AmazonBasics Foldable Octagonal Indoor/Outdoor Portable Soft Pet Dog Playpen with Storage Pockets, Large (45 x 45 x 24 inches), Grey

I love this. I ordered the Portable Travel Playpen by AmazonBasics for multiple litters of kittens, that my girls had, last year. The primary litter was approaching one month old, and the secondary litter was about a week old. Kittens don't do much within the first month after birth. Their eyes open in 7-10 days after birth. They crawl on their bellies for about the first two to two and a half weeks. From three to four weeks of age, their mobility improves but generally they have basic and limited motor skills. It is in the second month of age that they become more agile, and can run, jump, climb, and pounce. (Although if there are older cats in the house, the litter can be more developmentally advanced. I had one litter of kittens that were jumping, climbing, running, and pouncing, at one month of age.) The kittens in the primary litter were fast-approaching that rambunctious stage that cute baby cats are famous for. My cats are indoor-outdoor, and they love being outside. I believe in letting cats explore and enjoy nature, since it is instinct for them to want to be outdoors. I wanted my girls, and their litters, to be able to enjoy the warm weather, and sounds of the season, but I also didn't want to expose them to any danger. Even though the yard is fenced in, kittens can still get very hurt, because they tend to wander. Much like human babies, they want to taste everything, even if it is potentially poisonous. I wanted for the kittens to be able to explore safely, under supervision of course, and not worry about them falling down a drain, or eating out of garbage cans, or crawling under a fence, never to be seen again. A travel playpen is the perfect solution. The AmazonBasics portable playpen is great. Although it is made for small dogs, it works great for kittens. It opens (and closes) very easily. It comes with a nice travel bag. It is very easy to clean. Just wipe with a damp rag, or hose off and let dry. Both the bottom and top flaps unzip. It is made of quality material and isn't flimsy. It is a very good size; and, is a great size for kittens, and small cats. I had as many as nine kittens (between one and two months of age) in the playpen at once. I even let mama cat stay with her litter to nurse periodically. Both of my girls are petite, and at that time weighing about five to six pounds. So, one six pound cat and four or five babies, can fit into it comfortably. The older, much bigger boys, even liked it. I had a kitten sized litter box (XS) in it at times because the kittens were learning to use it. I also had a few toys in it for them. So as not to make it crowded, I would rotate the litters of kittens inside of the playpen. I would put them all in it, and then take one or a few out at a time, and let them explore, while the others stayed inside of the playpen. I covered the bottom with an old towel, but as mentioned, it wipes clean very easily. It is very durable. It is very sturdy. It was able to support the weight of kittens climbing, and jumping, on top of it (see photos) while the others were inside playing. It held up well against kittens biting, scratching, climbing, pouncing, and jumping on it. I have added in a few photos of it in which the older cats are close-by, to provide a better visual of the playpen's overall size. This is an awesome playpen, and I highly recommend it. I am very happy with my purchase, and I would definitely purchase this again.

I have never been so impressed by an Amazon basics items before. Was looking for a pen for my kitten so we can keep him contained after getting fixed, big enough to walk around and fit a litter box, but small enough that it fits in our apartment. Was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this item! It’s super durable, really large, and comes with a carrying case! It’s easy to fold and it fits my kitten, his food, his litter box, and a place to lay down to rest after his surgery. The price is right and it’s something I can use outside if we decide to do a “catio” situation on a nice day and get him some fresh air.

big enough for 6 4-week old kittens, a full sized litter box, a water feeder, 2 sets of feeding dishes, and their container of toys plus a medium sized cushion. And my 22 year old daughter, who climbed in there to sit with them. So far it is sturdy enough to withstand all their climbing and hanging off the thing. No problems with any zippers. We do not leave the kittens in there constantly, only for a short while for feeding and safe play away from Mama cat to giver her a break. The playpen allows them to be safe so they don't get lost or hurt in my big house. lol Mama cat is a stray who took up residence in my yard then later proceeded to have kittens, which my husband discovered in a window well. So we brought them inside and lured Mama cat in to feed them. This playpen is purrfect for them when they are not in the pet room. The only regret I have is that I can't attach an extension to it (that I know of) for the litter box, which would be cleaner. But I still like this and am glad I got it.

