Customers say
Customers appreciate the animal carrier’s roomy design, good value for money, and portability. They find it large enough for two medium-sized cats to hang out and move around in. Many consider it a useful product that works perfectly for their needs. While most customers find it lightweight and easy to transport, there are mixed opinions on its sturdiness, cat health, and foldability.

Amazing for road trip with cats!
I have traveled cross country with my cats in the car a dozen or so times and this was an absolutely awesome addition for my latest trip from Indiana to Texas. It is well-made and I love that it can be stored flattened back to a flat circle shape about the size of a dinner plate. My 13 year old cat and 8 month old kitten both loved it! Itâs a great size for cats or small dogs because they are able to move around. Keep in mind that it takes up a lot of space (about 2/3 of the back seat of my CR-V) and it is just thin tent-like material, so if your pet decides to try to claw its way out that it probably will be pretty easy to destroy. Highly recommend for any log distance pet travel!!

Very nicely designed.
It’s built and designed well, it makes transportation easy, it’s easy to assemble, functional, and VERY roomy, even for 2 cats.

Travels well
I purchased the kennel to take my cat on a long trip by car, it worked out perfectly. It fit in the back seat of the car nicely. The zippered openings on the side and front of the kennel gave me easy access when taking him out and easy viewing. He had room to move around (unlike his carrier) and slept in his favorite bed. When not in use the kennel collapses for easy storage. A nice product

Working for my Kitten
I got a rescued kitten in October. I also work a few days a week and don’t feel he’s old enough to be left by himself for 8-10 hours. He also sleeps in it at night for the same reason… not old enough to wander around unattended.Within a day he had figured out the zippers. The fix for me was a small swivel hook, but small carabiner clip might work. The carabiner I had was too large and he was able to escape through even that small opening, thus the small swivel hook..Most times he goes right in when we get to the opening, not happy about it, but he does. A few times in the beginning I admit to having pushed him in and dodging those flailing claws to get him zipped up, but those times are long gone now. I guess it’s a matter of… look Mister, I don’t think you realize this but I’m the boss and this is YOUR room. lol Of course that was before I realized HE is the BOSS of the house…Within the first few days of having it, he jumped on it and of course it collapsed. You can’t have a fold up device if it won’t collapse. Did it scare him, lol , yes….. did it keep him from coming back to jump on it again, and again and again, NO. He finally learned his ‘bedroom’ was NOT a perch to jump on.I never thought about putting a litter box in it, but he’s only 6 months old and I shouldn’t have expected he could do a 9-10 hour stay and then turn around a few hours later and do an over night stay in it with perfection…. so yes, we had a little accident.The mat did not absorb all of the accident, which is how I discovered we had a little issue. Urine soaked through the bottom of the kennel. I’ll have to figure a way to clean that up and find him a small litter box because it’s not his fault he couldn’t wait any longer, it’s mommy’s for expecting too much from a little 6 month old baby.I’ve read the mat can be washed, so I’m glad to know that. I also read a comment about someone using baking soda to clean the main fabric. Hoping that will work. Otherwise, I wouldn’t mind buying a second one and start out with a litter box inside it, but we’ll see if we can clean this one up first. I sometimes call him the Demon kitty because he’s all teeth and claws on my arms. lol . As far as durability, it’s held up to the demon kitty and the clasps I put on the zipper pulls have contained him, so I have no complaints and would probably invest in another should I need it. I even recommended to another new kitty owner.I haven’t had to travel any distance with him, so can’t speak for the travel useage, but see that others have. The only trips we’ve made have been to the vet less than 5 miles away and I got a small carrier for that. He travels well in the carrier and I suspect he would do well in his Bedroom (kennel).He even goes in now and plays a little bit from time to time I think for my purposes, it has been a good investment.

Not foolproof!
We purchased this to transport our two cats (11lbs & 2lbs) from Western New York to Florida. We chose this design because it was so big and we thought the cats would do better if they were together. There was plenty of room for them, along with a small litter box.Problem – it is not very sturdy and our older cat was bent on not being caged. She was able to maneuver the zipper for the first escape, and then later actually ripped part of the unit for her second escape. That wasn’t so bad, as she would settle elsewhere in the car (she doesn’t like being contained!) but the kitten soon figured out how to get out, too, and then my poor husband was defeated. I was driving our other car and we had to stop and move the kitten to a hard carrier in my car, and just toss this carrier, as it had been torn and was not doing the job. My husband drove the rest of the way with the cat reclining in the back on top of all of our boxes & luggage, with occasional visits to his lap. I had the kitten in the hard carrier. Lesson learned!

QUALITY PRODUCT AS DESCRIBED
This Sportpet Design pet carrier is a quality product well worth the price. It is sturdy, large, collapsable and well built. The outer material is made from some type of fabric but it is much stronger than i had expected.IF, and i do mean IF, a cat were able to claw through the fabric it would take them a long time to get out and it would not be easy.So it is perfect for transporting pets in a vehicle or as a temporary cage when the owner is nearby to keep an eye on the pet. Two medium sized cats could fit just fine in it for a couple of hours on a road trip without being cramped.It is a GREAT pet carrier/kennel considering the low price but don’t expect a hard plastic outer shell because it is made from a durable type of fabric similar to what I have seen some camping tents made from. But it is strong enough to keep the average dog or cat confined within for a few hours easily. I am glad i purchased it.

Not sturdy and easy to rip
My dog was able to flip this over so many times and move it from one side of the room to the other just by scratching herself. She was so scared in it that she chewed threw it in a few minutes and shes a small dog.

A casinha é muito boa pois é leve e assim se torna fácil de manejar ela pela casa.O único contraponto é que se o seu cachorro é acostumado encostar na parede para dormir, provavelmente a casinha vai tombar algumas vezes.. acontece com a minha as vezes, mas ai é só deixar encostado na parede q isso não acontece!

It helps but I thought it would be a little more stable and the material thicker, anyway helped me with my tiny kittens

I really enjoyed this product. The seller did a good job customizing this product and solving the problems other sellers have with similar items. Itâs very large, durable & easily accessible. I would definitely recommend this item to others.One thing to be cautious about are the edges (they are held up by metal rods that bend easily) if you purchase this make sure you donât place heavy weights ontop. This is for SMALL ANIMALS only. Anything heavy will make the material floppy as it is a cloth materials.At the end of the day I am satisfied with the purchase, my rabbit loves it too 🙂 cheers.

Apenas llevo unas horas con el producto y superó mis espectatuvas.La tela se siente resistente incluso ya aguantó algunos arañazos (ojo, mi gatita no tiene las garras tan filosas porque le gusta escalar un muro de concreto), plegada es muy portable casi como llevar una laptop mediana de 14 pulgadas y no pesa casi nada. Desplegada es bastante grande, más de lo que esperaba, mi gato tiene tanto espacio que ni completamente estirada llega al largo de la casa (ojo 2, mi gata es adulta pero pequeña de tamaño, como del tamaño de un Pug).Apenas la abrà mi gatita se metió para curiosear y se llevó uno de sus peluches, ni siquiera tuve que usar catnip ni motivarla a entrar aún que es muuuuuy tÃmida

This is very light weight – not what was expected. It’s easy to put up, but sadly the dog refuses to go into it and is scared of it, so I will probably on-sell or gift to a charity shop and look for something else.
