Where to buy a robotic cat in Australia
Where Australians buy robotic cats for dementia in 2026, what each type of seller offers, current price bands, and what to ask before you pay.
Robotic cats for dementia are sold online and in some showrooms across Australia. The same cat can be listed at different prices by different sellers, so it pays to compare. Robo Cats Australia is an enquiry service, not a shop: we pass your request to a suitable Australian supplier, who quotes you directly.
Which kinds of seller stock robotic cats?
| Seller type | What they usually offer | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Specialist dementia product shops | Companion cat and MetaCat, other dementia aids, some with a quote desk for therapists and aged care | Families wanting advice, homes buying a few |
| Independent living and mobility retailers | Companion cat, in some cases showrooms, trials and hire | Seeing the cat before buying |
| Healthcare equipment suppliers | Companion pets sold to hospitals, aged care and disability buyers | Homes with an existing supplier account |
| General online marketplaces | Many listings at wide price ranges, including other brands | Buyers comfortable checking the seller themselves |
What do robotic cats cost in 2026?
At Australian specialist retailers checked in September 2026:
- Joy for All style companion cat: $259 to $300
- MetaCat: $349 to $399
Prices include GST and change often. Stock also varies; at least one retailer showed the companion cat as sold out on the day we checked.
What should you ask before paying?
- Is it the genuine product? Marketplace listings can use similar names for different cats. Check the maker and model match the one you researched.
- Who handles a fault? Ask whether the seller is in Australia and how a return works if the cat stops responding.
- What powers it? Confirm whether it needs disposable batteries or a charger, and whether batteries are included.
- Can it be delivered to the care home? Some sellers deliver straight to a facility; confirm the address and a contact name at the home.
- Is there a volume price? For an aged care home buying several cats, ask for a quote rather than paying the single-unit price.
