Sherpa Element Airline Approved Dog & Cat Carrier, Medium, Gray

Fantastic quality & comfort

I purchased this exact carrier from another well-known pet store when I adopted a cat last year, and I'm about to purchase it a second one from Chewy for the new kitten I just adopted. This carrier is absolutely beautiful. The bottom doesnt sag at all and the mesh is probably the highest quality I've ever seen. Both cats play in and around it (I keep it out so theyre not afraid of it), and frequently claw the mesh areas, and in the year since I've gotten it there is no sign of wear at all. That's almost impossible to believe! There is mesh on three sides, and the top and one longer side is solid to give kitty a sense of security. There is plenty of room to turn around, though since it's only a carrier and not a kennel, there really isn't any room to sit up. You can always unzip the top hatch just enough to let them poke their heads out, though, which works nicely. The straps are sturdy and comfortable, and the materials are good, thick, and durable. Sherpa did not stint at all on this bag. It's a little on the pricey side for me, but it's such a well-made bag I'll never have to buy another one. I would recommend this carrier to anyone who needs it for their smaller animal. My cats are both under 12 pounds. The only thing I could wish for is that it came in different colours (blue please!) and that a shoulder strap was included. Nonetheless, I'm buying another one. =)
