Pretty great for a large cat if you don’t require a top door.
I have an 11 pound cat that is very long, like not fat just big. This carrier is a perfect size for him. I bought a cheap 24″ L x 18″ W x 11.2″ MidWest Bolster Pet Bed and it fits nicely and he seems to feel comfortable on it. He urinated in the carrier once and the pet bed absorded all the pee, and was very easy to wash after, just FYI…Anyway, he did seem very comfortable in the carrier and even went in there to sleep a few times after the three trips he’s taken it it (once the bed was washed) so he must find it cozy in there.Some other reviewers have complained about the build quality or lightness of the plastic of this particular size when compared to the bigger ones but I think it’s well made (and have used other carriers of the same size that I have felt I needed to hold from the bottom because they felt flimsy). If it were any heavier, it would be impossible to carry for more than a few steps (in the case of weaker people). It has both a clip-on top but also bolts and I appreciate that it has both. Some people opt to just use the clips but I would be worried the top would come off (a lot of the carriers with a top door only have clips or else the top door is where the handle is placed and I have noticed a lot of review of those other carriers mention that the bottom dropped or door opened rendering handle useless while the animal was in transit!). Consequently, I prefer a carrier for my cat without a top door. I find I have little if no trouble getting my cat in a carrier (I just place the carrier with the door at the top and lower my cat in quickly and even if he protests, he doesn’t have time to refuse). Anyway, the thing seems sturdy to me and I guess because it’s made for a dog, it also has a little more height so my tall cat can adjust more easily. It was also pretty easy to put together, only took five minutes or so…

Good kennel, just check your door size width before putting it together in a different room. 🙂
Typical kennel. Easy to put together and hopefully will work well with our upcoming trip in the RV. My only complaint is with me…. make sure you put it together where you plan to keep it. I had a heck of a time fighting to get it in the camper without having to take it fully apart. I did it, but may have taken as much time as if I had of taken apart. By that point it was me being stubborn. Size wise, our pup is 43lbs and this is for 50lb starting weight. I think it may be a little tighter quarters then I would like for my dog if he was 60-70lbs. So for us, it is perfect size.

I purchased this Petmate kennel for my two kitties. I got the medium size and it is good size. Much larger than needed, but I’m pleased. The kennel was easy to assemble. It’s great quality and very sturdy. I recommend Petmate kennel products.

Good, lightweight kennel.
Very sturdy, easy to assemble and break down as needed. It’s lightweight but gives my 60 lb dog plenty of space for him and his blankets and toys. We had a metal kennel as well, and this one is so much more convenient and offers more security for my dog.

Super pratique ! Lavable à souhait et on peut la défaire de manière à empiler les 2 parties pour la ranger.

We received broken peice and they don’t have return policy. Which is strange 😦. We have bought that for our pet to travel internationally but when we received it was broken and there was no option to change it.

I bought these before and they improved the screw nuts so it is easier to turn the nut on the screw. This has thinner plastic than the ones I bought years ago and the holes on the sides are larger and ovular. The screw nuts were an improvement and I like the overall design but the ones I bought before I felt were more durable with thicker plastic and thinner slits so my cats couldn’t stick their paws out.

I received this recently and have just come to assemble today. Mine is not the colour advertised but all cream[just dark clips]—but no great problem. It was ‘easyish’ to assemble. By that I mean I did have to push the clips together with a bit of ‘oomph’ but eventually all clipped into place. The fact that is was a little tight to clip is quite good as,hopefully, the clips will actually STAY clipped!!! It does seem sturdy enough but I have not bought the basket for any air-line travel only as a ‘stand-by’ basket for any vet trips to accommodate my 7kgs+ cat [or his smaller brother!!!] It does seem he will have quite a bit of room to stretch and be comfy. I cannot comment on the handles’ strength—- as I ‘ve stated its a ‘stand-by’. It appears good for my boys.
