Sherpa Original Deluxe Lattice Print Airline-Approved Dog & Cat Carrier Bag

I recently adopted a cat who is 9 pounds and built very petite. The medium sized carrier was the perfect size for her, and it's very cute. I adopted her in Iowa, and I live in Ohio, so I was worried that driving with her all that way would be uncomfortable for her, but she curled up and relaxed the whole way. It seemed like there was plenty of space for her. She spent some time clawing at the side, and that didn't damage the carrier at all. The zippers are actually a little difficult to zip, which is a great feature because I don't have to worry about the zipper easily coming open while I'm carrying my cat around. I have a 12 pound cat and a 21 pound cat, and I think this carrier would be I recently adopted a cat who is 9 pounds and built very petite.

I think the tag said that this product is good for an animal up to 15 pounds, and I would agree. … more

Our rescue came with a hard carrier which worked just fine until it didn't. On the recommendation of another cat mama, I bought our boy the Sherpa carrier as a replacement. The lining is truly as soft as they said it was. There's a great zipper pocket at one end and the other end is mesh so the cat can see out of the carrier (as are the sides). I love that we can put him into the carrier through the mesh end (zippers open) or from the top which also zippers open. The handles snap together for easy carrying (our boy is 20lbs) and also includes a convenient longer strap. Did I mention how soft and plush the inside bedding is? It's also removable and washable (although I haven't tried doing so yet Our rescue came with a hard carrier which worked just fine until it didn't.

Purchased this for a new puppy arrival. I was a little disppointed that the sherpa was not as plush/soft as it looks in the photo. I would have gotten a different one.

This is my second carrier - and the only reason I bought another is because my first one was destroyed in a house fire. This is the best quality soft carrier I have found. I always keep it open near my bed, and the cats love to relax and play in it too. The multiple zippers make it easy to get the cats in and out of it. I have 3 cats and 2 of these - 1 cat is 12lbs the other two weigh about 15lbs between them - and these are perfect for traveling. The mesh is very strong, and the handles too. Top quality and the cats get to see what is going on around them. Small enough to pack away when not needed, unlike the big plastic types that take up so much space.

I ordered a Sherpa carrier to carry my dog on a plane from Phoenix to New York. lt was supposed to be delivered in Arizona on or before 11/212020. It was NOT. It arrived in NY on 12-1-2020. Obviously, I don't need it now. I will return if possible.

I’ve had my Sherpa cat carrier for over 20 years - and use it only for trips to the vet. It still looks like new. My kitties have been mostly compliant about letting me put them inside, and sometimes I unzip the top just a bit so they can pop their head out. I no longer have the fleece liner for the bottom so I lay a folded towel in there for comfort. Very sad to say my most recent use of this carrier was to transport my dear almost 18-year-old Main Coon, Lorenzo, for emergency euthanasia this past Sunday, September 27, the eve of Yom Kippur. He was crashing with end-stage renal failure. The soft carrier was at least comfortable for his final journey.

I thought about replacing it with a new one because the odor of his having soiled himself had permeated the material, but discovered that it is washable by hand in soapy water. Ready to be used again for happier times. … more

Perfect for my adult cat and for me. This carrier is more manageable for me because it is light weight and I can carry it so much easier than the hard plastic carrier that I had. And, so much easier to put my cat in because I can use the top opening to put my cat in it!

Love that this is lighter weight than our plastic carriers and has more viewing area for the cats. Perfect for traveling.

Bella Lee the kitten enjoys it. We love it. I will continue to using Chewy. Wonderful, wonderful. I can't ask for anything more.

I have two large (10 and 13 lb) cats and both of them love this carrier. The larger cat was getting anxiety in a normal plastic cat crate and would pee in it. My vet recommended this type of carrier and I’m so glad she did! My large cat appears to barely fit inside, but he loves that it’s so cozy. It’s never a struggle to get him in. In fact I can set it on the floor and he waltzes right in. It’s also easy to carry!
