IRIS USA 23" Cat Carrier, Small Pet Carrier Hard, Dog Kennel with 2-Door Front and Top Access, Dog Carrier, up to 18 pounds, Black/Gray

I purchased the Small size in black/grey. We just adopted a 7 pound cat and needed a way to securely transport her home and to/from the vet. I looked at a lot of other carriers and landed on this one due to the features and the price. I am very pleased with this carrier. The top door/opening is a much easier way to put the cat in than using the door on the front. I love that the top door can open from either side and can be easily removed completely. It is also nice that the front door can be installed on either side so it can open from whichever side you want. The size fit my cat very well. Not too big and not too small. Plenty of room for a small blanket and the cat. There is enough room for her to stand up and move around a little as well as to lay down and curl up on the blanket. That latches that hold the top and bottom together seem to be able to become unlatched rather easily. I haven't had that problem yet, but could see where it would happen. To safeguard from this, I used a couple of zip ties to ensure that the carrier could not come apart accidentally. There were a couple of holes already there where the carrier top/bottom meet that made this very easy to do. The ladies at the vet office loved the carrier (especially the removable top door/opening) and asked where I got it. This says a lot since I am sure that they see a lot of different carriers every single day. I couldn't be happier with this purchase.

Good quality and size for or slightly larger tuxedo boy. Easy to put together and the price was fair

Do not buy this carrier! The top door latch does not work and top door falls into the carrier. Side black latch that holds the carrier together does not work and opens then carrying the pet that could cause injury to the animal or allowing the animal to be released. The vendor requires you to package the return of the defective carrier to return it.

I love that you have 3 options to load your pet. The top coming completely off was a wonderful feature with an injured animal. However, the latches for the top gate are rather flimsy. The only reason this didn't get a 5 star rating.

Very robust and well made carrier. It feels sturdy and secure, with solid doors and good ventilation. For a medium cat, it works, but it could definitely be larger—my cat fits, but there isn’t much extra room to move around comfortably. The front and top access doors are super convenient, especially for getting a cat in and out without stress. Overall, a strong, durable carrier, just be aware that if your cat is on the bigger side, sizing up would be better.

I love this crate. It’s perfect for the vet since there are so many ways to open it. The top hatch makes getting a shy kitty out much easier than reaching all the way in through the main opening. My youngest cat also loves this crate, I’ve removed the door and put in a small bed, so he uses it as his little bedtime house.

Bought this in size small (up to 18 pounds) for my extra large cat. Assembly was a breeze, but when I tried to use the top door to load my cat I learned that you have to hold the door open or it will just close. That’s really hard to do when you’re trying to put a cat in there! Would be better if the design had included something to keep that door open while you’re trying to put your pet in. I also had issues with a rattling front door. It rattled so much! And was annoying while I was trying to use this to drive my cat to the vet. Had to actually HOLD the doo shut to make it quiet. Finally, while the description says it will hold a pet up to 18 pounds, it really sagged quite a bit when carrying my 12 pound cat. I was worried that it was going to come apart! Returning and will be buying one of better quality. You get what you pay for!

Easy to put together and my cats love it. It has a lot of room for my cats to move around.

Although we purchased this for veterinarian visits (the top opening is so good for our cat). Our cat uses it for lounging and chooses this sleeping space every evening, only liking her blankets in the heat register more. This was a great buy.

The crate is nice and the right size for my cat. The only problem is that two scres are missing - one on each side. They are the screws that secure the top to the bottom.

The first time we received this product, a clip was missing and the top is broken. We got a replacement today, the funny thing is 3 clips are missing this time and a zip tie is already cut, it means that’s someone’s return.

Pas satisfaite, il manque une attache.

Juste faire attention parce que moi il me manquait une clip
