Product description
A battery-powered cat flap with microchip and timer function, allowing you to give your cat the access it needs, while keeping your home safe from uninvited feline visitors.
The Cat Mate Elite Microchip Cat Flat with Timer Control is the ideal way to give your cat the freedom to come and go as it pleases, without the main disadvantage of a cat flap that is always open: the uninvited guests. This cat flap keeps your house as a no-go zone for neighbouring cats or, at night, foxes and martens that mistake it as an invitation to come inside, and saves you the hassle of opening the door or window yourself whenever your cat wants to come inside.
The Cat Mate Elite Microchip Cat Flap with Timer Control easily solves this problem in an innovative way. It recognises the microchip unique to your own cat and opens up to let it inside. The microchip recognition is only used to grant entry from outside to inside your home. Your cat can leave the house through the cat flap without microchip recognition. The majority of cats already have a microchip implanted, or you can use an RFID attached to your cat’s collar. The cat flap is extremely easy to programme and uses a simple four-way locking system: Unlocked, In Only, Out Only and Locked.
In addition, there is an innovative, easy-to-view LED-display that allows you to set specific times for your cat to come in and out. The panel also displays location indicators for up to 3 selected cats so you can see whether your cat is currently at home or out and about. You can also see the last time that your cat passed through the cat flap. The cat flap is draught- and weatherproof, thanks to its stable, high-quality polymer and brush-sealed flap.
The Cat Mate Microchip Cat Flap can be programmed for up to 9 cats and can be fitted in doors up to 100mm thick. Don’t worry if your cat already has a different RFID tag – the Cat Mate Microchip Cat Flap is compatible with most tags!

Unreliable
It works fine when the cat wants to leave, but it doesn't work every time when the cat wants to come back inside.

Poor unreliable controls
I would not recommend this to people. Overall it is very sturdy, and the first cat flap that has successfully stumped our little Houdini-cat, but the controls to set access are very unreliable and fiddly, and ultimately stopped working. The manual incorrectly states that the cat flap will revert to fully open without power - we have seen it die and leave our cat locked out. I would definitely not buy this again.

Very disappointed
Got the flap and my husband installed and changed the door to fit the flat . Leave at the training mood for my cats gets used to it . But soon we try to change to use the microchip the flat never works . They just
Let my cats go out the house but never opens when they try to come in .
Waist of money and now I will need to get a new one and a new door go fit the new cat flap
Very good
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'm gutted, even though it's a great product
Unfortunately, like only 1 other reviewer, this product seems to be ineffective for my situation. Bought 2 and the greedy cat took to it immediately, but the one who likes to graze won't go near it. He doesn't want to put his head under the arch, and the motor sound terrifies him. Alas, I was so excited for this and feel really sad. Otherwise it's a great product.

Be careful if you have very large cats
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.

At last!
I didn’t think my daft cat was going to get it but after almost 6 weeks he’s had a eureka moment and ‘by Jove he’s got it’! We have one cat on a special diet so now he’s learned which bowl is his and all going well. Great idea just give it time and they will get it eventually. Only one design flaw is when on trainer mode the light constantly flashes draining the battery and as with our stupid cat got through lots during that phase.

VIP entrance!
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)
Sureflap give great customer service
I have had one of these for years and with 2 cats in and out it has worked hard. It is great that other cats can't get in, because our cats need to know they are safe from the local tomcat tearaway. Anyway if bits have worn over the years a quick look at sureflap website gives access to trouble shooting guides and videos. The customer support team get back to you really quickly and help sort it out. I would definitely buy one again.
I now have two!
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
Excellent product
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.
Customer service excellent
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.
Great for big sized cats
We have a 9 kg old cat and he likes this flap. Easy use and really big.
Know your cat!
I feel slightly guilty giving this a so-so review - the product seems to work perfectly, but it was a complete waste of money for us. The cat that is the main reason we got it - he's getting bullied out of his food - won't go near it. He is intimidated by the noise and hates having something over his head. He'd rather go hungry than use it. I should have known better! We'll have to try to sell it on, I guess.
My Cats love SureFlap
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.
Excellent product
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.
Brilliant
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.
A Life Changer!
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!
Very good quality cat flap
This cat flap is as good as previous reviews but I cannot for the life of me work out how to programme for the evening In Only mode so I have to do it manually at night and in the morning. The instructions need to be much clearer; I think there is a stage missing.
Draughty
The flap is supposed to have a draught excluder but this is set so deep into the flap that it is basically useless. Also Sureflap support department don't respond to any emails, about anything, at all.
