Not really. There are gps trackers that have a cell modem, used for tracking animals for research, but they are probably very expensive. Both to purchase and operate.
Look into tractive a tracker for dogs, it’s quite affordable and made in Austria - which means it respects EU privacy regulations.
Requires a cellular data plan to operate, which is where that expensive operating cost comes in. For a family dog, I could see the expense being worthwhile, but for a number of things (wallet, keys, purse, backpack, etc) that AirTag tracking typically targets as their use case, this would get quite expensive rather quickly.
50€ for cat version with 5 day battery time + a monthly fee
no, thanks?
