Unlike most modern video games, Stray doesn't offer much in terms of customization. That's not to say the appearance of the game's playable kitty can't be altered, with players able to acquire special badges to add a bit more flair to the adorable cat's jacket. Unfortunately, however, one or two of them can be a bit tricky to find, so those hoping to find all the badges in Stray and unlock the "Badges" trophy may need a little help.
There are six of these badges in total, one of which players will receive automatically as part of the main story. The other five can be found in the game's central areas, with one in the slums, one in Antvillage, and three in Midtown. Players desperate to customize their kitty can also purchase an elegant rainbow jacket, although this requires them to find all 27 B-12 memories in Stray.

Where to Find the Music Badge
Players receive the Music Badge from Morusque after finding all eight sheet music in Stray. They can be collected from various locations in the slums and are available during any chapter that takes place in the area. To get the Music Badge, players will have to deliver each piece of sheet music to Morusque and wait for him to play them on his guitar.
Sheet music 1 can be found in some boxes in Momo's apartment after passing through an opening in the bars of one of the doors.
Sheet music 2 is on a patio table on a balcony to the right of the window that leads to Clementine's apartment.
Sheet music 3 is attached to a large picture of a robot on the lower floor of Elliot's programming. Players will need to scratch the door to enter on their first visit.
Sheet music 4 can be traded with Azooz at the market for an energy drink can.
Sheet music 5 is on one of the tables on the upper floor of the Dufer Bar.
Sheet music 6 is on a shelf to the right of the bed in Clementine's apartment.
Sheet music 7 is on the sheet music shelf at the piano in Doc's apartment. Players will need to translate the note on the bed to get the key and then knock down a pile of books nearby to find the safe.
Sheet music 8 is inside a locked safe in a pile of debris right after where Morusque is. The code to open the safe in the slums is 1283.

Where to Find the Outsider Badge
Players will receive the Outsider Badge as part of the main story shortly after finding the secret laboratory and fixing the Broken Tracker in Chapter 6 of Stray. Once done, Seamus will hand over the badge so his father knows he can trust the players when they find him in Chapter 7.

Where to Find the Plant Badge
Malo gives players the plant badge in exchange for three colored plants. Finding the yellow, red, and purple plants in Stray is relatively straightforward, although it requires players to explore Antvillage quite a bit. The yellow plant is right after where players find Malo, the red plant is at ground level, and the purple plant is growing on a tree not far from where Zbaltazar is meditating.

Where to Find the Cat Badge

Where to Find the Police Badge
To find the Police Badge, players will need to follow through the alley between the clothing store and the Peacemaker's office. You'll know you're in the right place if you see some Outsider graffiti on the wall at the end. Assuming you're in the right spot, you should climb the nearby pipes and air conditioning units and some metal awnings. From there, you'll be able to continue climbing the wall directly above the graffiti and then jump through an open window into a prison cell. You'll find the badge by interacting with the dead robot inside.

Where to Find the Neco Badge
Players receive the Neco Badge from a Neco Corp employee while sneaking into the factory to steal the atomic battery. The employee in question is looking for his lost keys between the first two stealth sections of the factory and will ask players to help him search. You'll be able to find the worker's lost keys by jumping to the right when you reach the section with the floating barrels, and you'll be able to open a shortcut back to the robot by pulling a nearby lever. Players will receive the badge after returning the keys, as well as the "Badges" trophy if this is the final badge.
