It uses your pet's microchip or a Sure Petcare RFID Collar Tag to grant access exclusively to your pets, keeping other animals out. This selective entry system enhances your pet's security and helps reduce territorial stress and scent marking.
Utilize the Sure Petcare app to monitor your pet's outdoor activities, track their time spent outside, and identify any unusual behavior patterns. Remotely lock and unlock the flap, manage pet entry and exit permissions, check battery status, implement curfews, and receive notifications when your pets enter or leave the home.
The Microchip Cat Flap Connect is designed for installation in doors, windows, and walls. For door and wall installations, a hole measuring 165mm (width) x 171mm (height) is required. It serves as a direct replacement for most standard-sized cat flaps. The exterior dimensions of the flap are 210mm (width) x 210mm (height), with a tunnel depth of 70mm. For thicker walls, a SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap Tunnel Extender (sold separately) may be needed. For glass installations, a circular hole with a 212mm diameter is recommended. The SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap Mounting Adapter (sold separately) is necessary for glass mounting, covering remaining space in holes ranging from 212mm to 260mm in diameter.
Featuring a clean, minimalist white design, the flap operates without a mains connection, allowing it to seamlessly complement various home aesthetics. Please note that a maximum of 2 units are allowed per customer.
