Cat Soft-Sided Carriers

My little kitty weighs about 7 pounds, so she's "small" for an adult cat. She fits really well in this, and it fits under the seat on the airplane. I also really like the strap because I can put her over my shoulder like a duffle bag when I am rolling two suitcases, which is a feature that none of her hard carriers had. She also seems to like it much better than her hard carrier because of the soft covering, which makes it easier for her to feel like she's being held and the short zipper lets me slip in my hand to pet or hand her a treat a lot easier than other carriers. I wish the one pocket was big enough to actually place things in it. It can only hold a small can of food or a small ziplock bag of treats. Also, the other "pocket" isn't actually a pocket, it's just the illusion of one. Other than better or deeper pockets, it's a great carrier!

I got this carrier for my cat, who my mom is taking care of for me while I’m stationed across the country, and when she took him to the vet to get his booster and rabies shots done, he went right in (I had fed him in the carrier when I was home for Christmas so he’d be more comfortable going in, really pays off!) and she said he was a little snug (I didn’t realize he’s gotten so tubby with Grandma watching him (10.4 lbs!! He was 6lbs when I got him! Lol)) but be fit and was meowing at her all the way there. But she said the carrier was a great idea and way easier to travel with than that cheap old hard shelled one I got for free from a neighbor. I’m very happy with the purchase.

It works, I’ve used it a few times and it’s held up perfectly fine. My only issues with this are:1. It doesn’t hold shape at all. If I use the shoulder strap, the sides fold in on my cat and she doesn’t have any room, so that feature is completely useless.2. It can really only be strapped down to a car by lacing the seatbelt through the handle. It’s kind of an awkward fit but it’s not a big deal, just thought I should mention it cause I didn’t consider that when I bought this.Basically what I’m saying is, you get what you pay for. There’s better carriers out there, but they’ll cost you more. If you just want a cheap carrier that works, then I’d recommend this one. It works perfectly fine for short rides like for regular vet visits and such.I bought the small size, my cat is eight pounds and fits okay, but I don’t think a pet any bigger than her would be able to fit.

I bought this to transport my savannah monitor. The bag is lightweight and seems pretty sturdy and well-sewn. I like all the mesh to allow airflow and the limited zipper areas. He seems to like it. I used a blanket to wrap him so he feels like he is safe in a burrow (he likes sleeping in blankets anyway.) If I cover his head and close it, he goes to sleep and doesn't seem bothered by anything.The bag did smell pretty bad on arrival, but I left it hanging in a corner of the room for a while before I used it and now it doesn't smell anymore.

I moved from Austin to North Carolina back in July and my 13lb cat fit in this perfectly. Of course, he didn't like it, but it was much easier to put him in this than a hard-boxed one. This creates more flexibility. I will say that it can be a little too flexible and does create more opportunities to have the carrier fall over, however, for the price you can't beat it. I also really love the straps and handles so it makes it easier to carry. My cat was even able to fit in the carrier with a cone of shame on him (he had surgery just recently) and had no issues.

I purchased this for my itty bitty, teeny tiny cat. She probably weighs all of 5lbs after she's gained a bit of weight. The product is just fine for her and also for me. It's lightweight which has its pros and cons. The size accommodates kitty very nicely, and soft material is a welcome respite from her hard plastic carrier. However, this product is so lightweight, the thing pretty much folds back into its stowing position with kitty in it. And it does not stay put in the car lmao. Overall I am happy to have it for extremely short trips to the vet or groomer by car. I would *never* dream of traveling for real with this thing, it just seems too flimsy for that.

Traveled from Florida to Colorado and my cat is roughly 8lbs. My cat fit just fine there is a zipper that opens half way and on the other side there is a zipper that opens all the way. While picking up the bag I did notice my cat would sink in the middle of whatever side he was mostly on. The bottom isn’t too solid but it was good for the trip. I would recommend putting a towel or something on the bottom to make your cat more comfortable!

This carrier absolutely sucks. My cat weighs 7 pounds and this thing can’t even support her. The wire armature came out of the sides and the whole carrier collapses onto itself no matter how it’s stored or what position it’s in. The material is cheap. The bottom is so flimsy I had to reinforce it with a folder once in a pinch because the crappy cardboard insert folded in half and my cat was dangling down into the unsupported tarp-y bottom as if she were sitting in a grocery bag. Save your money- you’ll just have to buy a better one anyways.
