Awesome product, we dubbed it the Cabitat. We have an 11-year old, 11-pound indoor/outdoor tabby who has lived in the same house all her life and howls during the 5 minute annual trips to the vet in her carrier. She dislikes people (other than me and my husband), and hates the dog. So needless to say we figured the 2300 mile - each way! - trip from California to North Carolina in the the Subaru Outback with us and the dog was going to be miserable. Not so - she traveled great in this habitat/condo with a few assists. It was roomy and fit the included litterbox and water bowl, plus her food dish, and cat bed. Tons of room. We carried it (with her in it) by the handles into the hotel each night, opened it up inside so she could sleep on the bed with us. It's made great, and once we were back home we followed the online video instructions to collapse it back up and put it in its little pouch. Here are some tips that worked for us for a peaceful trip. She did NOT like the flaps up so she could see which we did initially for the first hour - she liked them DOWN so she was in a little secure cave atmosphere. We loaded the dog behind our seats on his bed, then the luggage, and in the very back of the Outback put the habitat/condo on top of some boxes - so she was separated from the dog and us. It was peaceful back there for her, and we reached in and petted her at every rest stop. That first hour was rough - we used pheromone spray (which was USELESS btw), and had the condo flaps up so she could see out which freaked her out. She howled away and started clawing. We pulled over, put the flaps down, and gave her the mild oral sedative the vet prescribed for us in case she was agitated (understatement). She never needed the sedative again the entire 3 day trip there (and 3 days back). Once she got used to the condo she was fine. The sedative helped her settle in the first day, and it was easy from there. You can also use a little cbd oil on the nose. We absolutely LOVE this "cabitat." Make sure your cat is relaxed initially so she adjusts to the condo, and then the trip will go great. If it worked for our cat, it should work for any cat. This is a great product. Also, they include a very well made little cat toy fishing pole thing which my cat loved.

LOVE this carrier! While not for air transport, for vehicle or motor home, it's perfect! AND when not in use, as it's a "pop up" carrier... it compacts down into a small travel bag - with everything inside it even! Looks even better than the photos shown, thus I didnt feel the need to post any of my own. 3 sides open up (just roll up and secure with the attached Velcro) so there is plenty of air flow, large spacious interior that will accommodate two smaller pets - tho designed for cats, two small cat sized dogs would also fit. I also have this sitting open when not in use traveling, to provide a cozy "cave" for my kitty. Plus as we are getting ready to travel a lot, I want the cat to get use to being inside the space. Again, the small dogs we have in the household tend to use it more than the cat does - so deff small dog approved! Come with everything you need to vehicle travel with your cat.. including a portable litter box! If you have one cat, the litter box could actually fit inside the crate, for two cats, the litter box will easily fit in the floorboard of the back seat of your vehicle. Of course, being portable, means that where ever you stop to stay, you have the necessary litter box! When not in use, it folds up and goes right back in the travel bag! If you camp a lot like we do, it's also a nice way to bring kitty along and let them hang outside with you and remain safe and obviously, not wander off... Now, on a more negative side (for some maybe, tho not myself) if you are putting this in the back seat of a car, it will probably take up the majority of the back seat (width and depth) - but your pet will still ride easily in it once you get it inside. For me, this is not the type of carrier that I would put the pet inside, and then carry out to the vehicle/location etc.. I would place the carrier and then hold the cat/carry the cat TO the carrier and put inside. Tho I've not tried putting the cat inside and carrying... it is quite long and you'd need a decent armspan to hold the two top handles and carry.. would be unwieldy I feel. But for what I needed - cost effective, versatile, spacious interior - this couldn't be more perfect!!

I originally purchased this for a cross country move with 2 cats. It fit perfect in the back seat, and they both had plenty of room inside. I have since started using it for transporting foster kittens to and from the humane society and it is a great size (sometimes needs to accommodate 5+ kittens). We constantly get asked at the humane society where we purchased the carrier from. Pros: Great size Easy to clean - kittens have had accidents and it is an easy material to wipe up Comes with a toy wand - My cats and foster kittens absolutely love this toy! After 3 years I am finally having to buy the first replacement feathers for this wand The interior floor mat is reversible (one side is soft cloth, the other is the easily wipeable material), can be washed in the washing machine, and can be used outside of the carrier Durability - I have had this carrier for 3 years now, and it is still in great shape Folds up - It conveniently folds up flat for easy storage Side flaps - It is so nice to have side flaps built in on the carrier. With a hard carrier, oftentimes I have to place a blanket over top to reduce a cat's anxiety, however with the built in flaps I can put them down or roll them up depending on the cat who is using it at the time and I don't have to bring a towel along The cats love playing in and around the carrier when I have it set up Because the carrier is soft sided, I can fit it in tighter spaces easier by bending the top down or a side in, etc. Makes it easy to load into the car. Cons The carrier doesn't always stay standing up, sometimes it tilts to the side so you may have to lean it against a wall. The wand comes in 2 pieces and the pieces easily come apart when using the wand The floor of the carrier is not very sturdy, so the cats often sink to the middle when I am carrying the carrier, especially when there are multiple cats. Because of the size of the carrier, it can be a bit awkward to hold and carry. The Pros far outweigh the Cons for me and I would definitely buy this carrier again and recommend it!

