Highlighted Reviews
"She had plenty of room to relax for our 12hr moving adventure. I think she liked the screens because she could see out and it wasn't like being shoved in a dark box. She was content to just lay there and watch out the window. After the move we left it in a corner and she still goes to lay in there. ..."
"My cat traveled to Michigan in it very nicely, but on the way home she decided she wanted out and was able to chew right through the mesh and escape. Stronger mesh is needed to keep a cat safely in the carrier."
Bottom Line
This carrier is a decent option for occasional travel but may not hold up well over time; consider a more sturdy version for frequent use.
