Recovery from medical procedures (e.g., spaying) or wounds

After a medical procedure, such as spaying or when stitches are needed around the torso, the Recovery Suit® offers optimal protection. Unlike a traditional collar, the suit directly covers the sensitive areas, keeping them safe from external irritants or dirt. When your cat has a wound or stitches, it’s important to check and clean them regularly. Both you and your veterinarian can quickly and easily put the suit on and take it off. Proper airflow is provided due to it's breathable cotton material which is crucial for a swift and safe healing process.

Note: Since the suit is designed to allow cats to use the litter box, the surgical area after neutering/castration remains unprotected. Therefore, the Recovery Suit® Cat is not suitable for use after this procedure in tomcats (male cats).

Hotspots and skin problems

The Recovery Suit® is the perfect solution for covering and protecting hotspots and skin issues on your cat's torso. When your cat develops hotspots or other skin problems, they may feel the urge to keep licking—a behavior that releases a calming chemical in the brain. However, excessive licking can lead to infections and irritations. The suit covers the wound while still allowing enough oxygen for proper healing, so the sensitive area can recover calmly and freely without discomfort.

A break for nursing moms

The Recovery Suit® gives nursing cats the rest they deserve. By fully covering the torso, the suit helps prevent unscheduled nursing and supports the weaning process. It protects the nipple area while allowing you to easily open the suit at designated times to feed the kittens. Comfortable for mom, practical for you – everything for worry-free care!

When in heat or with light incontinence

With the Recovery Suit®, you can keep your home clean and your cat comfortable during heat or mild incontinence. The suit reduces the risk of blood or urine stains on your furniture and floors and provides space to place a sanitary pad inside or between the double layer. Unlike a heat diaper, the Recovery Suit® stays securely in place thanks to the convenient rear closure. This ensures optimal protection without discomfort—keeping both your cat comfortable and your home spotless!

Minimalizing hair in your home

Say goodbye to loose pet hair floating around your home! Cats shed the most around their torso—and that’s exactly the area the Recovery Suit® covers. Loose hairs are easily trapped inside the suit, so all you have to do is take it off, clean it, and you're done. A smart solution for keeping your home clean, even during shedding season!

Key features of
the Recovery Suit®

Protective band with loops for the collar

To protect the area between the shoulder blades and neck, the suit features a longer, soft, and elastic band with loops for attaching a collar, making it more difficult for the cat to remove the suit. Soft bands around the legs and tail prevent chafing and pressure points.

Easy litter box access

The suit is fully closed for optimal protection. Thanks to its smart design, tailored to a cat’s anatomy, it can stay on while using the litter box.

Secure closure with adjustable press studs

The Recovery Suit® features a secure closure that prevents cats from opening the suit themselves while allowing pet owners and veterinarians to easily put it on and take it off. Always fasten all press studs again for the best fit.

▶ How to put it on?

Inner layer for moisture observation and a cooling pad

The light blue interior of the Recovery Suit® allows pet owners or veterinarians to easily monitor moisture loss. In case of fluid leakage, a sanitary pad can be placed between the double layers, or an ice-pack can be inserted for additional cooling.

Find the right size for the best recovery

The Recovery Suit® should fit like a second skin—not too tight, but certainly not too loose! A proper fit ensures your cat cannot reach sensitive areas. Measure your cat from the neck to the base of the tail and check the size chart to find the right fit. If your cat falls between two sizes, always choose the smaller one. Also, consider your cat's amount of hair and body shape for the best fit.

My almost 6-month-old girls were spayed, and I bought these suits because collars are just so impractical. I really appreciate the extra snap buttons, which help adjust the fit perfectly around the legs. The neck was a bit snug, but I stretched it out before use. Both cats can use the litter box without any issues. I’d definitely recommend these suits over a collar for recovery!

M.S.

Our kitten was recently spayed and came home with the dreaded collar. It caused her a lot of stress in a short time. We ordered multiple recovery suits, but this one was by far the best! She has worn it for the past 15 days during her recovery with no issues using the litter box. We hand-washed and air-dried the suit once, and it still looks as good as new. Definitely a better option than a collar!

Jayne

A much better option than a collar. The suit is durable and well-made. Although she walked a bit awkwardly at first, her spay incision stayed well protected!

Matt

After her spay surgery, our 5-month-old kitten licked her stitches open as soon as I removed the collar. After another vet visit, we decided to try the Recovery Suit. She needed some time to adjust, but now she wears it without any issues, can use the litter box, and leaves her belly alone. We even bought a second one to ensure she’s always protected!

Jordan

A great alternative to the "Cone of Shame". After spaying or surgery, our little tigers could recover comfortably for 10 days without licking each other’s wounds—all while still being able to curl up in their favorite hiding spots!

I can’t recommend this product enough! Luna absolutely HATED the collar, and I took it off after just two hours. Thanks to the suit, she wasn’t miserable but relaxed—and she left her wound alone.

Luna

A must-have for surgery recovery! When my two kittens were neutered at the same time, I knew the recovery period would be challenging—but I didn’t expect just how difficult it would be. They came home with soft collars from the vet, so I quickly ordered the suits. Whether for neutering or any other surgery, these are absolutely worth the money, and I would recommend them to anyone!

Frequently asked questions

Can a cat wear a Recovery Suit® for dogs?

No, the Recovery Suit® for dogs and cats is different and specifically designed to fit the unique anatomy of each animal. The solid black and. blue & pink camouflage suits are made for dogs, while the black camouflage and tiger print versions are designed for cats. The cat suit features a larger opening under the tail, allowing it to stay on during litter box use.

Is the Recovery Suit® suitable for a tomcat after neutering?

Since the suit is designed to allow cats to use the litter box, the surgical area after neutering/castration remains unprotected. Therefore, the Recovery Suit® Cat is not suitable for use after this procedure in tomcats (male cats).

Do all cats accept the Recovery Suit®?

Yes, most cats tolerate the Recovery Suit®. However, cats may need a little more time to adjust, so be patient and give them that opportunity. We recommend practicing with the suit about a week before the procedure. It’s similar to a bodysuit or shirt, but specifically designed and equipped for cats. We provide pet owners with a quick and easy recovery solution.

Some cats are very flexible and may try to wriggle out of the suit. For these cats, you can use the loops inside the collar to attach it to their regular collar for extra security. Additionally, choosing the correct size is essential. Since sizes overlap, we recommend selecting the smaller size when in doubt. The stretch fabric allows for a snug and comfortable fit.

Keep in mind that special attention is needed if a wound is causing irritation. In such cases, a cat may try to scratch, lick, or even bite around the affected area.

Should I wash the Recovery Suit® before first use?

No, you don’t need to wash the Recovery Suit® before first use. However, if your pet has open wounds, always consult your veterinarian first.

Can my pet wear the Recovery Suit® all day?

The Recovery Suit® is made of 94% high-quality cotton and 6% Invista Lycra® 4-way-stretch fabric. This combination ensures comfort and a breathable design, allowing the suit to be worn all day, provided it is washed regularly and your cat is always supervised by a responsible adult while wearing it. Additionally, monitor your pet regularly and check that the fit is secure but not too tight. If your pet’s behavior changes or they exhibit excessive licking or chewing, consult your veterinarian.
