Best Crate I've had yet.

On: 2008-06-24

I own 5 cats and am currently fostering 5 kittens. Im always traveling to the Vets office and I have owned many different carriers.

This is the best carrier Ive had so far. The convenience of the top opening is very helpful when dealing with a very sick or reluctant cat. (A brand new carrier is very stiff at first and takes a little more effort to open/close the top.) The vets have complimented on it also. In some cases, its easy for them to examine an animal from the top without struggling to take it out. It is well made and quite frankly, NOT difficult to assemble at all. I am VERY happy with this carrier and plan to purchase another one.

Not bad, now that it is assembled.

The assembly instructions for this are just awful. Its not a difficult assembly, but it was annoying. This feels like it could be a little more sturdy, but it will get the job done. The most difficult part was putting the handle on the top. I didnt push the pins through as far as I should have, and the handle kept slipping out.

If you are planning on using the top entry, be forwarned that it is a bit difficult to close. You have to squeeze the crate a bit. Which is easier said than done if the animal is pushing up on the lid.

I bought this because I have a cat who was rescued from a Cat Collectors home. He lived the first year of his life wedged in a crate with another cat. Obviously hes not a fan of being put back in a crate to go to the vet. This worked well for him, it was easy to put him in through the roof & he seemed pleased that he wasnt quite so closed in.
