10 Reviews: Best Pet Carriers for Cats (Jun 2023)

You can rely on the Texsens Pet Backpack Carrier if you are looking for a practical transporter that is tirelessly carrying by hand. Its ventilated design for optimal airflow and easy checking your pet. You can roll the front flap every time you want to caress your fluffy cat. It has a removable comfy mat for easy cleaning.

My Maine Coon loves to be out with us but started overheating in another (closed) carry bag I had for her. I chose this over the cuter bags available because it was meshed on all three sides and provided lots of ventilation. The ‘doors’ on both sides open up almost fully making it easy for me to put my cat in. The front flap opens and can be neatly rolled away. There is a safety strap inside which I will clip to her harness as an additional precaution. I have carried her (8 pounds) for a 5k walk and it was very comfortable.

Have you ever tried a sling cat carrier? This model makes it easy for you to do chores without leaving your little bundle of joy, especially, if your cat is clingy and loves to cuddle. It comes with two reversible sides, plain color on one side, and beautifully patterned on the other. With its strong and comfortable strings, it holds up to 12 pounds without breaking the shoulder.

I initially bought this for my pomeranian, and yes I do use it for him since he prefers to be carried in crowded/noisy places (aka Pet Stores), however.... just for fun I decided to see if one of my cats would get in it. To my surprise, one of them LOVES it. Whenever my pom and cat see me pick up the sling, they both run to get put in it. I don't actually take my cat anywhere with it (other than out to the mailbox), but he loves hanging out in there while I do stuff around the house. The sling does a good job of supporting their weight without putting a strain on my back. Excellent value for the money!

This one is a great pick to accompany you to take your furry feline to for vet checkups and grooming appointments. Surrounded by a mesh window makes it easy for you to check the condition of the cat inside without having to bother peeking at him. It comes with ten flattering color choices that steal the show. Also, it folds flat for easy storage.

Love the ability to open different parts of the bag. I use this for my cats, and while they are not the world's greatest travelers, I think the ability for them to see out and be in a comfy "Travel Suite" makes our trips much easier. The removable bottom padding is definitely a plus for any necessary cleaning. This item is on the smaller side, and only my smaller cat can fit in here comfortably, so any pet bigger than 10lbs is probably going to be a little cramped.

You can expand this cat carrier from 18″ x 11″ x 11″ to 38″ x 30 “x 11” in size. You can use it as your feline friend grows so it lasts for ages. With a gorgeous design, this soft crate is also equipped with a cozy fleece pet bed that makes your cat snuggle comfortably on it. If it gets dirty, all you have to do is toss it to the washing machine and take it out as brand new.

This pet carrier is amazing, I love that it has compartments that open and bring more comfort to the pet. I travel with my 14 pound cat with this carrier and it was very sturdy. I machine wash it and is still in great shape. One of the best things about this carrier was that although the space for pets was very limited I opened the front during the flight and my cat was very calm because of this. The only thing I would improve is the zippers they get stuck with ease specially when opening to check on my pet.

Your Pet Fit For Life Collapsible Cat Cage purchase comes not only containing a cat carrier, but also a number of accessories including a litter box. Each of them has a matching color, making this package looks adorable. The crate has a large exterior and interior that fit two grown cats so there is no need to buy two different cages.

I used this to transport my two cats during a cross country move. One of my cats likes to sleep it it even in the house. The folding litter box was perfect to travel with as well - I could fold it and slip it in during pit stops, or to have in hotel rooms. My cats were fine for the most part, but would need to be careful with the zipper placement if the cats were particularly clever or active (they could push it open if it isn't in the corner). It folds flat for storage. Overall highly recommend!

AmazonBasics Soft-Sided Pet Travel Carrier is designed to ensure your kitty-cat remains comfortable and safe during long trips. All sides are mainly made of mesh which maximizes ventilation and allows your cat to look around. The materials used are sturdy so they support your pet’s weight without worrying about sagging. Your purchase comes with a machine-washable fleece pet bed.

This carrier is very nice. It has a front opening and a top opening which makes it very handy to get kitty out. inside there is a hook so kitty can be secured inside so that when you open doors he can't just run out until you release him. The bottom is stiff and supports body. There is a washable fleecy material on the bottom that may comfort kitty and help prevent slipping around. The carring straps are very sturdy and wrap completely around the carrier so there is no fear it could tear over time. I gave it 5 stars because it is a good quality carrier and my cat actually likes being in it. My cat weighs 10 lbs. and he fits in very nicely - see photo.

If you want to get a paint carrier with good quality, attractive design, and affordable prices, then this Pet Magasin Luxury Soft-Sided Cat Carrier is the answer. For less than $ 30.00, you can get a transporter with a lightweight and foldable design, making your journey much simpler.

I took my 16.7 lb Maine Coon mix to the vet in this awesome looking carrier today. It was super easy to load him in the carrier and it was quite easy to carry the carrier with the handle and shoulder strap in place. Kitty seemed to be able to turn around in the carrier quite easily despite his husky size. He seemed comfy. I have only used it once, but it seems quite sturdy. I also like that your pet has multiple windows to see out of. All in all, this will suit my needs to transport kitty to the vet when needed.

One of the advantages of hard pet carriers is its robustness. Not that you can carry it roughly, but your kitty will still be comfortable without the base curling under the weight. In addition, this transporter features a two-door; top opening offers convenience and visibility, and a side door for cats to see around it. Plus, it is easy to assemble.

I wasn't expecting much from this carrier, but I was pleasantly surprised. I got two of them to bring my kittens home in, and lined the bottom of each with a soft towel. The top opening is great for placing a cat inside (rather than trying to push or lure them through the front opening), and it feels very sturdy. It was also very easy to assemble - I put two together in maybe 5 minutes. The cats love the carriers, and if I leave them out they'll play or nap in them. I'll eventually have to replace these, as my cats are expected to get pretty big, but for now they're great, and I expect they'll last much longer than I will be able to keep using them.

This luxury tent makes your cat feel like a queen. She is, anyway. With all-around windows and rolling blinds provide lady-cat both maximum sightseeing, optimum ventilation, and privacy. The bottom does not sag so that your cat is still comfortable to carry around.

Finally a heavy duty carrier that comfortably accommodates my 26 pound Maine Coon cat. Unlike other carriers, this one has flaps that can cover the screens if needed. The included bedding inside is a plus, and everything folds up easily for convenient storage. Definitely worth the money.

Sherpa Travel Original Deluxe Airline Approved Pet Carrier is a crowd favorite for a reason. Its large size with plenty of mesh ventilation ensures that your kitty doesn’t have trouble breathing and doesn’t overheat. Its generous size allows it to move freely so it doesn’t feel imprisoned. Coupled with the top load which makes it easy to access your pussycat.

The attached picture says it all: our 17lb cat willingly hanging out in his carrier. We decided to order this one because we needed something with a top load option. We used to struggle with getting this strong little guy inside our old plastic carrier, but were able to get him in the first time with minimal struggle. He's a large cat, but fits in perfectly with plenty of room to shift around and switch position. I'm a 5'3" female and found this much less cumbersome to carry than the awkward plastic carriers, and the shoulder strap is a welcome option.
