Whether you’re thinking about getting a cat flap for your home or you want to replace your existing one, there are a lot of reasons to make that upgrade with a microchip cat flap. Installing a microchip cat flap not only keeps your cat safe and content but can also ensure the safety, security and happiness in your home, wherever you are in the UK. With years of experience fitting microchip cat flaps in homes nationwide, discover why cat owners across the UK trust Pet Flaps for their microchip cat flap needs.
What Are Microchip Cat Flaps?
Microchip cat flaps are cat flaps that selectively let your cats – and only your cats – into your home by reading their microchip. (If you haven’t microchipped your cat, we highly recommend you do so for their safety and your peace of mind.) The law in the UK changed recently (and will be enforced from June 2024) so if your cat goes outside (or reaches 20 weeks old), by law, they now need to be microchipped – failure to do so can lead to a £500 fine! Ensure your cat stays legally compliant and secure your peace of mind with a safe and effective microchip cat flap today.
Secure Your Home
Conventional cat flaps might let your cat in and out, but what about other cats? Allowing the orange cat two houses over into your house to harass your cat, eat their food, mark your house as their territory, and scratch up your sofa isn’t exactly ideal, after all. Not only does this cause chaos, it also isn’t a pleasant place for your cat to feel safe.
Microchip cat flaps, however, are specifically calibrated to lock and unlock the flap based on the presence of your cat’s microchip. Other cats and animals are locked out by default, which gives you peace of mind.
Additionally, you may have concerns about human home intruders attempting to access a home via a conventional cat flap, especially if that cat flap is mounted in a window or somewhere above-ground near a patio or other structure. With a microchip cat flap, you have nothing to worry about.
