Prodigen Cat Carrier Dog Carriers for Small Dogs Soft Slided Airline Approved Collapsible Pet Travel Carrier, Small (16.3" L x 11.8" H x 12.4" W)

This is a perfect carrier for our boys. They both had to go to the vet today for an annual check up and these carriers worked perfectly for all involved - our cats, us and the vet staff! This carrier was so worth it! I plan on purchasing a few more for the rescues we have in and out of our home since they are extremely easy to store since they fold up so nicely and are so easy to put back together. Highly recommend!

Durability depends on your cat’s temperament. For calm, well-behaved cats, it’s a cozy and convenient travel option. However, if your cat is a determined chewer or scratcher, this carrier might not hold up to serious claw-and-teeth attacks. I have a cat who would destroy this thing. Luckily I have another cat who is quite chill in it.Design & ComfortSoft-Sided & Collapsible – Easy to store when not in use. You can squish it down. It holds shape well too.Cozy & Ventilated – Features mesh panels for breathability and visibility.Padded Bottom – Offers comfort for longer trips.Top & Side Entry – Multiple access points make it easier to get your cat inside.Durability & Security: Good for Chill Cats – Holds up well for cats that don’t claw or chew excessively.Not for Aggressive Chewers/Scratchers – A determined cat can rip through the mesh or chew the seams over time.Soft Structure – Doesn’t provide hard-shell protection for rough travel conditions.

This is probably the best value I've seen for a very good pet carrier that is a really good size! About to move, I needed three of these for my 7 cats. And the trick is to put treats with the pet carriers opened up so they can go in and get comfortable in these carriers. That way it won't be such a pain to wrangle them later and put them in the carrier.

Me gusta.. lo recomiendo.

Works great I like this one for my cat that gets stressed with being outside (bc it’s not as easy to see through)

This cat carrier works great! Very easy to setup or collapse when not in use. I have 2 6 lb cats that both fit in together and a 14 lb cat that still has room to move. Great for the vet trips or travel. Zipper seems durable as well as the mesh type sides.

*I tried to upload photos, but Amazon wouldn't let me...I travel with my cat on planes, trains, and in cars a lot. She is not a nervous traveler.- Mesh is sturdy and though. Very see thru, not ideal if you're trying to hide that fact that you have a cat/dog. i.e. going to the store etc.-Leash inside is perfect length to open the windows and not allow the cat to exit the carrier-Very washable, can put the whole carrier and the floor cover as well in the washer (air dry)-- hot water, gentle cycle has worked well for me- Perfect side for the airlines. When it's under the seat in front of me, I still hav ~8inches width to put my feet next to her carrier.-Top opening, makes it easy to get her in and out. Also, can but my foot in the carrier from the top if she is to settling down on a flight-While traveling, I hang a sweatshirt over the carrier. Since there are windows on all side, plus the top. If I want her to sleep and relax, the sweatshirt helps to make it darker. When we get to the gate, I usually let her look out all 4 windows.Cons:-Side carry strap is not very sturdy. When I carry it on my shoulder, the carrier flips and tilts. Not a good ride for my cat.-Not a lot of pockets/storage space. If you are traveling with an animal on airlines, the carrier counts as your personal item. So I travel with a rolling suitcase (4 wheels) and the carrier on top. It is kind of annoying not having a pocket for my passport, water bottle, charging cables, etc that I would normally have in my backpack under the seat in front of me.- When the main side entrance is fully unzipped, the roof of the carrier sags down. This is only a problem is your cat hangs out in the carrier at home. This is not a problem when traveling as all sides are zipped and secured. My cat doesn't seem to mind, but I do. My solution has been to keep the full zippered side closed and keep the half zippered side open.

First one I ordered (not pictured) was great - loved being able to load from the top, pull out the bed to wash, strap it into the car seat with a seat belt, etc.This second one (see purple pic) I ordered for my mother and her cat. She did not let me know until it was outside the return period that the inner bed does not fit inside the carrier at all. Both the fluffy bed and the board inside it are much bigger in length and width than the footprint of the carry case. There's absolutely no way to make it fit without cutting the base board (and even then, the fabric bed is still oversized).I just received a third (see gray pic) one that I ordered before getting my mom's feedback (because I have multiple cats, not because the first one failed), and the length of the bed fits the carrier, but the width is too wide. It pushes part of the side down, making zipping the case closed difficult when loaded and distorting the whole thing.The original one is amazing, but the miss-sized bed inserts in the second and third carriers I ordered are really obviously miss-sized and problematic.
