Catit Cabrio Multi-Functional Cat Kennel

Yes, I struggled a bit to put it together and, initially, closing the top seemed iffy, but I have learned to love it. I volunteer in rescue and handling a cat one doesn’t know very well is much more comfortable with this kind of opening and roominess. I can transport a mom and kittens in it, and they will continue to use it when left open in the foster room. My own vet loves it. The rescue vet will often just treat my fosters in it without taking them out. It IS heavy, but I wouldn’t write it off!

Great carrier with the snap-open top makes it really easy to put the cat in and take out.

Absolute waste of money! Cheap plastic. Not a tight fit. Won’t stay together if animal in carrier. Door opening is a pain to close. For a carrier that looked great, it’s a total failure - nothing good about it whatever.

I love this thing. The front and top openings are perfect for any cat who doesn't like to go into a carrier. I take the front door off, put a soft blanket in it and leave them in my bedroom so the cats can go in and out of them any time, and they smell like us, so when I take them to the vet every year for their checkups, it's not quite as stressful since the carrier smells like home. My girls are 10 lbs, and the interior, even with a cushy blanket, is roomy and what I would consider comfortable for a cat to travel in style.

The carrier is a cool color and style, however, the construction leaves a lot to be desired. I was able to assemble the carrier pretty quickly, just a little difficult. The most unfortunate thing is when the assembled carrier fell off my lap to the floor, empty, and the entire face came off. Had there been a cat inside it would have easily escaped. I would encourage the designer to look for more durable materials and engineering.

I wasnt thinking this was going to be has heavy as it is. It took some work putting it together. It is very cute in color with lots of air ventilation and perfect sized traveling cups that do stay in place. My only complaint is that when you go to open it from the top it does not want to go back together. You have to work at it and when you have a stressed kitty coming home from the vet office it is not the best put together carrier. I paid the price for the color but as spendy as it is I wouldnt recommend this for vet visits.

I've had the Cabrio cat kennel for many years (10+) and it's held up well. I was surprised to see so many negative reviews. It does take a little time to get it put together, but once all the pieces are in properly it is a solid good quality carrier. If pieces are falling off it it may not have been put together correctly. Of course, the quality may have gone down since I originally purchased it. I like that it has a no skid bottom inside and lots of ventilation. I put a puppy pad inside and cover that with a towel or blanket for my cat. It isn't lightweight and might be a problem for some people carrying it. I've never had the front door pop off or any other issues with this carrier.

It is large and can be unwieldly to carry when a cat is inside it. I and my cats are happy with this sturdy long lasting carrier. … more

I have an elderly kitty and the open top allows me to get her in easily for trips to the vet and the large clear door allows her to see everything and feel more comfortable while in the carrier. It has been a real godsend in making the process of caring for her less stressful for both of us!

We were so excited to get this carrier! We had decided that we’d work on getting some new carriers to transport our cats to and from vet appointments. The cheap ones weren’t very sturdy and were falling apart so we opted to try one that was more expensive. Unfortunately more expensive doesn’t mean better quality in this case. The assembly was simple, but the “cabrio” feature can hardly be used properly. The two sides will not join together without a log of struggle, and one of the kittens got her paw stuck in there while I was trying to get it closed for a trial run. It took far too long to get it secured, and even then it didn’t feel sturdy. I’m afraid to use it to take any of our fosters We were so excited to get this carrier!

I purchased a carrier to take a feral cat that had adopted us to be spayed. I already had a collapsible canvas carrier but my house cat does not have claws so I was concerned that this cat with claws would tear through the fabric. Plus my house cat the smarty she is knows how to unzip from the inside, so we have to used a paper clip clip to hold the zippers in place. I came across this one it’s a hard plastic, apparently better quality than the several I saw at the vets, those cats had chewed or clawed larger holes from the vents. This one checked all the boxes. It was well thought out. It opens both from the top so that the vet was able to lay her gently in there, it also opens from the I purchased a carrier to take a feral cat that had adopted us to be spayed.

Which is plexi glass giving her a less claustrophobic feeling and me easy viewing. A great easy open latch for me, but because of its placement in the solid part of plexiglass she can not get her paw out to open it. It has separate water and food bowls, which can be pulled out through a little fold down hatch, so you don’t have to open the cage to feed and water. A bar between prevents the cat from getting out that way. Besides a handle it has an over the should strap which for someone who walks with a cane it a god send, there is enough length so I can put across my body . It does break down into a lower footprint. The only thing that would make this complete is a drawstring bag to keep the 4 components together. Great carrier, great price. Worth it! … more
