Airline Approved Pet Carrier Backpack for Cats & Dogs, Expandable Collapsible Cat Carrier with Breathable Mesh & Safety Leash, Portable Dog Travel Carrier for Hiking/Car/Train Blue

Update, including raising the carrier to a 5-star review, after having taken my very large kitty--long, wide and tall--(Siberian) to the veterinarian.It was a BREEZE placing him IN the carrier (from the top) and zipping it up; it was extremely COMFORTING knowing that kitty wasn't banging or bruising himself to resist getting in! He fit NICELY. I also ran the car seatbelt through the top handles on the carrier.Another fantastic feature: Fortunately, I did decide to cover the soft cushion with a doggie pad, just in case my cat had an accident: My little darling got carsick enroute to the vet (my friend foolishly chose the serpentine route). The vet's office (awesomely and for free) cleaned him all up, minibath, etc., and they easily cleaned out the areas of the carrier that kitty splashed. There was NO wailing, as he always did in the hard plastic carrier, until dumba_ _ took that twisting route and made him sick.The carrier is super light weight, which is a blessing when your cat weighs in at 18 pounds MINIMUM! Very easy to carry it, and rather PLEASANTLY noteworthy is that no bruises were caused by the carrier to the cat's servants while carting him in it.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I have a very large kitty (Siberian). Lugging him in the monstrously large and bulky, hard plastic and metal-gated carrier that I have for years is equally troublesome to me and my cat. Oh, and getting that willful little darling IN it is a nightmare, for both of us. Hence, my desire to find a solution.After having read myriad reviews of multiple pet carriers on Amazon, this product seemed superior to them, particularly for those wanting to accommodate a larger cat (say, e.g., Maine Coon or American Siberian).--I very much like that I can drop my fluffy little (er, huge!) baby into the carrier from the top;.--I like the interior safety leash;--I like (but don't need) the adorable little feeding basket (Look inside the id card pocket to find it!);--I like the id card pocket;--I like the shoulder strap and its sturdy clips;--I like that my baby won't bang himself up struggling against being put into his carrier as he is wont to do with the hard plastic one--even if he still struggles now, he won't get hurt on the carrier materials.--I like the ample ventilation he will receive with this new carrier;--I like the aesthetics of the carrier;--I like the soft mat and that it's washable.Two things that do concern me and only time will tell:--How sturdy the base will turn out to be: I might follow another reviewer's idea, which is to slide a second plywood piece in with the included board.--Will the mesh dry out/crack over time?Thus far and over all, I am pleased.

This is a very efficient pet carrier, good quality, lightweight, sturdy frame, smooth zippers, comfy padded removable base (bed). Easy to assemble! Good value!

These are perfect, easy set up, very secure, and super cute and vibrant color. Easy to carry around and our 7.5 lb cats fit great in them. Must be comfortable as we had to put them away because our cats wanted to sleep in them all the time!

We purchased this to transport our cat in cabin on the plane. It comes in an acceptable size for the airline and the cat fit in it. Our only complaint was the piece on the bottom that should reinforce and lend support to the animal, is not as sturdy as expected. The quality of the carrier is good and everything stayed together as expected.

Absolutely love this carrier. My cat fits in this carrier so we'll. The material is very soft. Easy to fold and put away. It's look so cute in person love the color. Easy to open and use. Very sturdy.

I wanted something easier to get the kitties in and out of for the vet. With our hard plastic carriers it is difficult to get them to go in through the single door. Once at the vet, they hold on for dear life and it's tricky getting them out. I saw this and decided to give it a try. The first suspect was one of my foster kitty moms and her 3 babies. It was so easy to get them in with the big opening on top. It was also easy to get them out. I was amazed there was enough room for all of them to fit comfortably and had room left. The mom is less than 7 pounds, so that may have helped some. She was able to lay down with her babies or stand up and beg to be let out. I was able to transport her and kittens to the vet safely and comfortably. The strap makes it more comfortable for over the arm carry. There is also 2 straps to carry by hand if you don't want to carry over your shoulder. I can't wait to see how well this does on some of our more difficult kitties. My daughter told me when I bought it that it wouldn't be any good. Then, she put it over her shoulder with babies and momma inside and was amazed. She said it's better quality than she thought it would be. She said it holds up better and doesn't collapse and sag like she thought it would. I would buy more of these if I need anymore carriers.

This carrier works well for our new kitten. I feel he is safe and comfortable in it. The size is small. I don't think he will fit as a adult cat. I like how he fits now. I think it's safer being a smaller bag. It's was worth the price. I would recommend this product for a small animal or cat. I would definitely recommend this product, and buy it again.

Got this for our kitties. So cute and adorable. Durable and fit our kitties perfectly. Zippers all work well. Sturdy for our 10 pounds cat also. Easy to carry. Straps are strong. Great price also.
