I have another pet carrier and since we now have 2 cats, I had to buy another. I was very disappointed when this arrived today. The plastic is so cheap and bendy and had black marks all over it. I had to scrub it off! I wouldn't pay $15 for it. Sending it back!

I've had this pet carrier for 6+ years. My cat HATES travelling around in a car. She doesn't like being moved around or being uncomfortable. This carrier gives her the freedom to shift and not be crammed or uncomfortable. It also allows her to see everything that is going on around her so she knows that we're with her. VERY effective for trips to the vet. The price is amazing for how long this carrier truly lasts! Hope this helps! (P.S. The only thing that I was a little disappointed about was that it's a bit difficult to clean out, but overall it's still great!!)

Pros: comfortable, easy to assemble, sturdy, price

Cons: difficult to clean

I got this cage for my cat, who I can say is a really big cat! We used it to travel when we went places for a while, and it was sturdy and worked great! My cat sadly passed away though, but we took my grandmas cat cause she was allergic. She is a small cat but his cage is good for vet visits and stuff like that.... right now i use it for my rabbit when we go places and it is perfect!

I bought this for my cat just after we got him just so we could take him to the vet. It was fine the two times it was used while he was a kitten, but is now far too small for him to even think of going in, which is a shame.

Pros: easy to assemble

As the title states, Ive had my carrier for 5+ years. I wouldnt recommend this for fat/very large/heavy cats. My 7 lb cat was fine in this carrier. Ive even carried a mother cat and 2 kittens in this at the same time. It was fine, until the kittens grew up. This has never broken or come apart on me accidently, but when carrying my 11 lb cat, I was afraid it would (the bottom will feel like it's bending due to excessive weight). So for extra support I carried it from the bottom. Easy to take apart when needed and easy to assemble and disassemble. Sturdy, unless your P is >7-8 lb.

Pros: comfortable, easy to assemble, easy to clean, sturdy, price

I've been using this carrier since my cat was just a little kitten, now she's almost 4 years old and the carrier still is in good shape. She's not the most placid in the carrier, but I can't control that. I love how she can use it as a bed, and how the little pouch on top can carry treats. One day though, we were gonna go to the vet's, the top unattatched from the bottom and one of the 'clips/claws' broke off, and the thing on top broke too. I was able to assemble it back together but since then my cat never wants to come near the carrier. Otherwise, it's sturdy, easy to clean, and long lasting.

Pros: comfortable, easy to assemble, easy to clean, sturdy

Cons: fragile

Good for kittens or a small cat

This kennel has held up well for occasional use. The hardware strength and durability seem to be appropriate for a kennel meant for a small animal, and the plastic doesn't feel cheap. The seat belt slot is well placed and is a nice feature to have.

I bought it when my cat was small, and was later a bit worried that when older, he might find it uncomfortable. I think it best for smaller cats, and I think a larger kennel would be better for anything more than a trip across town. My cat can't stand completely in it, but he can turn around. In any case, he does not appear to be bothered by riding in it for short trips. I picked him up this morning from the spay/neuter clinic and even though we're home now, he's been returning to the kennel to nap. It can't have been too traumatic or uncomfortable.

I've made it a point to keep the kennel out and available much of the time, so the cats are used to it and don't panic if I encourage them to go inside. I usually have the door off when we're not actually going anywhere so it isn't being knocked open and closed. I like that it's small enough to fit easily underneath a side table, where it isn't in the way.

I'm giving it four stars because I do think they should specify that this is best for small cats or kittens, not cats in general.

Pros: easy to assemble, easy to clean, sturdy

Simple carrier for SMALL pets, not necessarily cat

I bought two of these for my 1 year old cats. The larger cat went in fine (with some treat bribery) and he just barely fit. The other cat wanted nothing to do with it and it was literally impossible to squeeze her in through the door opening. This carrier would be fine for rabbits, guinea pigs, kittens or puppies, but not adult cats. The construction is simple and not very heavy duty but sufficient for occasional use.

Pros: price, easy to assemble

This carrier was an inexpensive choice for a rabbit taxi. She fits in it well. I'm a bit concerned that she will find a way to chew through the carrying handle (where it connects to the inside top of the carrier), but she hasn't yet.

Pros: comfortable, easy to assemble, easy to clean

This carrier may be a little small for an adult cat. However, it is the perfect rat carrier! I left the kennel in their cage for a couple hours one day so they could get used to it. Now they're totally comfortable hanging out in it for car rides, cage cleans, etc. It's nice and roomy for them - I can fit about 6 rats in the carrier at a time if I need to. I like that it can separate into two pieces for easy cleaning and the little comparment on top is perfect for holding banana chips to treat my babies.

I love this carrier, i used it to bring home my pigglet, for my smaller cats, rats, guinea pig and hedgehog.
Because it can come apart its easy to clean and im able to carry it without the fear of the bottom falling off.

Would recommend this to friends, family and complete strangers :)

This is a great LITTLE carrier, Pet Smart does not carry the calm/quil cassette module refills but it works great. They also do not mention them in their description. The latching mechanism does not inspire confidence but they are convienent and well placed.

Pros: lots of access doors openings in top and front, calm/quil cassette

Cons: latches are tricky., may inadvertintly open.

This is a cute carrier. The first one I bought, the clips on the front by the door broke off, which in turn causes the door to easily fly open when your pet is inside. I thought it was a fluke and got another. The same exact thing happened with that carrier. I would not recommend this product. It's cute, but that's about the extent of it. If you don't want your animals to escape, don't buy this.

Pros: cute

Cons: easily breaks

I know a lot of people buy this for their adult cats but this carrier is not made for adult cats. This carrier is very good quality, it does not tend to break easily, it is also the perfect size for an airplane ride, and perfect for vet visits too. The color is very pretty too and makes the carrier attractive AND high quality. I would recommend this to anyone who has a small pet like a kitten or a small puppy, please do not buy this for adult cats or adult dogs it will be very uncomfortable and they will have no room to move around in because this is specially made for small pets.

This item is totally useless! We tried using it when we were going to the vet and the cat unlatched and came out! That was the first time we used it! Very Poor Product!!
Do not spend money on this! Buy something better!

I would only recommend this to younger cats, my cat almost couldn't fit it :\

Pros: holes for breathing for cats, cheap, good for kittens

Cons: bad quality, horrible latch, small, not roomy, cats want to get out, horrible for adult cats

I purchased the blue and tan version of this carrier for my kitten in store. He weighs about 8 pounds now and the carrier still feels very sturdy. I have been very happy with this product. I like the selt belt hook, the treat holder (wonderful for vet visits) and the removable door. I take the door off when at home and it becomes his little sleeping den. It's not a huge carrier so only time will tell if he grows out of it.

Pros: seat belt hook, treat holder

I have had this for a while and it is great! My dwarf rabbit uses it when we go on trips in the car since she doesn't like traveling in her cage. I love the color. I might use this as a crate for my chihuahua if I get one.

Pros: pink, easy to clean, easy to put together, comes with a food dish

i borrowed 2 of these carriers to transport my adult cats to a new condo. i got them in each one well enough, but 1 well aimed kick from my 12kg tomcat sent the wire gate flying. this led to a harrowing search that lasted hours and both cats were now terribly spooked and in hysterics for the trip. i eventually got them both in again, but had to secure the doors with twine and cover the opening with a towel also tied down in case they broke that down as well.
i am now in the market for a sturdier carrier for my Super KItties.

Pros: light weight cheap

Cons: too light for stronger animals flimsy door
