MidWest Homes for Pets Spree Travel Carrier – Hard-Sided Dog & Cat Carrier, Small Pet Travel Crate with Handle, Ventilated Design, Easy Assembly, 19-Inch, Red

Great deal for $14!!! I bought this item to bring my 4 month old kitten back and forth to the vet. I did purchase the bigger size to make sure my older cats can be comfy in it if need be.Pros: It’s cheap! It’s the cheapest carrier I was able to find. The size is great. It’s not huge but it will definitely work for all 3 of my cats, one of which is quite chunky. It was super easy to put together. The door can open from the left or from the right. The handle to carry it is actually carved right out of the top half of the carrier, rather than attached separately. I really appreciate this feature because my last (and expensive) carrier had the handle snap off when moving my chunky cat into my house. The door and top stay securely closed and my cat would not be able to find a way out.Come: The only thing that I would consider a “con” is that the carrier comes with “strap hooks” that you attach to the carrier yourself. These hooks are very flimsy plastic and I would not trust the weight of the carrier on them. I personally wouldn’t use them anyway so it doesn’t really bother me. But if you’re purchasing this item with intent to use these, don’t. The entire cage is held together with plastic. The entire top half Is secured onto the bottom half with plastic clasps. I don’t see it being a problem for the cats I own, but if you have a very fat kitty or small dog, I would be cautious.Overall I am pleased with my purchase and honestly see this as a steal.

My cat carrier is the larger, 22 inch model - as compared to the 19 inch model. Listed dimensions: 20.70L x 13.22W x 14.09H.Before purchasing, I saw some reviews claiming flimsiness. I disagree. My 20 pound cat was very secure and comfortable in this carrier. Before using it for him, I put 25 pounds of goods into the carrier and toted it around. If I could, I would have put a sturdier handle. I don't think it was going to bend with 25 pounds of weight, but it was sort of getting to its upper limit of strength, I sensed. But other than that, it was rock solid.I drilled holes in it for adding zip ties - but that was unnecessary. The box is designed with two zip tie holes along he back, but nowhere else. The reason for this is when assembling, the top clam shell attaches to the bottom with offset teeth (see photo, taken from underneath) they are all over the perimeter, so all you have to do is mate up the teeth, then slide the top to lock it to the bottom.There are so many teeth that the connection is entirely secure. The zip ties prevent the clam shells from BACK SLIDING!So add two zip ties, but there is no need to drill more holes like I did. I thought the original holes (and the ones I were adding) were used to bind the top to the bottom. No. They merely prevent sliding / unlocking. The teeth provide plenty of binding strength.Oh yea.. the clips for adding a carrying strap look useless to me. Flimsy... but I would never ever use such a strap. I've never seen anyone use such a strap on a carrier like this, so its no loss at all.One odd little thing: there was a plastic "door" that looked like it got folded on a seam, and closed an open gap below the handle, in the 'roof' of the carrier. It seemed odd, and it bugged me. I snapped it off on purpose. You will understand once you see your carrier.The red one WAS the cheapest at 14.99. Now they are listing at 19.99.. Blue ones are 15.99. Green; 19.99 All of them are a steal at under $30.00 - my estimate of what a fair price would have been at Wally World. So the blue one at 15.99 is like you are robbing them.. This is for the larger model, remember..5 Stars!PS I have no affiliation with the seller. I just searched cat carriers and thought Id try this one.

This carrier is all plastic except for the door, which is some type of metal. It works. It was less expensive when I didn't have the money to spend on a more expensive one.What I liked -Easy to assemble.My cat fits in it (and, btw, she loved the paper that came with the package as a toy. LOL) She's a small cat.The carrier is sturdy and I've had no problems that way I didn't give it five stars on sturdiness because I can see a future problem.It performs the function of a carrier really well when it's just to the car then to the house. I let my cat out while traveling.What I didn't like -It's a little small for traveling. So, if you want one for traveling, get the next size up from what you think you need. I have a small cat and I wouldn't leave her in it for traveling.The locking method for the door. It's a bit cheesy. The prongs of the door fit into "locks" that are in the carrier (you install the locks - they snap in) and you line up the locks with the grooves in the carrier. Then you turn all four locks to keep the door in place when closed. If you want the door to swing, you have to turn two of the locks. It's awkward to deal with. The locks are plastic just like the body of the carrier, and I can see this becoming an issue after a lot of use. Also, I accidentally took the door off one time and my cat escaped! (She doesn't like to be confined in any way, shape, or form.)Because the carrier came in pieces, I'm wondering about future stability. The top and bottom snap together, so I'm a little concerned that with regular use it might come apart. I've only used it four times since I got it.All in all, if one is looking for an inexpensive carrier and doesn't expect it to be a travel carrier or to put heavy animals in it, it's great. Would I recommend it? Yes, I would. I'm satisfied with my purchase, and in the same circumstances, I would purchase it again.

es una excelente opción, buena calidad, resistente y práctica, la puedes armar y desarmar las veces que se necesite, la usé para transportar muchos años a mi gatita que ya no está en esta dimensión 😭 la recomiendo muchísimo mi gatita siempre viajo cómoda y segura

The plastic pieces for attaching are good quality and made perfectly so no struggle to assemble. No need to any tools. I recommend this. Worth the price and peace of mind. Thanks

Decent value. Sturdy enough to ship a puppy.

I ordered one of these to replace a 20 year old carrier (that was much heavier and not as good of a gate system).2 days later I ordered another of these.So simple to put together, the kittens love playing in it, very light but solidly built.Just not sure why the top is open under the handle when it arrived, but it seems like it should be closed, so I closed it.Also, it comes with 2 strap hooks.I can't imagine running a strap through the hooks and carrying like that, when it has a perfectly fine built in handle...

Great for the Vet visit - and a medium catWouldn't go larger or longer.
