Quick Summary
The PetSafe Microchip Activated Cat Flap is a white cat flap with exclusive entry for a programmed pet. It reads a cat’s unique 15-digit microchip ID and also supports programmable collar keys sold separately for cats without microchips. A 4-way manual lock gives you control over entry and exit.
The flap is designed for buyers who want selective access rather than a simple open door. It also includes weather stripping and 2 magnetic locking points, which are stated as part of its insulation and draught-reducing design.

What to Compare Before Buying
- Pet identification method: This flap works with a 15-digit microchip ID, so check that the pet you want to programme has a compatible microchip.
- Access control: Compare the 4 lock settings with the level of control you want over entry and exit.
- Number of pets: The flap supports up to 39 other programmed pets, which matters if more than one animal will use it.
- Alternative access: If a pet does not have a microchip, collar keys are sold separately.
