The SureFlap Microchip Cat Door (Model 38530) is a selective-entry cat flap. It reads your cat's implanted microchip and unlocks only for pets you have registered. Stray cats and the neighbour's tom stay outside, so your home stays yours. If your cat is not chipped, it also works with a SureFlap RFID collar tag, sold separately. It reads the common microchip formats used here: 9-digit Avid Secure, 10-digit FDX-A and 15-digit FDX-B. You can store up to 32 pet identities, and that memory stays even if you take the batteries out. Setup is a single button press. There is no app, no hub and no Wi-Fi, so nothing to break and nothing to subscribe to. Locking is a simple 4-way dial: Open, In Only, Out Only, or Locked. Be clear on one limit. This base model has no app-scheduled curfew timer. If you want an automatic night curfew, you need the Cat Flap Connect version instead. For Dubai homes, this suits villa and townhouse owners with a garden or a safe rear yard, where a cat comes and goes through an exterior door or wall. Tenants can fit it too, but check your tenancy first, since it needs a hole cut in the door, glass or wall. It runs on 4 AA batteries for up to a year. Sold in White, Brown and Grey/White, with a 3-year warranty.

This is a battery flap, not a mains device, so there is no plug and nothing to wire into your Type-G sockets or DEWA supply. That keeps fitting simple in a Dubai villa. The AA batteries last up to a year, but heat can shorten that, so watch the red low-battery light through summer and use good alkaline cells. Fine desert dust can settle on the sensor and the seal, so a quick wipe now and then keeps the flap reading chips cleanly and closing flush. Most Dubai buyers fit this on a villa or townhouse door leading to a garden or rear yard. Apartment owners rarely have a suitable exterior door, so it fits fewer flats. The current Amazon.ae listing ships from Amazon's Global Store with import charges in the price, so UAE stock can be thin. Buy through us and we handle sourcing, fitting and the 3-year warranty locally.
