Collars are $5-15 depending on the weave pattern. Cat collars are made with a breakaway buckle for safety. Currently, collars are not adjustable so are custom made to your pet's neck size.

Measuring
Collars are not adjustable
so they require an accurate measurement. For the best measurement, measure an
existing well-fitting collar. You should be able to fit at least 2 fingers
comfortably under your pet's collar.
1. Lay the collar flat.
2. Measure the length of
the collar including one* of
the buckle ends. Measure to the nearest 1/4".
*Only one, because the buckle overlaps when
clasped. DO NOT measure overlapping portion.
Start ^________________________________________________________To end ^
Again, DO NOT measure the overlapping portion of the buckle!
To measure for a bracelet or if your pet does not have a collar, take a piece of string (or a belt, a shoelace, etc) and wrap it around. Make sure you can fit at least 2 fingers comfortably underneath. Mark where the tip of the string touches, then lay out the string and measure the distance using a tape measure.
Measure around the "B" line shown below.

| Or, use a flexible tape measure. |
