Pet Magasin Hard Cover Collapsible Cat Carrier - Pet Travel Kennel with Top-Load & Foldable Feature for Cats, Small Dogs Puppies & Rabbits

My cats have started sleeping in it when not in use, so I’d say cat approved

My house tiger, 10-pound Posey, has to take frequent trips to the vet. I switched from a hard-sided carrier to this one several months ago, and am extremely happy with its size and ease of transport. It’s a great price also. I would not buy this for a pet larger than 15 pounds or so, but it’s perfect for my 10-pound and 12-pound kitties.

I originally purchase in Mar 2019 and it is now November 2019. I bought this carrier in 2009 to bring my puppy Yorkie home. After 10 Years I wanted to get him an identical replacement style because he loved it so much. The unit held up beautiful but it was time for his 10 year birthday. I was elated to find this one at a better price than the original from 2009. It has excellent quality and it is totally collapsible if necessary. The zippers are tricky as they are male to female installation, top and bottom, so it can be tedious to get started, but it still only takes a few minutes to put together. I don't take mine apart, I dont recommend that on a daily basis but it is fine for storage or cleaning. I leave it out with front door open and he just loves taking naps in it. It is so roomy being oval shaped he can curl up in all directions. When I cant find him, he is always in this little condo. I bought several sherpa beds 18" @ $6 on Amazon and they fit perfect. I just toss them in the washer weekly and keep them fresh. He is shy of 7lbs and he has a lot of room, so it can accomodate a bit larger pet. He can see well from 360 degrees, we cant see as well from the outside in but I love that I can stick my fingers through the holes when he is a little anxious, like waiting at the vet and it soothess him to have that human touch. I don't understand the negative reviews. Maybe they didn't install the zippers well, we all have those jackets that you connect at the bottom to zip, its just like that, but just like any zipper, make sure you get the threading going correctly. Mine is well made and high quality, and beautiful. I never had any zipper trouble in over 10 years, or any issue for that matter. For a cat I would leave the top unzipped to jump in and out at home, he could shred through the interior eventually if he is prone to doing that excessively, depends on your cat. For a dog, I would leave the front mesh unzipped and it is his little Igloo. I highly recommend this carrier and you will get so many compliments. It also has a sturdy handle at the top for carrying or securing the seatbelt through it when travelling.

I love how it looks and I’m definitely going to enjoy using it but I’m never going to collapse it because it came collapsed and was frustrating to assemble. I reiterate though, it’s so cute and a good value!

The media could not be loaded. I was iffy about purchasing this carrier because of the negative reviews but I can say that this carrier IS AMAZING!!! It’s not the easiest to set up but the paper instructions show you how to set it up. I suggest to set the three parts side by side and then look for the zipping parts and zip them up gently like you would a zip jacket. The mesh in the front area is pretty strong and unless you have a determined escape kitty you should be fine. My kitty’s nails are trimmed so I didn’t have to worry much about it. The side is not a hard plastic like I thought but it’s still a durable fabric. It feels like a thicker durable yoga mat - thats probably the best way I could describe it. I love the holes and pattern- there’s plenty of breathability because of that pattern. The top and the bottom are a hardened foam and the bottom part has little legs to prop up the rest of the cage. The carrier comes with a little fleece removable pad and it feels like a fleece sweater- it’s a nice addition to the carrier and a good idea to have it so you cats scent absorbs inside the pad. I can only hope that this would be easy to clean but I will keep an updates section on that when I do. My kitten also loves it so much that she decided to nap in it. She’s been in there for about 2 1/2 hours now. She is about 3 months old/4 pounds and has plenty of room to walk around and stand and stretch. It’s also very easy to pick up the cage when she’s in and no strain to the handle or bottom or top of the zipped part of the cage. My other tabby tried it and he’s larger than she is. He’s 5 years/12 pounds and I would say he’s a big cat. He fits in there but definitely not comfortably. For reference he’s about There’s no strain on the zippers when he’s in and I try to pick up the cage. For reference he’s about 18inches long when he sits like a sphinx; and he can only fit in this cage if he curls into a ball which he doesn’t look comfortable in. I would recommend this for smaller cats because you want your cat to be comfortable. Overall this is an amazing buy!

This is very sturdy and well made and my cat feels comfortable in it. He can't tear this carrier up as easy either.

Easy to set up. My young cat loves it and goes in it on his own!
