Cat Mate Microchip Cat Flap, Cat Flap Microchip activated for up to 30 Cats - White

Product Information

So long as nothing damages the microchip cat flap, there’s no reason why they shouldn’t last for many years - potentially even the lifespan of your cat. The batteries (if using) inside the cat flap will fail first - but you should find with most flaps that they are easy to replace. It’s worth investing in rechargeable batteries if you can so that you’re not always having to buy replacements. The gadget reads a pet’s microchip or SureFlap RFID collar tag every time they go in and out of the flap, and lets you program it to keep certain cats inside while allowing others out. In this way, you could keep any troublemakers inside at night, while allowing more chilled-out felines outside for a moonlit stroll. The cat flap can be programmed for up to 32 cats, although this would make it as busy as Clapham Junction. Cat flaps in general are a godsend for those of us who are servants to moggies, meaning we don’t have to get up and down every five minutes to let a cat in or out through a window or door. Allowing cats access to the outside world, in a safe environment, gives them the best life possible, so it’s worth investing in a good cat flap to let them come and go as they please. What this means is that you can program this cat flap to respond differently to different pets. For example, if you have a couple of cats and one of them is due to go to the vets on a particular day you can set up this cat flap so that the cat which is due to go to the vets won’t be allowed out while your other cat will be. Made from super-tough polymer - Durable and safe for your door and for cats passing through the cat flap

Remove the batteries for at least one hour. After one hour install new, good-quality alkaline batteries. The red LED should flash and the catch should come up. It is not necessary for your cat to be micro-chipped to use a microchip cat flap, however if your cat doesn’t have a microchip you will need to use an RFID tag on their collar. One of the standout features of this cat flap is its programmable timer function, which has been a game changer for me. It’s particularly useful when I’m away from home and don’t want to constantly worry about my cat’s access to the great outdoors. The convenience it offers is simply brilliant. If you live somewhere that is prone to lots of rain or snow, you should also look for flaps that promise to withstand tough weather conditions. There is, however, one way an intruder cat may be able to get in: by tailgating. This is rather unavoidable because a neighborhood cat can easily get up close to your feline's bottom and seize the opportunity to enter while the flap is still fully open. Another animal could also place a sneaky paw within an open door to prevent it from closing again.

Perfect Fit for Small- to Average-Sized Cats: Our cat flap is designed to accommodate the needs of small- to average-sized cats, providing them with a convenient and secure access point to the outdoors. It’s a really simple cat flap to programme, with just the push of a button and an LED indicator that flashes to let you know the microchip has been registered. You will need four AA batteries to power the cat flap, but users report that these last for around a year, making the Cat Mate even better value. After installing the PetSafe Petporte Smart Flap Microchip Cat Flapin my home, I noticed my cat had no trouble getting used to it. The microchip recognition allowed only my cat to enter, keeping uninvited intruders at bay. This made both me and my cat feel more secure, and it provided an added sense of freedom for my feline friend.

The Cat Mate door is battery-powered and will give approximately 12 months of operation from 4 x AA batteries (not included). The Microchip Cat Flap (CP 360 or 360) is selective entry only. We would advise the Cat Mate Elite ID Disc Cat Flap with Timer Control (305); however, this works with ID discs on your cat’s collar, but not implanted microchips.

It’s essential to consider the battery life of the microchip cat flap you’re interested in, as replacing batteries too frequently can be inconvenient. Some cat flaps are equipped with low battery indicators, ensuring you change the batteries in a timely manner and keep the flap functioning properly. Durability and Weather Resistance
