SportPet Designs Sport Pet Foldable Travel Cat Carrier with A Waterproof Bed – Front Door Plastic Collapsible Carrier, Gray (CM-10064-CS01)

AMAZING!!!
I’d recommend this in a heartbeat. My cat who is AWFUL to get into carriers—I’m talking peed in terror last time I had to chase her down and get her into a carrier, which took ten minutes and cornering her in a closet— was the easiest of our three cats when we took them to the vet recently. She seemed comfortable and wasn’t terrified or crying while she was in it. I had no issues getting her back inside after she got her shots. I couldn’t believe it!! Apparently it’s built specifically to eliminate everything about traditional carriers that cats get so freaked out about. Her being able to see out all sides made the biggest difference, and the latch on the door is quiet so it didn’t startle her when I opened and closed it. It also seemed to help a lot that the door opening is so wide and didn’t make her feel like I was shoving her into a tunnel of doom. It’s SO easy to collapse and assemble, it can be done in less than a minute and it’s amazing how compact it is when it’s collapsed. I love that it latches shut when collapsed so it doesn’t unfold when you store it. It’s also much sturdier than I thought it would be, especially with how lightweight it is. The handle is comfortable to hold and I had no difficulty carrying it with my cat inside. It’s hard to believe the quality is so high for the price! I’ll absolutely be ordering more to replace the soft sided carriers we used for the other cats, and I will be recommending this to EVERYONE I know with cats. I can’t say enough good things about it and overall it was an incredible buy!!

Never Gonna Give You Up!
Very. Large. I can’t stress that enough ESPECIALLY if this carrier is to move across the country like it was for my Person and I. This temporary home was anxiously purchased for that 1500mile and three-day trek from the East Coast to the middle of the country for Murray, our 17.5lb American shorthair mix. He’s a CHONK. Solid cat through and through he’s knocked things off counters and pictures with faint constitutions from the walls.When the carrier arrived, despite understanding its collapsible nature, I did have a moment of “ah crap did I miscalculate?” No. No I did not. When opened and locked in position, it takes up roughly the body space of a 17gal packing tote and nearly the full height of my “person space” when the back seats of my Prius were folded flat for him to sit on. If I didnt already have an obstructed view, I would NOT assume his carrier would block my rear-view.I was able to pick up The Monster and set him in….a he stared at me. Murray is large and his past methods of travel were always cramped, too short in carrier length, or quite frankly his massive strength began shredding “comfy mesh carriers” within the first 8hr leg. My nervous couldn’t take that crap – so when he just SAT there in his carrier, wide open, with no fuss or yeowling or distress, we had a moment of pure staring at each other.Then… Uh, Injust uhm..yea like casually closed the door. He can see sitting, standing, lounging, out of all sides. And while his paws CAN fit through the slating, he was only able to “grab” fabric items nearby and/or “clack” at the sides of the carrier since it has more than one layer (due to the locking). It never gave. I don’t even see scratches where he tried – and for the first hour of the first leg, oh lawd he tried.Although a little clumsy of a carry (I’m 5’ nothing), it was VERY easy to get a grip on the carrier and take him with. It was a two-handed carry because he’s huge but also because the carrier allowed for more movement than some of the others – but I won’t sacrifice his comfort.Unlike his other travel experiences, in the hotel he did NOT come flying out of this carrier like it was on fire. He and the other cats in our clowder actually intermittently took turns lounging in it – and sometimes, TOGETHER they fit.Catnip is recommended for any pets traveling (chamomile or whichever kind does NOT make your kitty hyper!!!!) to rub or dump in the basin of the carrier – not much made it out of the tray-like depth anyway! Feliway was an easy application into the grooves of the slats and made for better ventilation in my car. He laid flat like a Roarscarch puddle and slept peacefully through each leg with no fussing or causing the other cats to fuss.Once we arrived, it became like a temporary kennel, a place familiar to house, so we left it open for him and his siblings to retreat to until they stabilized.Overall amazing purchase. I will be buying this method for Murray’s brother, Merray, in the smaller size since he is a sleeker cat and not quite as chonky.Reference measure for Murray: 17lbs, 14.6” from foot to crown of head. His middle is approximately 6” wide across the belly, and about 50/50 body huge and leggy huge, and this carrier accommodates both! AND after the big move he isn’t afraid of the carrier so now it doubles as a home kennel!Ref pic: folded/collapsed against a 40” insignia tv. And then fully expanded next to the same tv. For depth, the interior and vacuum pic – the interior “sitting space” is as wide as the Dirt Devil Powermax Rewind’s brush head so if you have this or similar, it’s this wide PLUS my size 6.5 foot for scale. (I didn’t have any bananas for scale, I’m so sorry Reddit!) Another reference is my smallest cats’ carrier INSIDE Murray’s’ and the only reason it won’t latch is simply because Murr’s is triangle and the XXS carrier is squared.The small traditional carrier INSIDE this one measures: 19.3L x 12.6W x 13.1D in inches.Last grateful notation: the SOUND of this carrier and the material it’s made of reduced stim stress among the entire clowder. If I can ever help it, I will bar the sound of metal grates or crates from my travel plans (less required by flying, etc). Gone was the accidental rattling. No more sudden CLANG CLANG CLACK while trying to load up multiple cats. The carrier made very little if ANY road noise and was tight-packed like a Tetris set for maximizing A/C from my cars center vents. While Inwould never stack things ON him, I was confident that if my art pictures resting atop the tvs in the veerrry back of the car were to shift for some reason, Murr would be protected by this carrier and without the terrible sound FX! It was easy to feed him his dry snacks and patience treats ( and another chamomile dose during some really loud engine breaking!) without having to open or breach the carriers’ lock sets. He could see me and chat me up for security without looking like a furred prisoner and I am very secure in observing how behaviorally chilled out my big lover boy has become about large travel trips.Very hotel friendly and, if the door and front are secured, left open (such as in the vacuum pic), you can insert ANOTHER tray and use it for a litter stop like we did within the hotel to keep mess down and repack speed for the mornings quicker.TIP: do not ever, EVER pour litter directly into ANY carrier meant for rest. Cats do not sleep where they defecate unless stressed or forced to, and they DEFINITELY do not eat near where defecation occurs. PLEASE use a high-sided pan (cheap from Walmart!) to fit inside and protect your kitties’ dignity and sensory needs for the long haul if you plan to be utilitarian!!!Kitty Pics:Murray has the Monroe Mole and a totally white muzzle.Merray, in the second picture, has no forehead blaze and the nip stuck on his nose like a true hemphead. (It’s chamomile, do not smoke weed around your cats, it WILL screw with their respiration system.)* they did not travel crated together, this photo is “familiarizing” them with the smell and presence of it as well as my Person and I communicating the intention to travel.A+ carrier. Did not break the bank. Collapses into a slightly thicker/bigger laptop case, and my cats aren’t traumatized by the experience. I will be a loyalist now to this carrier and its brand.Thank you.

