful, colourful coats.

A tortoiseshell cat mum's review of our breakaway cat collar in chestnut: “Lovely little collar which matches my tortoiseshell cat perfectly. I asked for a specific colour and the owner was able to send this out no problem! Many thanks for such a beautiful item!”

House Tigers aka Tabby Kitties 

What colour collar should I get for my cat? Olive, Honey, & Cocoa

Our little house tigers, with their enviable earthy brown, ashy hues, blacks, stripes, and spots, they are certainly striking. And for any stylish kitty, they deserve an equally striking collar to accentuate their markings. Tabbies come in various shapes, shades, and sizes, from classic tabbies to red or orange tabbies and spotted tabbies, but they all have one thing in common: they look absolutely dashing in a Jenson’s cork leather breakaway cat collar. We recommend our collars in olive, honey, and cocoa for tabby kitties.

Tabby cats are often super friendly and love hanging out with their humans. With their playful and curious nature, they’re always up for some fun and can be a bit mischievous too. Their striking markings, from bold stripes to subtle spots, make them look like tiny tigers—that’s why we like to call them house tigers!

A cat mum's review of our breakaway cat collar in honey: “These collars are so lightweight and have a lovely color. They are so perfect for finicky cats who don’t want uncomfortable collars. The customer service was also above and beyond. I would 10 out of 10 recommend. Super high quality.”

Orange Kitties

Orange kitties are definitely bursting with personality and a bit of craziness. Their fiery coat colour and bold characters make them like little rays of sunshine, with their auburn and strawberry hues really standing out in the golden sunlight. Your orange kitty will look simply dashing in our blueberry breakaway cat collar. For a more natural look, orange cats also shine in our earthy-toned collars in barley and cocoa.

Orange cats are full of life and energy. They’re playful and often the center of attention, bringing lots of fun to any home. They’re also super affectionate and love hanging out with their humans. Their vibrant personalities fit perfectly with their bright, striking sunny coats.

A cat mum's review of our breakaway cat collar in cocoa: “Beautiful collar. A lot more supple than I expected. Much like leather. It's very suave and sophisticated; my former ruffian cat is now a true gentleman.”

Mini Panthers aka Black and Tuxedo Kitties 

What colour collar should I get for my cat? Barley and Blueberry

There’s something so striking, elegant, and sleek about all-black kitties. And tuxedo kitties, with their charming white patches on their bellies and paws, are just as cute. Did you know that over half of all cats are black and white? While tuxedo patterns are common, each cat’s coat is uniquely patterned. What does any uniquely pretty kitty need? A comfy cat collar to highlight their beautiful markings and sleek coat. Our cork leather cat collars in barley and blueberry are perfect for black and tuxedo kitties. Blueberry adds a splash of elegance, while natural barley gives an effortless edge.

Black cats have an elegant, mysterious vibe. They’re usually calm, loyal, and loving, with a playful side that makes them great companions. We liken them to little panthers, super slick and stealthy! Tuxedo cats are full of personality with their playful and friendly nature. Their black-and-white coats give them a classy look, and they’re known for being affectionate and fun-loving with their humans.

A cat dad's review of our breakaway cat collar in barley: “These look great on our rescued cats, and I love that they’re cruelty-free.”

Jensons Breakaway Cat Collar Features

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: all of our cat collars feature breakaway buckles. We always recommend that your kitty wears a breakaway collar to ensure they can easily break free if their collar gets snagged on something like a tree branch, fence post, or something around the home. We might sound like a broken record saying this, but it’s super important. As cat parents ourselves, safety is definitely a top priority at Jensons. A happy kitty equals a happy human.

Our cat collars are handmade, and each breakaway buckle is tested by hand before reaching you and your fur baby to ensure it functions properly and releases when tension is applied. We do also recommend that you regularly test the buckle too. Learn more about buckles in our blog unpacking everything breakaway buckle related: Breakaway Cat Collars: Everything You Need to Know to Keep Your Cat Safe.

In addition to being safe with their breakaway buckles, Jensons cat collars are designed for maximum comfort. Made from buttery smooth cork, they offer flexibility and a lightweight feel that ensures your cat's collar is as comfortable as it is stylish. The natural water resistance of the cork material also helps prevent the collar from becoming soggy if your cat gets caught in a downpour. This combination of safety, comfort, and practicality makes our collars a great choice for your fur baby, whatever their coat colour!
