Sliding glass and patio doors

Sliding glass and patio doors are the most common place for a cat door in Abu Dhabi apartments and villas, because a sliding insert avoids altering the door itself. Our sliding door pet door insert sits in the track of your sliding door, so the glass is not cut, the frame is not drilled, and the insert can come out again when you move. If your sliding door is double glazed, a new factory-tempered panel is the alternative, made with the cat door opening already in it. Either way, your cat gets in and out without you opening the patio door, and the heat stays outside.

Three things Abu Dhabi cat owners should know first

Your existing tempered glass cannot be cut. Tempered glass shatters if it is cut after it has been made. That is why we do not cut your existing panel. Instead, we make a new factory-tempered panel with the cat door opening already in it, and fit that panel in place of your existing one.

Your original glass is stored for swap-back. We keep your original glass safe, so the panel can be swapped back when you move out or if you ever want the door returned to how it was. That is what makes the job rental-friendly in practice, not just in name.

Fitting in Abu Dhabi takes one to two days. Cat doors in Abu Dhabi are fitted within one to two days. We will confirm your slot when you send your photo and measurements.

How it works

1. Send a photo and a few measurements. WhatsApp a photo of the door or window, plus the width and height of the opening you have in mind. Tell us whether it is glass, a sliding door, a window or a wall, and whether you rent or own.

2. Choose the cat door with us. We confirm the cat door size for your cat and whether a microchip cat door is right for you, and we confirm the panel type — a new factory-tempered glass panel, a sliding insert, or a wall fitting.

3. Your panel is made. The new panel is made with the opening already in it. Nothing is cut on site into tempered glass, and there is no drilling into your existing panel.

4. We fit it and show you how it works. On the visit we fit the panel or insert, seal it against heat and dust, store your original glass, and show you how the cat door, lock and microchip reader work before we leave.

Where we fit a cat door in Abu Dhabi

Most Abu Dhabi cat doors go into one of four places, and each one needs a different approach.

Glass doors: a new factory-tempered panel replaces your existing glass panel, with the cat door already fitted — see our guide to pet doors in double-glazed glass.

Sliding doors: a sliding door pet door insert sits in the track of your sliding door, so the door itself is not altered.

Windows: a window cat flap works well in apartments.

Walls and wooden doors: the cat door is fitted through the wall or door with a tunnel section, sealed and finished on both sides. If you rent, a rental-friendly pet door option such as a sliding insert or a panel swap is usually the better route, because the original glass is stored and can be swapped back.

Sizing: regular or large, and microchip or manual

Size matters more than brand. A cat door that is too small will put your cat off using it, and a cat door that is too big is harder to seal against the heat. A regular cat door suits most cats up to about 4.5 kg. A large cat door suits bigger cats, and any cat over that weight or still growing. If your cat is close to the limit, size up.

A microchip cat door reads your cat’s existing vet microchip and opens only for that chip. That keeps neighbourhood strays outside, with no collar tag to lose.

Brands we fit

We fit the brands Abu Dhabi cat owners already ask for, and we will tell you honestly if a brand’s cat door does not suit your door: SureFlap, PetSafe, and Closer Pets. If you already own a cat flap, send us its brand and size on WhatsApp and we will confirm whether it fits your door.
