## Features

- Warning:Not suitable for children under 36 months
- TOP OPENING FOR STRESS-FREE LOADING AND VET VISITS: This top opening cat carrier makes it easy to gently lower your cat into the basket, avoiding the struggle and stress of front-loading options. Ideal for vet visits, travel, grooming or post-surgery care, the open-top design helps reduce anxiety for cats who dislike confined spaces, especially nervous cats, kittens or elderly felines needing calm and comfort during transport.
- BREATHABLE MESH DESIGN FOR CALMER TRAVEL: Mesh sides on all four panels allow full visibility and airflow, helping your cat feel safe and comfortable while travelling. The see-through construction supports natural ventilation and reduces travel-related anxiety. This cat travel crate is perfect for long car journeys or quick trips to the vet, where breathability and a view of surroundings help keep your pet calm.
- DURABLE AND LIGHTWEIGHT FOR EVERYDAY USE: Made from strong, pet-safe PVC-coated 2.5cm square mesh, this cat crate is sturdy yet lightweight, offering long-term durability without the bulk. Whether stored in your car boot or taken to the vet, it’s a reliable, easy-carry solution for regular travel and a secure alternative to plastic boxes or fabric carriers.
- EASY-CLEAN DEEP TRAY BASE TO PREVENT SPILLS: The integrated base tray helps contain litter, food, or any mess from travel accidents. Designed with practicality in mind, it’s easy to wipe down or disinfect between uses. This makes it one of the most hygienic and low-maintenance cat baskets for pet owners needing a reusable, functional solution for clean travel.
- CARRY HANDLE FOR SECURE, COMFORTABLE TRANSPORT: A moulded plastic handle provides a solid grip and balanced hold, allowing you to carry your cat securely without stress or strain. Whether on foot or in and out of a car, this pet carrier is easy to lift and navigate through vet clinics, grooming salons or catteries.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will the handle take a seat belt to secure carrier in car?**
A: Yes I would definately say the seat belt will fit through the carrier handle.  The carrier is great...very secure.

**Q: Will this take a 7 kg cat? - he is about 40 cm long not including tail and his chest is about 15cm wide- he is an ex- tom!**
A: Our cat is 7,5kg and a big longer than yours and he fits in fine.

**Q: Is it strong enough for a 7kg cat ?**
A: I would like to think so. My two cats are pretty hefty but I always carry the case with 2 arms to keep them sturdy, wouldn't want the handle or lid to fail and have them run off. Try the manufacturer perhaps?

**Q: Is this cage collapsible?**
A: No, it isn't.  It's a very strong cage but just for carrying.  I have a separate larger cage that is collapsible.  Be warned the security bar on the carry cage falls out easily if you don't close it with the hook firmly.
