Inaccurate dimensions listed in description
The dimensions listed for the size small carrier are: 19.4" x 12.8" x 10" with a weight capacity of 10lbs. This is a little bigger than the soft sided carrier I use for my 12lb cat, so I thought it would be perfect for my new kitten to grow into. HOWEVER, that measurement includes the 1" border that surrounds the outside of the carrier, and every surface inside the carrier is rounded and tapered. Meaning, the small size is TINY, and in no universe could it hold a 10lb cat, as demonstrated by Fitz in my pictures who is exactly 10lb. The actual, internal, functional measurements of this carrier are: Length 15" x Width 8" x Height 10" (I didn't buy this for my adult cats, they were just the gracious models. The carrier was meant for a new 6 week old kitten. I could see immediately that he would outgrow it in no time).
A better carrier
My partner bought three of these for his cats. I was impressed with the ease of loading a prickly cat through the top, when I took one to the vet. It was sturdier than my carriers. I haven't assembled mine yet, but my partner said it was easy, only took a few minutes. If the current stray moves in, I'll be getting another. We chose the medium to give more space gor cats to move around on a long trip. The only quibble I had is that the box is tapered so the floor and roof are smaller than the "waist". I prefer a more square shape to get maximum floor space for the space it takes up in the car.
Front door is a little difficult to open and close
I like this kennel, but the front door is difficult to open and close. It seems to stick and I need to wiggle it a little bit to get it closed and opened, which makes it difficult with the water dish on the front and spilling it. Otherwise, I love the top door to get our puppy out.
Top door doesn’t stay open
I purchased this carrier specifically because it had a top load feature. Unfortunately, the top door does not stay open. The door only flips open and falls shut when you let go of it making it difficult to manage with one person if your cat is not a fan of being in a carrier. Unfortunately I didn’t try it out before our first vet appointment. I ended up having to reschedule. The carrier is fine if you have a second person or you don’t need the top load feature. Unfortunately it doesn’t work for us. I’m going to have to figure out what to do with it and how to get Maggie cat to the vet
Faulty Product
I really should have returned this, but I McGuyvered it with duct tape. The holes in the top/bottom don't match with the side door metal rods. If the bottom rods are in the holes, the top rods CANNOT match up with the top holes. Also, because there is a top door, and because the carrying handle is only attached to that door, and because the top door is only held in place by hinges on one side and 2 metal rods going through 2 holes in the plastic, I worry about putting any weight at all in this carrier. In fact, I haven't used it yet, even though I duct taped the heck out of it. I have a few very light cats and I'll see how I feel about carrying them in it. Really, I should have returned it. I would NOT recommend buying this product.
Works Well
We have a 10 pound cat, so we're not beating it up or anything, but it's worked great for us. We have to give our cat who has kidney failure fluids at home, so he can't move too much when we're giving them to him. We have one person in the front distracting him (and his claws and teeth lol) while the other uses the top bit to do the fluids. Works way better than our previous methods! In general, it does seem sturdy and well put together outside of our specific use.
Awesome cat carrier!
Bought this as a second carrier because my two furballs are grown now and it's too hard to get them into one carrier. This carrier is exactly like my first one. Love the fact that you can open the carrier from the top and the front. My vet always remarks how much he likes this kind of carrier.
3rd one for us
I already have two of these. We just rescued an elderly Persian girl, so I needed a third. They are the purrfect size for a small cat. If you have a larger cat like a Maine Coon, I would get the next size up. Otherwise, these work purrfect for us.
Love top load carriers
So much easier to load a cat thru the large top opening rather than the small door as they do not have much of a chance to put the "brakes" on.
Functional
Durable, functional, cute. Nice crate for my small dog. Just wish door would stay open or had a hinge to keep it open as a safe space for my pup.
