Refund policy

At Cat Harness Australia, we want you and your cat to be completely satisfied with your purchase. If you're not, we offer a hassle-free 30-day return policy for eligible items, with refunds, exchanges or store credit available subject to the conditions below. Please ensure your item meets the conditions below for a successful return.


Uppapets products

All Uppapets products, including strollers, carriers and accessories, are excluded from Checkout+ and cannot be returned or exchanged through our Returns Portal. This applies even if Checkout+ was purchased with your order.

Returns, exchanges and warranty requests for Uppapets products purchased from Cat Harness Australia must be organised directly with our team by email on a case-by-case basis. Email support@catharnessaustralia.com.au with your order number, the product and the reason for your request, plus photos where relevant. Please contact us before sending anything back so we can review your request and confirm the return instructions and any applicable return shipping costs.

Checkout+ prepaid returns and the Returns Portal’s handling fee, instant exchange and store credit bonus do not apply to Uppapets products. If your order includes other eligible products, you may use the Returns Portal for those items; Uppapets requests must be handled separately by email.

This process does not limit your rights under the Australian Consumer Law or any other applicable consumer law, including your rights if a product is faulty, damaged or incorrect.

30 Day Satisfaction Guarantee

Our 30 Day Guarantee is here to reassure you that our harness will do what it promises (i.e. keeps them safe)! If you aren't happy, reach out to us on live chat or email support@catharnessaustralia.com.au.
