SureFlap Microchip Cat Door-Give-Away!

 I would often see homes with traditional cat doors and  wonder if the cat can enter the home, what other creature  far less desirable  could possibly enter? The thought of creatures such as rats, raccoon, possum, etc. would make me shudder.

 Since I have an indoor kitty I didn't have to trouble myself with such things.

That is until I was asked if I would feature the SureFlap Microchip Cat Door on  Cat Chat.  At first I refused because I don't have a need for a cat door since I am in an apartment/condo building, but when I read about the features of this unique cat door I felt I had to share it with those of you who would find this product to be highly beneficial!

SureFlap originated in the United Kingdom and was invented by the President of SureFlap, Nick Hill, Ph.D. He is the proud pet parent of Flipper, a tuxedo cat that was the impetus behind the invention of SureFlap.  Before he invented SureFlap, Dr.Hill had a standard cat door that allowed other cats that followed Flipper home, inside. These cats  would fight with Flipper, eat his food and "spray" the kitchen!

Dr. Hill is a physicist and used his extensive educational background to create SureFlap. He feels his product will add a new level of convenience for cat owners who can't always be there to let their cat in or out. It allows the cat to enter or leave at its leisure while keeping stray, possibly dangerous animals, OUT. Dr.Hill wanted to create a high-tech cat door that would provide safety and peace of mind.

SureFlap:

Allows only cats whose microchips are stored within the product to enter a home.

It is powered by 4 AA batteries and only powers up when a cat tries to enter/leave a home.

SureFlap works with a cat's existing FDXA, FDXB or Avid Secure/Encrypted microchip (these encompass the vast majority of microchip types).

SureFlap will work even if a cat wears a collar with a metallic bell or tag.

SureFlap stores the unique identities of up to 32 cats.

SureFlap is compact and suitable for most cat breeds with its 5.59" wide by 5.39" tall entry door.  (Some large breeds of cat, such as the Maine Coon, may have difficulty using it. They are currently working to develop a larger version of SureFlap, which is appropriate for small dogs and larger cats and it should be available during the first half of 2012.

SureFlap is easy to install in doors, windows and walls and glass mounting.

In full disclosure we were not compensated for this blog post. We were offered a SureFlap but with our living situation there was no need for us to have one.  We gratefully accepted the offer of giving away one SureFlap to one of our lucky readers. We opted on our own to feature SureFlap because we liked its features and benefits and feel that it is a useful product. All opinions are strictly our own.
