Description
Feeding becomes much harder when one cat needs prescription food, another needs calorie control, and the boldest cat keeps stealing both meals. This feeder is built for that exact problem instead of treating every cat in the home as if they eat the same way.
SmartPaw selected the RFID model because it solves a real household bottleneck: individualized feeding access, better diet consistency, and cleaner meal accountability in multi-cat spaces.
Product highlights
- RFID collar-tag recognition opens the bowl lid for the assigned cat instead of every pet nearby.
- Helps reduce food stealing in homes where cats need different calorie targets, diets, or medication routines.
- App-connected tracking gives a clearer view of who ate and when the feeder was accessed.
- The stainless steel bowl and adjustable lid response support easier daily cleanup and smoother pet adoption.

Care and setup notes

What pet parents like about it

FAQ
Does every cat need a collar tag?
Yes. The feeder is designed around RFID tag recognition, so the assigned pet needs the included tag for controlled meal access.
Can this stop food stealing completely?
It is built to reduce that problem significantly, especially for routine meals, though supervised introduction still helps in competitive households.
Who is this feeder best for?
It is strongest in multi-cat homes where feeding fairness matters more than simply automating a single shared bowl.
