SureFlap Solves Cat Owners’ Problems
No collar required to use SureFlap:
Magnetic and infra-red cat flaps require collars
Many cats find collars uncomfortable
Some cats develop skin irritation from collars
A cat wearing a collar can become tangled in tree
branches and other objects*
Collars can easily be lost, leaving a pet locked outside
No need to pay for replacement collars
Using SureFlap Inside the Home
SureFlap can be fitted to internal doors to
segregate pets within the home:
To prevent aggression between cats in the same
household who do not share the same social
group.
To provide a pet with a special diet or long-term
medication in food, but preventing other pets

How Does SureFlap Work?
A continuous beam of infra-red light reflects off the bottom of the tunnel.
When a cat puts its head in the tunnel it breaks the beam of light and activates the microchip reader.
1. Cat Approaches Flap
The microchip reader generates an electromagnetic field which provides power to the microchip in the cat’s neck.
2. Cat Activates Microchip Reader
The microchip communicates with SureFlap and its unique number is checked against the microchip numbers stored in memory.
3. SureFlap Reads Cat’s Microchip Number
If the microchip number matches one of those stored in the memory, the door unlocks allowing the cat to enter the house.
