Overview
Mounting this PetSafe Staywell flap in a door or wall gives a cat its own way in and out. A swinging flap hangs in a white plastic frame, and a manual four-way lock sets whether it opens in, out, both or neither.
The tunnel included in the title makes it usable in thicker doors and walls. Material is given as glass with a plastic frame, which is unclear. No electronic features are involved, so it works without batteries or a microchip.
Who it's for
A household with one or more cats and a door or wall that can take a cut-out is the situation. Homes that need to admit only specific animals, or have heavier pets, should choose a larger or smarter flap.
Pros and cons
- Four manual locking settings
- No batteries needed
- White frame matches many doors
- Thickness figures conflict
- Material entry is unclear
- Not for large pets
- No microchip control
Performance notes
The flap swings on a hinge and the four-way lock selects which direction it opens, giving control over a cat's movement. A tunnel extends the frame through a thicker door or wall so the flap works at the right depth. Installation needs a cut-out sized to the frame.
