A battery-powered cat flap with microchip and timer function, allowing you to give your cat the access it needs, while keeping your home safe from uninvited feline visitors.The Cat Mate Elite Microchip Cat Flat with Timer Control is the ideal way to give your cat the freedom to come and go as it pleases, without the main disadvantage of a cat flap that is always open: the uninvited guests. This cat flap keeps your house as a no-go zone for neighbouring cats or, at night, foxes and martens that mistake it as an invitation to come inside, and saves you the hassle of opening the door or window yourself whenever your cat wants to come inside.
The Cat Mate Elite Microchip Cat Flap with Timer Control easily solves this problem in an innovative way. It recognises the microchip unique to your own cat and opens up to let it inside. The microchip recognition is only used to grant entry from outside to inside your home. Your cat can leave the house through the cat flap without microchip recognition. The majority of cats already have a microchip implanted, or you can use an RFID attached to your cat’s collar. The cat flap is extremely easy to programme and uses a simple four-way locking system: Unlocked, In Only, Out Only and Locked.
In addition, there is an innovative, easy-to-view LED-display that allows you to set specific times for your cat to come in and out. The panel also displays location indicators for up to 3 selected cats so you can see whether your cat is currently at home or out and about. You can also see the last time that your cat passed through the cat flap. The cat flap is draught- and weatherproof, thanks to its stable, high-quality polymer and brush-sealed flap.
The Cat Mate Microchip Cat Flap can be programmed for up to 9 cats and can be fitted in doors up to 100mm thick. Don’t worry if your cat already has a different RFID tag – the Cat Mate Microchip Cat Flap is compatible with most tags!

We bought this to prevent a visiting cat from eating all our cat’s food! At first, Pat the Cat was frightened by it. We ended up baiting it with treats to get her to use it. Now, of course, she just pops in and out at will. Highly recommended.
★★★★★
Keeps my cat safely in at night and let’s me sleep on the weekends without him sitting on me until I get up. Very useful!
★★☆☆☆
Really disappointed with this cat flap. I upgraded from a microchip cat flap due to one of my cats being hit by a car as the night was drawing in, so wanted to get a cat flap that I could set the open and closing times on . One of my cats is having real trouble getting in through the flap, sometimes it lets him in and sometimes it doesn't. The company have been helpful when contacted, but my poor cat is sometimes stranded outside and unable to get into the house :-(
★★★☆☆
we have this cat mate elite and it has started to fail. Useful functions, of timer and in only, etc. but the display goes funny and despite reset, new batteries the unit is starting to fail. Like another user we will have to replace or go back to a Sure Flap. Excellent functionality but not totally reliable
★★☆☆☆
I've had two of these. Started out great, but within a year, went haywire opening/closing of it's own accord with no cats near it! Manufacturer replaced as still within 3 year warranty, but the replacement they sent me has the same fault 2.8 years later! Now impossible to use as it keeps either locking them in or out, the display is broken and I've tried resetting and new batteries to no avail. Manufacturer refuses to replace the second unit.
★★★★☆
This cat flap is as good as previous reviews but I cannot for the life of me work out how to programme for the evening In Only mode so I have to do it manually at night and in the morning. The instructions need to be much clearer; I think there is a stage missing.
