Product Description

Girafus Cat Tracker and Charger
Girafus Cat Tracker with Cat

Girafus Pet Tracker

Reliable, lightweight, honest.

The Girafus Tracker consists of a small tracking device worn by the pet and a handheld base unit for tracking.

The tracking works on the hot-cold principle: if you walk in the right direction, the beeps get faster and more LEDs light up, and if you walk in the wrong direction, the opposite happens. Tracking requires some patience in the beginning, but in return you will find your cat even in the most remote basement hole.

How does the Girafus tracker work?

Der Girafus-Tracker besteht aus einem kleinen Peilsender, den das Haustier trägt, und einem Basisgerät zum Aufspüren.

Die Ortung funktioniert nach dem Warm-Kalt-Prinzip. Wenn Sie Ihr Tier verloren haben, gehen Sie mit dem Basisgerät auf die Suche: Das Gerät zeigt Ihnen durch LED- und Piepsignale die Richtung und Entfernung Ihres Tieres an. Manchmal erfordert das Aufspüren etwas Gedult, dafür werden Sie Ihre Katze aber auch im hintersten Kellerloch wiederfinden.

135 customers mention72 positive63 negative

Customers are mixed about the performance of the pet tracker. Some mention it works great, is simple to use, and effective, while others say that it almost never works, works for about one minute, and became useless after a couple of weeks.

"...UPDATE: Well, after only a couple of weeks, this product became useless. It will no longer track, even if my cat is standing right next to me...." Read more

51 customers mention11 positive40 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the durability of the label. They mention that it's not a solid quality product, made of cheaper materials, and poorly constructed. The speaker seems weak and only chirps at times. The product is mediocre and can be fragile for heavy handed people.

"...up some slight negatives but not enough to take away a star, it's a little expensive but compared to other means of tracking your small pet..." Read more

"...one that is designed small enough for a cat and the GPS trackers are still too expensive...." Read more

"...It's only a light plastic and would be easy to break. I had to use a very thin prying tool...." Read more

Good for the money, Get it!
Let me preface this by saying that this item is a great bargain and well worth the money! But theres a few things you should know.I initially bought the 2 pack of this in June and then liked how well it was working so I asked about getting extra tags from the seller. It looks like to get extra tags you have to program them to your remote and they come from the factory which comes with shipping costs etc. It sounded kinda complicated so I bought the 4 pack and kept the 2pk as backups in case my cats lose these. So if you have 4 cats, just do yourself a favor and buy the 4 pck first.Pros:Works really well when the battery is charged up.Its a basic tracker so it leads you in the direction your cat is in. But you have to trust the tracker and follow it and remember that you are following a cat. So in other words, dont stick to main roads, your cat is going to be anywhere and everywhere and if you have cats you probably know what i mean lol You can touch the number that the tracker corresponds to once and the bars will light up telling you whether you are closer or farther away. Green means your going in the right direction. You can press and hold the number button for the cat your tracking and a quick beep will sound which just confirms that you are going the right direction. Not too loud but loud enough that you know if your cat is within 30 ft of you.Con:The method that is suggested with the packaging is a velcro type thing and a silicone case. This will NOT protect the device from water and if your cat is indoor/outdoor it will probably get wet. The battery immediately stops working if it gets damp so its essentially useless. I would HIGHLY recommend the manufacturers come up with a hard plastic case with a carabiners or velcro attachment to it. Right now i am trying to come up with ways to waterproof it.So far I have tried:saran wrap, zip loc bags, and 2 by 4inch 4 mil bead bags. So far the bead bags are working but I have yet to test it out in the rainy season as its not that time of year yet. I have to tape the device once its in this bag to the collar (using electrical tape). This seems to be the best way to keep it from getting wet and also keep it secure to the collar.Another con: the two halves of the device are held together by screws. These keep it closed and the battery in place. But it would be easier if the sides just snapped in place versus having to pull out the screw driver every time you want to replace the battery.The battery lasts a little less than two weeks. I replaced a fully charged battery in one device on August 23rd and it was dead on Sept 4th. This is a long enough time that i feel its worth the maintenance for my four babies for peace of mind. But you have to stay on top of it otherwise its pretty useless in helping you find your cats. You know that the battery is dead when the bars don't light up. If the batteries charged it should blink a couple of times for it to catch the signal of the device and then at least one bar will light up if you arent too far away.The Charger: Works well. Buy yourself another pack of rechargeable 3052 batteries and swap them out so you always have extra ones on hand. Then when it comes time to switch out you can easily replace them without having to wait a day for it to charge. Whatever you do DONT close the two halves of the charger. This will be a pain to get back open. You can easily see the charging lights with it open. If you unplug the device and plug it back in the lights should flash red once and go out if they are fully charged. They will stay red or green if charging and go out to black when fully charged.Overall, if you are willing to do the maintenance of replacing the battery every two weeks and waterproofing/taping onto collar then this is a good bet for you! The charge lasts a lot longer than i've seen other ones last and the tracker leads in the right direction. I have used this to track my cat to the neighbor house he likes to visit. This was also useful when my other cat got into a neighborhood fight with another stray. She came home without her collar and i pulled out this tracker and tracked her collar out of the culdesac and over a house, 4 houses away. It was under a bush next to a neighbors front door and with the tracking bars, the beeping, and the flashing red of the device I was able to find it easily. So it is also saving me money on lost collars too!This is a great device, wayyyy cheaper than a gps tracking collar because you dont have to pay a subscription feet. This easily fits onto their collar. its not too big, and its perfect for giving you a direction to go in when looking for your cat. I have had a couple cats go missing and this gives me peace of mind. If they fix the kinks with water proofing the cover and attaching it to the collar then I would definitely buy those cases or the upgraded version.

Reviewed in Mexico on March 12, 2022
Funciona muy bien, el alcance de más de 500 mts, supongo que es en espacios abiertos, por qué cuando se atraviesan casas o muros, no alcanza el rastreador. La pila tiene buena duración, no la he cargado y lleva como 1 semana, en la caja dice que dura 30 días. El gato no siente el rastreador, es muy pequeño. Solo es un poco difícil entenderle a las instrucciones pero por lo demás funciona genial, el sonido que hace es muy molesto, y debería tener un volumen. Pero cumple con su cometido, es radiotransmisor no gps
