Highlighted Reviews
"My Mi-Ki is only 3 lbs. She slides around in most other 'small' carriers, so I'd been looking for one that is cozier for her. This one was just the right size. The two mesh windows on the side really help keep her calm because she has better all around sight."
"too small forkittens or puppies. Might hold a rat. came in box that was 3/4 empty no packing or packing list."
