Your cat doesn't eat dinner, it ambushes it. Cade serves the meal in six small chomps, so the gulping (and the 3 a.m. cleanup) stops.
Mitzy has an eating disorder. She would inhale her food and bring it right back up, so she had to be hand-fed tiny portions every fifteen minutes, by hand, around the clock.
Rather than buy some mass-produced feeder shipped in from overseas, we built our own. Cade is hand-made, 3D-printed in food-grade filament, and comes apart in seconds so it is easy to clean.
Mitzy and her brother Kirby are Cade's first beta testers.
A lid with one opening sits over a turning plate of six sealed wells. The plate steps once on a timer, bringing the next portion to the opening while the rest stay covered.
Your cat can only reach the single well at the opening. The other five stay shut, so there is nothing to gulp ahead.
Every fifteen minutes or so, the plate turns one notch and the next portion appears. A whole meal, spread calmly across the hour.
The cooled, app-driven feeders are built to drop a whole meal on a timer and keep it cold. Cade does one thing instead: it paces a single meal into six small portions so a fast eater slows down. No cooling, no subscription, just a sturdy feeder built by hand.
Spoon one meal across the six wells and close the lid. Sealed tight, no sneaky previews.
Pick the pace, a small portion about every fifteen minutes, then walk away.
Cade brings one well to the opening at a time and keeps the rest sealed, so your cat finally eats like it has manners.
Pacing the meal stops the gorge that brings food straight back up.
Deliver the small, frequent portions your vet asks for, without hand feeding all day.
Steady, measured meals that help build slower, healthier habits over time.
The bully cannot clear the dish in one go while the others miss out.
Cade supports your veterinarian's feeding plan. It does not diagnose or treat, and it is not a replacement for veterinary care.
Cade is not a mega-brand product shipped over by the container load. Every unit is designed and 3D-printed to order by a small American maker, then checked and packed by hand.
The same feeder, built around the brain you want.
A dial and a button, no wifi. Set the pace and go. The easy, low-cost everyday feeder.
Schedule and adjust everything from your phone over wifi, with a status light and local buttons that keep working even if the wifi drops.
No power at all. A wind-up mechanism paces the meal with printed gears. Wind it, fill it, done.
Cade was built around one idea: a cat eats best when the meal comes a little at a time. Everything else follows from that.
Yes. Cade is an automatic slow feeder built for wet food. It serves one meal as six small portions on a timer and keeps the rest sealed, so a fast eater slows down and cannot gorge.
Pacing a meal is a common way to reduce the gulping that brings food back up, and Cade does this automatically. It supports your veterinarian's feeding plan and is not a medical treatment.
Six. Cade turns one well to the opening at a time and keeps the other five sealed until they are served.
The Smart model uses wifi and a phone app. The Basic model runs without wifi using a dial and a button, and the Manual model needs no power at all.
No. Cade paces a single meal that is eaten within about an hour, so no cooling is needed.
