Thread: cat carrier recommendations?

I need a good carrier to take Simba on short trips to vet and groomer. Can anyone recommend a good one and what size. I have a large round wicker one but it's an awkward shape to carry, he is getting a bit cramped in it and I don't trust the door on it. Thanks.

Hi Karena,if you go into search & put cat carrier into the thread there is quite a lot of posts which hopefully could help your search,also I think there are sites mentioned where you can get them from,I always think whatever type you go for,plastic,wire,canvas etc if it has a top opening it can be to great advantage,none more so than if furry ever has an accident or poorly,its a lot easier getting them in & out through a top opening.
I have wire & canvas,some don't mind whichever they are in another one travels better in the wire one that is smaller than the canvas type,he seems to feel more secure without a lot of space round him,happy hunting....x

Hi Karena

We've just invested in two of these 'big boys' and I have to say, the quality is absolutely fantastic. Will be taking our two on holiday to Devon in August and they've plenty of room to allow them a comfy journey to the West Country!

Service from the company was excellent too

Nice, lots of growing room too

I got the Atlas 30 with the open top option, which I have been very happy with so far. It is certainly big enough for a while, and I think Roxy loves to look outside - she always strolls into the carrier all by herself when I get it out, which can't be a bad thing...

I went for this when it was £30 - now £23.80:

You will need a big blanket or padding for the base, which I got from the same feed shop as I get my chick crumb - I think it's meant for dog beds - which was £15 or so.

Do they all fit in it?
