Vancpet VC009 RFID Automatic Cat Feeder, 400 ml

Vancpet VC009 is an RFID automatic cat feeder designed to help manage individual meals in multi-cat homes. It recognizes a paired collar tag, supports wet or dry food, and connects by Bluetooth for setup and feeding-history sync. The listing says the raised stand is sold separately and batteries are not included.

At a glance

Paired RFID collar tag access is intended to let the assigned cat reach its meal and help reduce food sharing.
Removable 400 ml bowl is described for wet or dry food. Two pre-freezable ice packs are claimed to keep wet meals cooler for short feeding periods, not to refrigerate electrically.
Bluetooth supports setup and feeding-history syncing. Saved settings are claimed to continue normal operation after the phone disconnects.
Power options are USB-C or four C-size batteries, allowing placement away from an outlet when batteries are used.
The optional compatible raised stand may bring the tag closer to the sensor and improve recognition consistency, according to the listing.

Aggregate ratings lean positive, with most ratings in the five-star category, but a notable one-star share makes the overall picture less uniform. The ratings do not explain the reasons behind either response, so they cannot establish how reliably RFID access works or how well the feeder suits a particular cat.

Frequently asked questions

How does the feeder control which cat can eat?

The listing says it recognizes a paired RFID collar tag and opens for the assigned cat. It is intended to help reduce another pet's access to that bowl.

Can it be used with wet food?

The removable 400 ml bowl is listed for wet and dry food. Two pre-freezable ice packs are claimed to keep wet meals cooler for short feeding periods, but this is not electric refrigeration.

Does it need to stay connected to a phone?

Bluetooth is used for setup and feeding-history syncing. The listing says saved settings allow normal feeding operation to continue when the phone is disconnected.

What power options are listed?

The feeder can use USB-C power or four C-size batteries. Batteries are not included.

Is a raised stand included?

No. The listing describes a compatible raised stand as sold separately and says it may improve tag recognition by bringing the tag closer to the sensing area.
