I only need this carrier to take my cats to the Vet. The carrier is a nice size. The only drawback is I cannot find a cushion/pad to fit it. All the pads I see are either too big or too small. I end up having to use some folded towels but they won't stay in place and end up a balled up mess. It's either that or just go without which is pretty uncomfortable for the cat laying on the hard plastic. I would recommend this carrier but would tell them the problem with finding a pad.

I bought this for my Bengal to keep her safe . I have always purchased petmate but this top load caused me injuries . I’m placing my calm kitty ion if using the top load door and it slams shut before I had my cat inside which caused my kitty to freak out . Needless to say I arrived at my vets office a bloody mess . My cat had to be Seen that day and my vet office is only a 2 min drive . The girls at the front desk freaked out and took me into the back to help me clean up , get antibiotic ointment on my scratches and bandage me up . First time I used it and now my normally very calm kitty freaks out over any carrier

I have 2 Petmate kennels (19" and 24") and they're your basic hard-sided carrier. All's well & good, though the top-load door is more obnoxious than it's worth - it will NOT stay open on its own, so if you're going to load your pet in from the top, know you'll need one hand available to hold the top door open. If you're loading into the front, you'll have no problem.

These are awesome for cats. Solid, secure, and well vented. Easy to get them into and out of without too much drama.

Very well-made and sturdy carrier which allows you to put your pet in either through the front or through the top which is very handy. This is my second purchase of this particular carrier as I previously owned a 19 inch version for my kittens and this is the 24 inch version. The best carrier I have come across and I’ve shopped around quite a lot

Sturdy, lightweight. Love having two door options. I gave mine to my daughter when she got her cat (and bought a crummy carrier!) so this is my 2nd purchase of the same exact one. It’s that good.

After much researching, I decided to go with Petmate to transport my 8.5 lb cat on car rides and was very happy with this decision! I love that I can put her in the top and close it quickly as she is an expert escape artist. Have tried the zippered models but she busts out while I’m still fiddling with the zippers with both hands. Highly recommend this model!

I had a pet mate carrier for 13 years and it carried four different cats. Honestly I used it at least 50 times. It finally gave out and I was thrilled to find the brand again. It’s still a winner! I bought one for each cat
