My cats aren't microchipped - can I still use OnlyCat?

Yes, you can still use OnlyCat even if your cats aren’t microchipped.

Here’s how it works:

• Microchip Access

OnlyCat can read standard pet microchips (as implanted by vets) or optional collar tags to selectively control which cats can enter.

• No Microchip Required for Contraband Detection

The Contraband Detection feature works independently of microchip access. This means your cats don’t need to wear a collar or have a microchip for OnlyCat to detect and block prey from being brought inside.

So while microchips or collar tags are useful if you want selective access by pet, they’re not required to benefit from prey detection.
