A QR & NFC ID Tag for Your Cat

An outdoor cat can wander further than you'd think. And even a homebody sometimes slips into the stairwell or out through a cracked window, and just like that, it's gone. A neighbour might spot it, but how are they to know it's not another stray, but somebody's much-loved cat?

A QR and NFC ID tag for cats is a cat ID that, once scanned with a phone, leads to your cat's profile and your contact details. Nothing to engrave, nothing to replace. You update the details online whenever you want.

With a cat, what matters is that nothing gets in the way or puts them at risk. You clip the tag to a thin collar with a breakaway safety catch, which pops open by itself if your cat gets snagged on a branch or a fence. The tag itself is small, waterproof, and doesn't jingle with every move.

There's no battery and nothing to charge. After a day or two your cat stops noticing it's there, and you sleep a little easier.

You set up a free account and create your cat's profile: name, photo, breed, anything important, and the quickest way to reach you. You clip the tag to the collar. A finder points a camera at the code or holds their phone to the NFC chip, and your cat's profile opens right away in the browser, with no app at all.

They're easy to mix up, but they do two different jobs. A pet passport is an official EU document with your microchip number and rabies vaccination record. You need it when you're taking your cat abroad.

A BringMeHome cat ID is a digital QR and NFC tag that helps you get a stray cat back here and now, from outside your building or the garden next door. It won't stand in for the passport, but it pairs with it perfectly.

A microchip can only be read by a vet or a shelter with a special scanner. The neighbour who finds your cat on a windowsill has no way to do that. A QR and NFC tag, they can scan on the spot with an ordinary phone and call you straight away. That's why it's best to have both.