Soo this is a nice temporary set up for some cute little surprises we got over the summer 🙃 we don't have very much space for kittens, so I needed something to get here quick and for cheap ( im broke ) this is the cheapest one of these I could find for it's size. It's really nice. The kittens are 3 weeks now and are starting to shit ( lovely ) and the bottom is a plastic, which is easy to clean. It holds it's shape VERY well. I can lean on the sides and it will bounce right back up. It's also super easy to store with the little zip up case it comes in. When it arrived, I opened the box, opened the zip up bag, and it pretty much popped open right away. The packets are alright for small cat toys but they are quite small. MY FAVORITE PART is the top can zip off, which Is nice to see the kittens but when they get bigger and they start climbing more and jumping, we can put it back on at night so they aren't all over the house at night. THE REASON ITS A 4 STARS is the zippers are just ever so slightly janky. It can be a tad bit difficult to zip up the door and top, but it's not the biggest problem. It is one of the cheaper ones so I was expecting some things wrong with it, but for a little more then $40 ( I got free shipping for free 7 day trial) it's was worth it to me.

The playpen was just the right size; roomy but not too big for my cat. The playpen is well constructed, is constructed out of a pretty blue material. My wife and I are very pleased with our purchase.

We have a 5lbs puppy, and this has been wonderful in giving him some safe and comfortable space to play (and not get into trouble). We read reviews and noted the zipper issues - but we’ve had no problems thus far. It's been about two weeks using it every day. He’s had a couple of accidents, and clean up was so easy with the thick, waterproof wipeable bottom. Great value. Easy to put up and take down, and looks nice.

I don’t normally write scathing, flaming reviews, but I do want to let other pet owners know what happened with this enclosure. I’m a new and fairly clueless kitten rescuer. Doing it on my own, and there was about a week before I could get the little fella to the vet. I didn’t want to put a 4 lb active kitten in a tiny crate, so I thought this pen would do for a week. It worked great for a day. The mesh held up well to tiny claws (and is still holding) and it’s nice and roomy. That’s where the positive ends. The zippers that the manufacturer used are beyond cheap. They are not suitable for heavy duty use, nor should they have been used for zipping around corners/curves like the top roof and door openings. They stick, they come pulled open spontaneously (in the middle), and they after two days, the top zipper straight up broke. This pen is for pets. They are unpredictable by nature and tend to dart and run. You need to be able to rely on a zipper to close quickly when a wiggly kitty is trying his best to make his Great Escape. I’ve ordered a nice big metal cage and as soon as that arrives (fingers crossed!) this piece of crap is getting sent back for a refund. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

LOVE THIS PRODUCT! After buying a completely different helping box for our dog, that broke within 3 weeks, this was our second purchase. It was perfect!! Our puppies were able to sleep in this pen for over 6 weeks until they went to their forever homes! We would recommend this product!

We purchased this to help with introducing our new kitten safely into our household. We had an older cat and wanted to make sure they were carefully introduced. This playpen was a PERFECT size for our kitten and allowed for all of his things to be placed inside with him at night. He was very comfortable and it provided a great way to slowly introduce our kitties - who are now the best of friends! Highly recommend. This product is sturdy, easy to assemble and to disassemble for storing, and is of high quality!

Otroligt fin och mycket bra kvalite! Våran hund godkände den direkt!

It’s very good quality, happy with purchase

UPDATE Amazon customer service has been superb! I was going to return the item but was offered a replacement. I still needed the pen for the foster kitten so I accepted it. The new one arrived and the zip is perfect, very smooth so I think the last one was just faulty maybe. Anyway long story short I asked if I could donate the faulty one to the rescue charity and the agent said, without hesitation YES! Waste management and charity support both solved in one go! Thank you Amazon Original review This pet playpen is superb quality, except for the zip unfortunately. It is robust and very well made, the fabric is well stitched and the design is excellent. However, the zip already had just one tooth missing on the zip. It hasn’t technically caused a problem yet, but the zip has come apart once when our tiny rescue kitten bounced into the roof. It will only get worse. This particular zip is tricky to do up, it sticks. You have to use two hands to get it closed and feed the two edges together to do so. Meanwhile a bumptious kitten is trying to escape! I’m going to give it another go and get a replacement. Fingers crossed it was just a faulty model. I really hope so as the zip was the ONLY problem, other than that the product is fantastic!
