Thread: cat carrier recommendations?

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.

Both daughter & I have the same canvas carrier as Peter,both her MC's one of which is the big black Ozzy boy travel down very comfortably in it from the Welsh borders,I have had both Shimba & Welly together in ours but Shimba seems to feel safer in the wire carrier where he has the firmer sides & less room,weid things these cats....
Would luv to see Peter opening up his carrier & that troop marching out,what a sight that must be,I would think he will get them all in there for a good while yet but just thinking about the eventual weight they will add up to makes your eyes water,do they make shirts with one arm longer than the other to allow for the extra stretch that will take place...?

I have a Ferplast Atlas 30 for Jones:

It's got a little cushion so there's something soft to lie on, comes with a water/food bowl that clips onto the door and the door can be opened from either side or completely removed. The whole top half can also be removed if you want to turn it into something vaguely approaching a cat bed and to make cleaning it easy.

Should be big enough from him when he's fully grown as well.

I give it 4 hairy paws out of 5.

Think it cost me ~£35 or thereabouts.

For now they all fit in. When the three first came home and their first vets trip it was like they were living in a cave. Now, double the weight and size, it might be harder but still plenty of room. Once they are grown, two will fit ok, but three ? but for short trips to the vet (for the chop... sssh!) it should be ok.