Worked great on our 12hr round trip, with 2 big Siberian cats (one cat was an angel but the other cat cried most of the time but that's not this product's fault). Thank goodness the zipper has a lock since my cats can undo the zipper when it wasn't locked! I love that it came with extras like the travel litter box, water bowl and the feather toy is very high quality. The only downside is there's only one side to unzip to put your pets in. I was hoping it zipped from up top also, which would have been way more convenient to place them in and out of the carrier. Oh, and the Velcro to hold the flaps up worked but they should have been placed long ways instead of the other way to be able to attach better. Maybe I put them up wrong? Overall, I would recommend this for travel since it's collapsible and comes with nice extras. It's great for 1 big pet or 2 small ones. It appeared to be scratch-proof also. Just improve it by allowing the top to be unzipped. For those who complained, it is NOT meant to carry your pets in, but rather to safely hold them in place while in your vehicle.

We used this to transport our cat in the car during a 3-day move/road trip from South Florida to Los Angeles. We ordered it a couple weeks ahead of time and she laid down in it as soon as we set it up in the living room. She also absolutely LOVES the toy that came with it, and begs to play with it all the time! We really appreciated the extras and the foldable litter box was a great help for us during the trip. We didn't use the box in the carrier, as she mostly slept the whole drive, but it was easy to bring into the hotel rooms during each stop. The carrier fit into the back seat of the Toyota Camry and was big enough to even hold her cat bed. It was a great size for our 12-pound girl and she just laid in bed in the carrier during the entire drive. I like that there is mesh on each side so she can see what's going on and I can say hello to check on her. The opening is large enough so that I could lean in through the open back door and stroke her every time we stopped. I would have appreciated more openings besides the one on the side so that I could have had easier access to pet her during driving. Also we couldn't figure out how the seat belt straps were supposed to work, or even if there actually were any, which was annoying at first. However we had so much stuff packed in the car that it wasn't possible to strap her in even if we could have figured out how. Overall a great purchase and we're glad we had it. Highly recommended for a long car trip with a cat. (also, we did not take her in and out of the car in this carrier, we left it in the car the whole time. When we took her out, we removed her from this carrier and either put her in a smaller one to bring her inside or just held her and walked her in.)

I was hesitant about buying this at first thinking it would be cheap and be broken by now. I’ve had it for a year now so I figured it was time to do a review. It has held up beautifully for starters! My husband and I live and travel full time in a motorhome and I wanted something safe to put the cats in otherwise they would just hide under a blanket in the bed so this just felt necessary for their safety and this was the safest thing for us and our cats. Before we purchased this carrier we had them in two regular carriers and it’s nice to know that they get to be by each other and be comforting each other while we’re driving. The popup litter box is the best and both of them fit comfortably with the litter box in the carrier! It is also super easy to clean and easiest to clean outside. I love how it folds up completely so we can just store it away when we reach our destination and when we need to use it it just pops back up so it’s super easy to assemble! My cats are fine with it they just don’t like being put in it lol. So that took some time at first they have warmed up to it a lot since then. I used the water bowl carabiner to lock the two zippers together so they don’t get out while we’re driving or just stopped for gas. We also took them back home with us on a 14 hour drive in our car and they did fantastic! It also comes with stakes so if we’re stopping to eat and we eat outside we normally bring them outside with us so they can see everything being as curious as they are. I am so extremely pleased with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone who travels with their cats a lot! We even plan on bringing them hiking in the near future and knowing they will be safe the whole car ride is the best feeling.

FIRST, I've seen a fair number of reviews citing how flimsy this carrier is. Yes, it is too flimsy IF you intend to physically lift and carry an animal in this carrier, especially if the animal is a heavy one. Also, several say that it's good for car rides, but it still could be crushed if it and surrounding objects are not properly secured. THAT SAID, I STILL think this set is intended more for travel once you reach your destination away from home (it folds up compactly inside its own bag making it super easy to travel with this). I got this specifically to offer my cat a litterbox option for use in a hotel stay. It worked perfectly and kept the litter inside the "condo" beautifully. The matching extra collapsible silicone bowl and cat toy were much appreciated. The toy is designed so well, I feel safe in saying it is of a much higher quality than ones I've purchased in pet stores in the past. I really loved the toy's design, collapsibility, and durability. SUGGESTIONS: I would also add a compact matching cat litter scooper/sifter shovel with this set. I also think it could be even better if there were two collapsible silicone bowls in the set -- one for food, one for water, or wet & dry food. There's plenty of room in the small carrying bag to hold everything when folded/collapsed, even if you add the two suggestions. LOVE this set.

My 9 month 11 pound kitten enjoyed this carrier. However, we took him on a long distance trip in it and within a hour or so he managed to escape!!! We have other enclosures with zippers and he’s never been able to get out of it! I’m not sure what’s the issue
