Loved by our furry traveler!
Perfect for traveling pets! Our cat has had this crate since he was a kitten, and he still can stand up, stretch, and move around inside it. A blanket also fits nicely inside to make it extra comfy for long rides. Very sturdy but light and convenient getting in and out of the car. If you have a bigger cat or one that doesnât like to be in a crate, you may need a fabric alternative, but if itâs the right style for your cat, itâs the best!

Perfect for Small Puppies & a Great Price!
We just added a new Fir Baby and I needed something to keep her safe and happy at bed time. She is a very small baby. This inexpensive carrier was perfect in many ways. I didn’t realize I was purchasing a two door carrier but it has a top opening in addition to the usual front door. It was easy to put together. Today, I took her to the groomer. The carrier fit in the front seat facing forward with the seat belt going through the handle on top. It shut tight and held it safely in the seat. I can lift her out of the top easily. It is well made even though it is plastic. The front door is metal. The top door is held down with metal dowels and springs. It will last a long time. It’s an excellent buy!

Perfect Carrier for Kittens and Cats: Safe and Slip-Free!
Rating: â â â â â
The Amazon Basics 2-Door Top-Load Hard-Sided Pet Travel Carrier in Gray & Blue is ideal for cats of all sizes, from kittens to adults. While my cat isnât a fan of being put in through the top, he settles in nicely once I place a cushion inside and guide him in with treats.
Pros:
Ventilation: The carrier is well-ventilated all around, keeping my cat comfortable.
Escape-Free Latch: The latch design ensures that my cat canât escape, providing added security.
Slip-Free: The carrier stays in place during car rides, which is fantastic since my cat loves is a little anxious during car rides. The non-slip feature really helps make his trips more comfortable and stress-free.
Cons:
Top-Load Feature: My cat doesnât like the top-loading design
Personal Experience:
The Amazon Basics carrier has been a game-changer for traveling with my cat. The slip-free design, combined with his love for country music during car rides, makes his transportation much easier and more enjoyable. The ventilation keeps him comfortable, and while heâs not thrilled about the top entry, the addition of a cushion and treats makes it manageable.
Conclusion:
Overall, I highly recommend the Amazon Basics Pet Travel Carrier. Its secure, slip-free design, along with its practicality, ensures a smoother and more pleasant journey for your cat.

Great carrier
I needed a large carrier without spending an arm and a leg. This carrier was right in my price range for what I needed. I have some large cats. I have a 15lb, 17lb and 23lb cats. I needed a carrier that was comfortable for them. This carrier fit all their weights. It was big enough for them to stand up, turn around and lay down comfortably. The carrier itself is pretty sturdy. I will most likely be carrying from the bottom due to some of my cats being pretty large. But if you have large cats this carrier should fit them comfortably.

Very nice crate.
This crate had all parts included at arrival. I purchased this two-toned gray crate as a new product and received it as such. I would have immediately returned if it had been used or damaged. I assembled without any problems. The crate made with medium heavy plastic on 1/2 sides down, back and bottom with 4â inserted wire windows into plastic sections which secured the safety of the crate even more. I observed no exposed wire ends around the three inserted wire windows. The front gate seemed heavy duty and sturdy and was installed without problems. I placed the crate back on the floor and easily installed all four corner wires into designated holes at the same time for a safe/secure fit. I appreciated these holes were built up above the level of the top for added security fit.
My dog weighs approx 10-11lbs. She is a small mixed dachshund/chihuahua. I would not recommend a larger dog or cat because I observed a strain on the top of gate when I carried her inside. The top of the crate would stretch and cause the gate wires to come out of their designated holes. The door could not be opened until I lifted the crate with her inside again and easily returned the gate wires to their designated holes. I would not recommend forcing the gate for fear of breaking the plastic holes or bending the gate door. I appreciate the door can be opened on either the left or right side. I appreciate the dual plastic locking devicesâ¦arthritic fingers. I would not recommend carrying a pet inside this crate for a long length of time. I suggest making the end door wires a bit longer so a bolt can be screwed to each wire end for added stability when the plastic crate pulls away from the gate wires.
I bought this crate for safety while on short trips, shopping, distress alleviating exercises and while I vacuum and mop. She is terrified of all common home noises and mortified of being outside either with me or fear of being left outside alone.
My little dog was one of a dozen small dogs living their entire lives in a small wire cage OUTSIDE in a horrible hoarding situation. Her dew claws are permanently damaged due to being caught in the floor wires and broken away from her foot bone.
After a week of seeing this crate, short entries (all while holding the carrier) she now enters it on her on and rests peacefully. The bottom is sturdy and safe and all wire window inserts pose no threat to her safety and allows her to see me from all sides of the crate as I move around her.
I did not need instructions to assemble this crate. 15 mins total. I am 67 years old.

Great value!
This is a decent sized carrier that loads from the top or the side. It is very sturdy and well built and shuts very securely. This is less than half the price for the same sized carrier at our nearest store that is a well known chain. I am very happy with this carrier!

Es enorme, caben muy bien incluso dos gatos medianos! resistente y práctica! por el precio fue una ganga

It works well for transporting a medium-sized cat by car: American shorthairs, most Siamese, female Bengals, and so on. I expect it would be too small for a Maine Coon and many male Bengals.
The front-door grate is nice and smooth, made of a covered heavy wire. The spacing between the bars/wires is roughly an inch.
Be sure to check that all the side clips are sitting correctly, before picking it up with a cat in it. In almost all carriers of this kind, it’s easy to miss one that isn’t closed properly.
It’s well-ventilated and easy to clean. It doesn’t have any built-in padding. For cat-comfort, add a blanket or a soft bath-mat.

A little hesitant at first but I honestly really am happy with this purchase. I have 2 kittens 4 months old so I bought 2 and it fits them well, they cannot stand, they go in and come out comfortably. the only thing is I know when they are older I will need a bigger size. And i only wish it was a little more taller other than that itâs sturdy and comes with 6 screws and bolts and is well made and easy when to put together

Die Transportbox ist eine ausgezeichnete Wahl für die sichere und komfortable Beförderung von Ratten. Sie bietet ausreichend Platz, sodass die Tiere sich auch während längerer Aufenthalte bequem darin aufhalten können. Besonders hervorzuheben ist, dass Ratten bekannt dafür sind, viel zu knabbern, doch diese Box bleibt auch bei intensiver Nutzung stabil. Das robuste Metallgitter an der Tür sorgt dafür, dass sie der ständigen Aktivität der Tiere problemlos standhält und nicht beschädigt wird.
Die Box ist zudem einfach zu reinigen, was für den täglichen Gebrauch von groÃer Bedeutung ist. Besonders praktisch ist die obere Ãffnung, die es dem Tierarzt ermöglicht, einen schnellen und unkomplizierten Blick auf das Tier zu werfen, ohne die Box öffnen zu müssen. Dies reduziert den Stress für das Tier und erleichtert die Untersuchung.
Nach gründlicher Recherche und dem Test verschiedener Modelle bin ich von dieser Transportbox absolut überzeugt. Als Fachkraft im Tierschutz lege ich groÃen Wert auf hohe Qualität und Funktionalität, und dieses Produkt erfüllt beide Kriterien perfekt. Die Kombination aus ausgezeichneter Verarbeitung, Langlebigkeit und einem hervorragenden Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis hat mich dazu veranlasst, mehrere Exemplare dieses Modells zu bestellen. Für Tierschützer und Tierhalter, die eine zuverlässige, praktische und langlebige Transportbox suchen, ist dieses Produkt uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen.
