Van NessPets Calm Carrier Max with EZ Load Slide Out Drawer, Hard-Sided Travel Crate for Cats and Small Dogs

I will be moving soon and will take my cats with me. Some of my cats are tame and can be handled easily. Some are gentle creatures that simply do not want to be touched. This carrier (I purchased the large size) should make the process of confining the cats for travel less stressful for both the cats and me. I did try the carrier out when I received it and it seems to work as described by the manufacturer. I agree with a reviewer who commented that the carrier is not as sturdy as it could be. But I think it will hold up just fine. My indoor cats are not aggressive. Could a frightened feral damage the carrier? Possibly. But I won’t be using this carrier for that type of cat, nor would I recommend it for an adult cat bent on escaping.,I will be ordering several more large carriers. I do have kittens that will fit in the smaller size carrier but the large ones are more useful since they accommodate all size cats.

It was getting really hard to put our elderly cat in his old carrier and he has a lot of health issues so we wanted something that didn't add to the stress of his trips to the vet. This carrier is amazing! It's so easy to get him in and out of and our Veterinary clinic loves it too!! Initially a bit irritating to put together, but it didn't take long and it's super sturdy. We have four cats so I expect to get a lot of use out of it. Very happy with our purchase!

Great product

I love the slide-out aspect, it's a very clever design to help get pets out at the vet if they refuse to come out. Other than that, it is awful. The plastic is thin, without reinforcements, and the tol and bottom bend a lot when you pick it up. The handle isn't actually attached and just kind of hooks through two holes with a smll plastic hook piece. When you pick it up and the plastic flexes, the handle pops out and the carrier falls to the ground with your pet in it. For almost $70, I expect a little better quality.

Easy to get pet into and out of carrier. When we take our cat to the veterinarian the staff absolutely love the carrier for its ease of use. A well engineered system. I highly recommend this product!
