Bought this to replace a bog standard cat flap, which had all the inherent problems of other cats coming in and eating my cats food and spraying. Easy to install and set up,it fitted into the existing space left by the old cat flap. If anyone asked me for a recommendation with regards to buying a cat flap, this product would be the one I would recommend, cannot praise it highly enough. Well worth the money.

I've had one of the SureFlap cat flaps for two weeks and so far it has been amazing.. It was easy to fit as the hole from my previous CatMate cat flap was exactly the same size.. I did not programme it first but as soon as it was fitted I put it in it's memory mode by just pushing one button.. I sat by it to make sure it was my cat that was first through and as he passed through with little coaxing it clicked, turned off the memory mode and locked behind him and he has been using it ever since as if it had always been there, locking up behind himself each time!! The two nuisance next door cats have attempted entry several times without success and now seem to have given up and watch bewildered as my cat lets himself in.. I can also hear the click when my cat comes in at night while I am in bed.. Brilliant.. A magic piece of kit.. Highly recommended....

After unwelcome visitors and endless lost collars and magnets, I bought this to replace a Staywell cat flap. It was very easy to fit - same size hole and screw positions as the Staywell. Uses two AA batteries and has a light to indicate when they need changing. My two cats took to using it straight away and the problem cat is permanently excluded. Highly recommended.

I’ve been looking for a similar product for years, but I just found it on zooplus. I like that you don’t need a collar and that it can be set up for multiple cats. So I can control exactly who can come in :)

At last, no foreign cats come in and eat my cat’s food! Great invention!

I bought a SureFlap Cat Flap over a year ago and it's been one of my best cat related purchases ever,no collars and tags to lose and no more neighbours cats coming in and eating my cats food or spraying in the house. The only fault I found was that any cat can get out which proved a problem when I had a little kitten who was desperate to get outside to join my other cats but was way too young and hadn't completed his vaccinations.

i have the sureflap and was delighted with it but now the piece of metal which acts as the magnet has gone so the flap blows and bangs with the slightest bit of wind not happy so much now as its been very drafty through this winter

Excellent for keeping neighbouring cats away... Until you lock the flap so your cats can come in but your kitten (and cats) are not allowed out. Ideal for cats being kept in at night but come home at different times. When my male cat of 5 years was suddenly not allowed out when the kitten came along he managed to figure out how to escape! He paws and paws at the flap until the button at the front pushes down, then hooks his claws under the flap and opens it up towards him! Very funny at first as we couldn't work out how he got out. Then I saw him with my own eyes. Still wasn't a problem as only the kitten needed to be inside... Until she learnt from him how to do it! Now have to use full lock which isn't as useful. Batteries really do last about 6mths, I wasn't expecting that. Great product, could do with tweaking- aimed at clever kitties! IF your cat is 5.5kg + would suggest this may be too small. My 6kg cat gets thro it but only just!

best product ever no longer will neighbours cat come steal food and go on my kitchen tops. I feel great knowing my babies are safe whilst i am at work or out and about - well done sureflap you have changed my life!

After months of problems with a local Tom cat entering our house, spraying everywhere and frightening our cats, we discovered this microchip flap. It is fantastic and I recommend it to everyone! Easy to fit and very simple to programme. We have had ours for 12 months and it is still using the original batteries. I will never ever go back to the old style flaps again!

It's such a great idea. Putting the microchip on your cat to a further use. Prevents other cats coming in, but if you leave your back door open and one gets in, it can get OUT without problem. Easy to set up, no draughts coming in. Gives cat confidence when running away from a chaser! They kind of tease next door's cats by getting in and looking at them. If you use it in a double glazed unit you will need to purchase a DOUBLE GLAZED GLASS PANEL with the hole made in it. It cannot be put into double glazing unless you do. The cavity would break down and leak.

I had the SureFlap Microchip Cat flap installed a couple of weeks ago. It took half an hour including cutting the hole and fixing the flap in place. After a reluctant start, my cat realised this way was freedom... She soon learned the cat flap was her own front door. The microchip recognition was easy to achieve even with a reluctant cat. Cat treats worked a dream and soon I could hear the gentle flip flop as exit and entry were acomplished to perfection. It has made life much easier for both of us particularly when we have the reassurance that only my cat can get in and out of our house. I highly recommend this product.

The kittens took to using this straight away, it was fairly easy to fit in our wooden door. It would be better if it was a little bit larger now they have grown into cats. They also sit near it when its raining so it clicks because it senses them. On the whole great peace of mind because you know only your cats can enter and they are not locked out if they lose their collar (which is often)and you dont have to keep replacing collar magnets.

This is a quality product that works exactly as it says on the tin. Easy to register your cat with it, just push the button and shove your cat through! No more cats from up the road coming in to bully your cat, steal food or spray on the wallpaper! The built in tunnel is a nice touch and you can get extenders if mounting on a thick wall. The catch releases very quickly when your cat gets within range and stays down if the cat hesitates before coming through. Brilliant. Worth every penny. Our cats feel safe in their own home now.

Ok make no mistake, both our moggies love this device that has run happily for at least 4 years now and has made our home a peaceful place. We have clearly recouped the cost of the flap in unstolan cat food. We have always experienced very good support when we have phoned up with minor issues such as the sensor getting dirty with fur or the lock literally freezing one winter. Our last issue was bizarre . One cat all of a sudden could not get in. Tried everything. Support said it must be the cats chip. Vet said no way. Healthy cat goes to vets and is now chipped for a second time since the first had travelled deep into her shoulder and the fap could not sense it. So peace is resorted once more.

We bought this as the ideal solution to stop a local stray Tom from coming in and spraying the house. Managed to get one cat's chip recognised without problem, but the other cat who is of a larger size (7+kg) struggled with it on two counts. Firstly he found it difficult to belly crawl through the smaller inner square aperture of the flap (although the outer tunnel is larger, the inner flap narrows at the bottom to a square), and also his microchip is placed far enough down his upper back that the flap did not register the chip even when his nose was firmly squashed against the flap trying to open it. It was amusing to watch his efforts, but in fairness it was not suitable for big Boy! Zooplus, to their credit, agreed to return and refund without issue.

I cannot believe I waited so long to get this. It has really changed my life, and that of my cat. He has already started to put on weight and look and act much brighter, since we both realise no other cat can now invade his territory and steal his food. It took only about 15 minutes to set up, install and get him used to it and we never looked back. An absolutely brilliant solution.

After nearly a year I am still very happy with the Sureflap cat flap. It completely solved problem with local bullies coming in and bashing up my cats and spraying the house. I have just had to change the batteries for the first time and considering how often my cat uses it (2-3 times an hour sometimes) I consider that good. My daughters dog also uses it successfully to charge in and out. The dog is smaller than the cat so fits through fine and it read her microchip just like the cats. I would recommend it to anyone needing to keep other cats out and who's cat doesn't like a collar. The only problem I have had was with fitting as it was larger than my previous cat flap and as it was through a wall I had to get the chisel out!

This is a really great product. Very easy to fit and to program. Unfortunately my cat is too fat to fit through it and I had to change to a Pet Porte microchip door which is slightly larger in diameter but much more complicated to program. I wish Sureflap would make a larger model , please !!
