Use the Cat Protective Front Leg Single Sleeve for:
✓ Wounds & sutures
The MPS Protective Front Leg Single Sleeve offers gentle, secure coverage for wounds or stitches on one front leg. It helps prevent licking, biting, and contamination — supporting a calm and smooth recovery for your cat.
✓ Skin conditions, hot spots & overgrooming
The sleeve helps cover irritated or sensitive skin, reducing exposure to external triggers while allowing healthy air circulation. It helps discourage excessive licking, scratching, or biting — supporting the management of hotspots, rashes, and overgrooming. A pet-friendly way to promote faster, calmer healing.
✓ Protecting bandages & ointments
It helps keep bandages and topical treatments securely in place. It prevents your cat from scratching or licking them off — supporting effective wound care and uninterrupted healing.
✓ In case of anxiety
The MPS Protective Front Leg Single Sleeve features an adjustable closure and soft stretch band that applies gentle pressure around the chest. This secure fit not only keeps the sleeves in place, but may also provide a calming effect on most recovering cats, ideal for post-surgery recovery or managing stress-related behaviors.
✓ Protecting IV lines
The sleeve acts as a barrier to prevent cats from licking, biting, or scratching IV lines, helping ensure treatments stay in place and undisturbed.
Key features of the Single Sleeve for cats
Interchangeable left/right leg
The MPS Protective Front Leg Single Sleeve is designed symmetrically, so it can be used on either the left or right front leg. Simply slide the injured leg into the sleeve, while the other front leg fits comfortably through the opposite opening. One smart design, full flexibility.
Adjustable with press studs
The MPS Protective Front Leg Single Sleeve Cat is designed to offer a secure yet adjustable fit, making it easy for veterinarians and pet owners to apply and remove when needed. Durable press studs combined with an inner Velcro® layer keep the sleeve comfortably in place.
Some cats may be more active or curious than others. In those cases, we recommend supervising the first moments your cat wears the sleeve to ensure it stays correctly positioned. For the most secure fit, always fasten at least two rows of press studs. Look for the signature colored press stud, your assurance of original MPS quality.
Soft bands and long sleeve
The sleeve is finished with extra-soft, thick elastic bands around the chest and leg. This protective trim helps prevent chafing, friction, and pressure points, even during longer use. Is the sleeve a bit long for the cat? Simply fold it up for a comfortable, customized fit.
Find the right fit for your cat!
The Single Sleeve should fit snugly and comfortably, not too tight, not too loose.
To find the right size, measure your cat’s chest around the widest part just behind the front legs, and the front leg from the armpit to the wrist joint.
If your cat falls between sizes, we recommend choosing the smaller one. Keep in mind: the chest band offers more adjustability than the sleeve itself, so leg length plays a bigger role in finding the best fit. Consider your cat’s weight, build, and coat thickness when selecting the size.
Give your cat the best (after)care!

Frequently asked questions:
Can the front leg sleeve for cats also be used for a dog?
No, the front leg sleeve for cats is not suitable for dogs and vice versa. For dogs please refer to our protective sleeve single or double for dogs.
Can the front leg sleeve also be used for a back leg?
No, the front leg sleeve has been specially developed for the front legs. For the hind legs we currently only have the hind leg sleeves for dogs. These should be worn together with the MPS Protective Top shirt for dogs.
Can the front leg sleeve also be used without a bandage, dressing or cast?
Yes, the front leg sleeve can also be used without a bandage, dressing or cast. The sleeve can, for example, protect hotspots, IV lines or ointments.
Can the front leg sleeve protect an IV line?
Yes, the front leg sleeve can protect an IV line. The IV then runs under the sleeve, from the paw to the back, so it is harder for the cat to reach or interfere with.
How to recognize an original MPS product?
An MPS Protective Front Leg Single Sleeve Cat is truly original when you spot the yellow MPS logo on the right side. Each legit product also has a wash label with an MPS hologram. No logo or hologram? Then it's not an official product from Medical Pet Shirts International - meaning no guarantee on our quality, safety, and fit.
