In reply to Chari. Hi Chari! The SureFeed Microchip Pet feeder works with collar tag or a microchipped cat so only the authorized cat can eat from it. However, the feeder has a free feeding system without timer and you need timed meals. What I can suggest you is creating a feeding station using selective automatic cat door, you can check my article here. Hope that helps!

Hi! I have two cats. We think one may be diabetic, and can only have wet food. He wakes me up in the middle of the night every night to be fed. I am looking for a selective feeder that can give him numerous small wet food meals timed throughout the day/night, but won’t allow the other cat to eat his special food. Is there anselective feeders that has the feature of being timed to feed multiple meals throughout the day? Thank you in advance!

Hi Rob I am sorry to hear about that horrible experience you suffered. Regarding your question, gravity feeders are practical because you don’t need batteries or complicated systems for them to work, however most gravity feeders need a little shaking once in a while for the kibble to drop to the tray. This is due to the fact that the accumulated dry food inside the hopper needs a little help to keep dropping towards the tray unless you use very small round kibble. If a feeder has a large capacity the need of a “touch” to the hopper may be less often. The Bergan Elite feeder has a capacity of 13 lbs (not sure if enough food for 7 days with 5 cats though). Also, if the cats are smart enough they can help the feeder to release more food by sticking their paws inside the chute in which case it wouldn’t be necessary to shake the hopper.

I wish I could help with more ideas, thanks for taking care of those cats, I really thank you for that!! Take care.

Hi. I’m looking for a rugged, simple gravity feeder, that can be left unattended and filled once a week. I look after 5 wonderful feral cats at our company’s previous premises. We have relocated and nobody has yet moved into the old property, so the cats are left without anyone to care for them. I have been going daily to feed them, but last week, I was hijacked at gunpoint at the property as I was locking the gate (took my car, laptop, phone, wallet etc etc) so I am reluctant to go there as often as I was. I want a feeder (or a few) that I can fill once a week, and that will dispense food over the course of the week. Any ideas or suggestions would be most welcome. Many thanks. Rob
