When we started our water adventures with other pet life jackets, we found that the design just didn't work for our cat. Mavi's head was often getting dunked underwater and with some he could barely walk and swim due to the bulky nature.
Mavi's CatDad Nick was a Red Bull pro athlete, and won X Games for wake boarding. He designed our SurferCat Life Jacket to be as minimal as possible. It's made for maximum performance and mobility with the least amount of restriction.
Our life jackets were specifically designed with the anatomy of a cat in mind.
Our design features an easy lift handle, a reflective strip along the back for nighttime adventures, and a secure D ring to attach your leash.
Sizing: be sure to measure around your cats belly
Regular - 11 inches to 16 inches
XL - 16 inches to 21 inches
If your kitty is smaller than 11 inches, feel free to send us a DM for a custom size life jacket.

I would like to start by giving a shoutout to the customer service team, once the life jacket arrived and Minnow went for her first paddle I emailed them asking about suggestions/ the need for UV eye protection for her, they responded within the hour with suggestions and personal experience with a brand outside of their own. The expertise this team has makes me feel so secure with my cat in the water.
I'm thoroughly impressed with this cat life jacket! It's incredibly lightweight and thin, ensuring my cat stays comfortable and agile without any restriction in movement. The design is brilliant—it allows her to walk, relax, and loaf with ease. The material is soft and breathable, keeping her cool on warm days. Adjustable straps ensure a snug fit without discomfort. It's a must-have for any cat owner wanting to keep their feline safe near water while ensuring maximum comfort and mobility. Highly recommended!
9 month old Meka went kayaking and paddle boarding this 4th of July. She tested the waters and jumped in unexpectedly, her vest brought her back up to the surface where I was able to easily pull her into the boat. This experience hasn't dashed her adventurous spirit.
Well made. Looks good. I’ve yet to test on the water but it sure looks to be purrrfect!
We just introduced our cat to sailing. He took to it and with his life jacket on we feel more at ease when he’s hanging out on the deck. Fits good. Haven’t tested its floatation yet but plan to when the weather gets warmer. I’ll update then.
