I don't know any product that matches your requirements.
If I had to deal with that today I'd buy a rasberry pi, a USB sim card dongle and some raspberry hat with GPS receiver.
You can write a small API that listens to the raspberries, who sends periodically their positions, and save it to a database.
But it's a quite large project. There's a lot of aspects to consider. The GUI, security, batteries, and a way to attach it to an animal without being lost or destroyed.
Sorry for not giving a useful answer lol. If you come out with an actual solution I'll be glad to hear it, so I can track my cats in case they get lost.
