Manual Cat Flap - Brown

Product Information

For a window, you will need a special flap which can be installed in glass, which is usually thinner than door flaps. They often have to be fitted at the same time as a new pane of glass is placed into the door or window as it is hard to cut into an existing piece, which could be expensive and limits when you can get one. It is the best idea if your cat currently uses a window for access and you don’t want to confuse them though. Suitable for installation in doors, windows or walls with the correct adapters, the cat flap comes with a fairly simple installation guide. You only get one collar and magnetic key in the box, but you can buy more separately if you have multiple cats. Do make sure that your cat’s microchip is one that’s recognised by the cat flap you choose. Some older microchips and foreign chips may not work with a microchip cat flap. Where should I install my cat flap?

A cat enclosure, or catio, could be ideal if you are happy to leave a window open but not let anything other than your cat in.

You can choose to only let your cat in or out rather than both ways, and it limits strays, but any cat with a magnetic collar can still enter.
