What to Compare Before Buying

- Fitting size: Compare the overall size, cut-out size and flap opening size with the space available.

Who This Product May Suit
This cat flap may suit buyers who want controlled entry for one or more cats, with microchip recognition and a timer function in a white finish. It is also relevant where the fitting needs to work with common door, wall or glazing types and where the opening size needs to be checked carefully.
When to Consider a Different Option
A different model should be considered if your cat does not use a compatible 15-digit ISO microchip or Cat Mate ID Disc, if the opening size is too small, or if your planned fitting surface does not suit the listed installation options.
