SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap

This was pretty straightforward to install in my wooden door, with some basic DIY skills. It had to be quite low to ground as the door had windows, so cat has to crawl through rather than walk. My cat took a few days to work it all out but clearly loves the freedom it gives him now. He's in and out when I'm not there and at night. I'm using it on manual mode - no batteries & taped down the little tab - I'll wait and see if microchip needed.

I bought the Sureflap for my cat about a year ago. It is an excellent product. It comes with a small internet-connected hub which connects both to the Flap and your phone. Your pet's microchip opens the flap. You can control opening and closing times, ie. keep indoors all night, while still allowing your cat to come back home at any time (curfew setting). It gives a record of each time your pet came in or out. This product changed our lives and I couldn't recommended it highly enough.

Purchased this product and it arrived within days. Installed it and it took a few tries for the cat to get used to it and on day 3 of teaching her she is happy using it now. It took a little while to get her used to the click but the timing of the click is perfect and it opens for just enough time for her to get through. I had issues with other cats coming in through the window we had left open for our cat so this is the best solution out there. Would highly recommend Zooplus too.

Installed on garden shed so my outdoor cat could get access to an automatic feeder and kennel inside the shed. Took a few weeks to train him as he was jumpy with the clicking noise when it unlocked, however he uses it very happily now. It’s great at preventing the neighbourhood cats getting into the shed despite their best attempts! Recommend lithium batteries for the winter months to prevent battery drainage in cold weather.

Within a few days, both adolescent cats who had never used a cat flap before were in and out like pros. Seems quite sturdy. Easy to fit in a wooden door. Very happy.

Easy to instal, works as described. Our relatively small cats didn’t take long to learn to use it. It does click so if you have a cat who objects to snappy / clicking noises it might be an issue, but ours will sit next to us while we use power tools so it was no problem for them. Best of all, the big bad bully cat who kept coming in and terrorising ours is now kept out. Highly recommended.

I have used these for about 6 years, have 4 cats & 3 feeders, they are all on different diets. One will eat nothing but biscuits - sadly. One on a renal diet, one on a normal elderly diet & have just rescued a skip diver, counter surfer dustbin cat. My Maine coon cannot use his properly. He has a very long neck & because his microchip is between his shoulder blades, it won't recognise it until his head is out the other side of the arch. It then opens & he panics running off with it around his neck. I could use the rfd tag, but, he has never had a collar & feeding him on the hall windowsill at the top of the stairs that only he can reach, seemed an easier option. They are rather large & tricky to clean, especially if your cat eats like a rotavator! Very good item that does save you money as less waste from spoiled food.

With the price of this product I wanted to give it 6 months before reviewing.This has been such a great purchase!! It gives the cats their daytime freedom and they enjoy going through the the tunnel.I am happy as I know that nothing else can come in the house without the chip opening the door and the draft excluder on it is perfect at keeping the cold out. I've used 3 tunnel add ons for this on my back house wall and it's fine.The click people speak of is not an issue for my two cats (3yrs old)

When we had a few nights of 'Le Fluffster' coming in at 3am I was imagining all kinds of hazzards befalling him while waiting up - we decided a cat flap was the only way forward! It was easy and simple to install and 1 push of a button registered his chip. He took to it in less than a week. Yes the clunk of the lock is quite loud but it's not taken him long to get used to it. I only wish we'd gone for the 'Connect' version as we'd like to know if he's coming or going.

So good keeping the kitten from eating the old guy's food - but as she grew a little and started with more adult food - had to get another to prevent him eating hers! great product - no more flies!! woohoo

I've had cats and flaps for over 30 years and this is the best quality product I've found. More expensive than a regular one but worth every penny. Very simple to set up and program and fits perfectly into the hole from my previous flap. All flaps make a noise as the door swings back into place, this makes an additional small clicking sound as the lock releases and is less draughty than many. The entrance is slightly smaller than average so may not suit very large cats but not a problem for me.

I bought this cat flap 4 years ago and it was straightforward to fit and my cat uses it frequently. Recently the lock button fell out. I rang SureFlap to find out if I could get a replacement part and they took my address and posted it to me without any charge even though it was outside the guarantee period. It arrived two days later. I am most impressed.

We have a 9 kg old cat and he likes this flap. Easy use and really big.

I bought this SureFlap in the brown colour about 4-5 years ago and it is still going strong. I have found that using lithium batteries are the best, as they can stand colder conditions and keep their charge longer. Only had to replace silver stickers and these were free of charge from customer services at SureFlap. I recommend this item and most of my family have since bought item through Zooplus and seem very happy with it.

My husband and I were new to cat flaps, we didnt have one for our previous cat who tended to spend most of the day out then in for the evening. But this kitten is in and out at regular intervals so we looked into a cat flap to give him the freedom. Would highly recommend, a joiner fitted it in approximately 20 minutes to our rear door, best decision we made, it took a couple of days of patience in training him, coaxing with toys and treats as he was nervous at first of the clicking sound.

This is the second one of these I've purchased they are brilliant, stopped any uninvited guests coming in. So easy to install and programme. This is an excellent price too it's about £20 cheaper than when I bought one about 6 years ago.

With 3 cats all on different diets, and 2 dogs just waiting in the wings to polish off any leftovers, these feeders have revolutionised my life! Luckily my cats are ruled by their stomachs so accepted the noise of the feeder opening very quickly... All 3 of them within a week! I can now ensure each cat gets their specific food, if any need medication, that's sorted too, and if I go away my cat sitter can be sure of who is eating what and in what quantities! Fabulous investment!

So I gave this 3 stars previously, as my fat boy was able to reach over the side and steal food as my old girl ate. I contacted Surefeed about this issue and they sent me an after market hood to add to the feeder. Problem solved, fat boy cant reach over the side any longer. As for squeezing in beside the old girl, the hood has also prevented that somehow. So pleased that my old girl can now have all the extra food she needs and can graze all day.

This large cat flap is perfect for my cats. They can come and go as they please until the curfew mode kicks in, they are in for the night. I had a minor issue when first installed called customer service, had a new one the next day. They even paid to return to defective one. Great service

This a quality product which was easy to fit and set up. We did have a bit of a problem in that we had metal within our door but having spoken to Sureflap customers service (who were really very good )sorted the problem out and is now working excellently for our elderly cat ..Would recommend this product.

This is the second one I've ordered because the first one couldn't hold the battery charge anymore. So, I've had it since 2008, and now it's 2026, and thanks to their microchips, my three cats can use the cat flap. No other cat can get in or out, even though the latest cat flap allows a cat that might have accidentally followed one of mine inside to leave, but that's never happened. I don't understand the negative reviews—personally, I think it's great.

Works just as described. All the cats got used to the feeders very quickly. All it took was putting their favourite pouch inside and letting them sniff it. They knew it was there, just had to figure out how to get to it. A couple of times they jumped when the lid opened, but their desire for their favourite pouch was stronger. There's no smell of food at all in the flat. I already have 3 feeders for cats on different diets (one tomcat on urinary, another tomcat on no special diet, and two cats on gastrointestinal).

Cat flap in use with 2 cats for 11 years. Scanning the microchips is easy to understand and do, the flap was installed quickly and works reliably. After 11 years, the 4-way lock has worn out and falls out if a cat goes through too quickly. Had a chat with extremely friendly customer service, and now they're sending me a replacement lock free of charge. There really is still quality and service in Germany. Thanks.
