This was sooo helpful with our 19 year old cat that hated getting into a crate. It's very well made, and worked like a charm. The opening is a nice size, the tray pulls out nice and long. Place cat onto the tray and slide it back in. Done. No scratches, biting... No drama. As far as the appearance, it's nice too, easy to assemble and fell my cat was safe to travel in it as well. I pulled the seatbelt through the handle while driving to keep Mr. B safe. We adopted another cat and the shelter wanted to know where I got it from.

Was not super easy to put together despite looking like it would be.The plastic is very flimsy. I would not and will not be trusting this to hold my18lb cat despite its 20lb rating.The vet dropped the carrier today becasue the handle came off (And that was with my 19 year old 5lb cat in it that is on hospice care!!!) The handle is perhaps the worst piece of crap ever made. Barely fits in the space its supposed to (handle is a bit to small to fit properly)The concept of the pull out part is great! But the manufacturing is very bad.All in all, I would never buy this again. It is dangerous due to the handle itself.Save you money and get something sturdier.

This is a great design and very fabulous idea! HOWEVER, it is quite small. Literally half the size I expected. It will work great for kitten(s) or a cat under 10 pounds, which our rescue has. But forget it for your larger cats. We have several 16 to 20 pound cats and no way will they fit a couple HATE carriers and it takes at least 2 people to get them in one and they have to go in backwards and swiftly.. I gave it 5 stars for design and that there is nothing wrong with it. Cats jump in willingly because it looks like a fun box. Would gladly buy several if it also came in a larger or XL size. Just don't be mislead into think your big cat who hates carriers will ever fit. Hope they start making a larger size choices. It's a design that could revolutionize getting a cat willingly into a carrier. We also ordered those cat carrier bags (different manufacturer being advertised everywhere as an alternative for difficult cats . What a huge disappointment! They are harshly stiff and definitely not going to work. Imagine stuffing a cat into a rather small fully zippered hole. and then zippering it without catching their fur. Even our willing and adventurous cats are not willing. Not a chance. This drawer idea is a winner. Please just make it bigger!

I was able to get my cats in with treats which is nice not having to force them in a small hole or door. My cat who can break out of carriers couldn't break out of this one. The only thing is the handle is not strong. I don't recommend carrying by the handle.

This carrier is great for some of my crankier kitties when we go to the vet! It makes it so much easier to get them out, but still allows them a safe space to 'hide' during the exam. It fits perfectly behind my passenger seat as well which is SO nice. My only concern is it is a bit difficult to open and close when you ge to the clasp but its postivites outweigh that by 100%. Love this carrier and will definitely be buying again.

In theory this seems like a great idea.As mentioned in other reviews, my handle came off with only the weight of the carrier. Absolutely nothing was in or on the carrier.In addition to that, sometimes when you slide it out, it does not slide back in.In addition to that, sometimes when you slide it out, the blue part completely falls off the little track and the entire thing falls apart.Read the reviews, make sure you put the door on correctly (mentioned in another review) be prepared to modify or not use the handle on top and do not plan to use with an uncooperative animal and I think you'll be good

The trauma of fighting to get my cat into a standard carrier and listening to her panicked cries all the way to the vet had me postponing vet visits. Getting the cat in this carrier was so simple; she barely noticed anything was happening. Since we started out much more calmly, the car ride was calmer too. It was even easier to get her loaded up the following week for a follow up treatment. The vet and vet assistants commented that they love this style of carrier as it is easier to load and unload the pets.

This crate is not worth any amount of money. While the idea behind it is great, it is extremely cheaply made and in my opinion, only good for an extremely small and lightweight cat (not even close to the 20lb listed as the max weight). The plastic is soft and flexible and the handle comes off right away and can’t be used. I was transporting my cat in my car on a 500 mile trip, and stopped along the freeway to buy a more secure, safe crate for the duration of the trip.

This carrier is so much easier to use than a traditional kind! We lure our cat inside, then quickly slide the carrier shut.The door is a bit finnicky and falls off easily when pulling open or shut. But if everything is in place, once closed, it's very secure.Our cat even likes to sleep in this carrier! ðŸ±

This has been great for one 6.5KG cat that has regular vet visits. It is much easier to get him in and out, the vets loved the ease of use too. Two of my other cats are happy to put themselves in this carrier and like being slid in and out.

Easy to get cat in and out with the sliding feature. Easy assembly. Have to push the door to get it to lock

Great design idea. Cats are happy and calmed in it.A little fiddly to install. Where gate clipped in could be better. Not sure of the strength of the product. It is light weight. Solved the problem of going to the Vet on a regular basis.

The sliding carrier is great reducing stress for the pets, however, the metal door doesn’t stay attached at all so I had to struggle putting it back together while trying to keep the cat calm and not escaping. If there was a way to attach the door to one part so it would just need to be locked and not assembled each time, it would have received 5 stars. Really flimsy trying to attach the door to the small holes and wrangle a wild animal at the same time.