This is a great carrier and bigger than I imagined, even though I had measured it out. I easily transported my two new Burmese cats from the breeder and there was no struggling to access the cats or put them in. It was easy to carry. I had put some anti slip fabric below the cushion provided ( note to manufacture to add non slip fabric to the cushion base). They could move and stand if they wanted ( although they were understandably freaked out) and I left the door open once I arrived home and let them exit in their own good time. They even stayed in it overnight that first night in a strange place. . It folds down like a dream and is in the airing cupboard for easy access. Well worth the money.

Best cat carrier ever. Can’t buy it here in Australia … my veterinarian thought it was great and I got this one for a friend after mine proved such a success. Having the side that opens makes it so much easier to pop a cat in. They are in before they know it! The others I’ve used make it so difficult trying to ram a resistant kitty into a much smaller entry.

I hate normal carriers! My cats like to travel together and I found the normal ones difficult to store, difficult to get the cats into, too small for the two of them unless I got some obscene large dog size that was too tall etc.This carrier is awesome! Can’t attest to its holding up over time as haven’t had it long but it seems sturdy enough. The front door is a really cool feature – so big and no more having to squeeze the cats through a scary tunnel. So open with many air holes that I feel like the cats are less claustrophobic. Nice wipeable material (my one cat pees in carriers constantly!!). Both of my cats 12ish lbs each can fit side by side no problem. The best part is that it folds easily for easy storage!Especially given its price compared to far inferior carriers I am very happy with this carrier! I never want to go back to the old style again,
